Painting With Light

Well, one of the reasons I haven't updated the blog in so long is because I've been busy trying to set up a new web site. Catch me at my new web site, where I'll be blogging:

PPSNF Roundtable Discussion Night

The Professional Photographers Society of North Florida had it's monthly meeting last night. The January meeting is traditionally a "Round Table Discussion" meeting, where members can ask questions about anything related to professional photography. However, the meeting started on a somber note honoring the passing of Marie Moran, a popular member who recently lost her battle with breast cancer. After a moment of silence, she was given a long standing ovation by her peers.

There were focus groups on portraiture, wedding photography, landscape and fine arts photography, marketing, pricing and business practices, and an introduction to our new member's forum. Members (and our numerous guests) spent 20 minutes in each focus group before moving onto the next topic. Hors d'œuvre and a cash bar capped the evening with a chance to socialize after the holidays.

Merry Christmas!

Going out to see everyone's Christmas decorations on Christmas Eve has been a long standing family tradition. Here's a short video of some of the decorations we found.

Ashley and Spence Engagement part 1 of 5

Last weekend, we had a terrific time photographing Ashley and Spence for their engagement session. We got up real early and headed to the beach to catch the sunrise. It was about 60 degrees outside, with a stiff breeze that made it feel even colder. They must have thought I was nuts to ask them to roll up their pant legs and step in the water.

They were real troopers, though, and we got some terrific shots. I'll be sharing some of my favorites this week here on my blog.
