Brand New Website!
This is sort of old news. I have a brand new website. And by new, I mean that it’s now been up for about a month or so. (My blog is still the same as you can see). I must have been so busy knitting sweaters for Christmas that I forgot to mention it. In [...]

Party Follow-up
First of all, thanks so much for everyone that came to the party on Friday. Throughout the night, we had about 100 people come see our space and say hello. And I just can’t say enough good about the band that played: The Gatsbys. Thanks fella’s. You really spiced things up. I kept hoping they’d [...]
Party This Friday!
This Friday, December 5th, we’re having an anniversary party at the studio. Although I’ve been in business for ten years or so, we’ve only been at this location for one year. We’d love to have you come say hi. If you’ve been reading the blog now and again and we’ve never met face to face, [...]

Advice for photographers
Advice for photographers: Never think photography is easy. It’s like poetry in that it’s easy enough to make a few rhymes, but that’s not a good poem. –Chris Steele-Perkins There’s so much more where that came from on Magnum’s blog.
Portrait of a social media and blogging expert
Janet writes on internet marketing, affiliate marketing, business blogging, and social media. She came to my studio because she’s updating her blog and wanted a new portrait to go with it. Two things about Janet really impressed me. One – she knows so much about the convoluted world of SEO and business blogging. A true [...]

Photo Expo 2008
To any photographers that may read my blog, I’m wondering if you are going to Photo Expo this year. If so, let me know and let’s meet up. What is Photo Expo? Here it is from their website: PDN PhotoPlus continues to be on the cutting edge of what’s happening in photography and imaging. Since [...]
LaCaille Bridal Show
Last Saturday, Amy and I exhibited at the LaCaille Bridal Show. It was the first of such things for us and we had a really great time. Big, big thanks to the Flower Basket for providing such gorgeous flower arrangements for us. And thanks to everyone that came by to say hello. We had such [...]

I love my job
Tonight I ran into a friend I haven’t seen in a long while. He’s a photographer. He told me that he hasn’t photographed any weddings in a year or two and he recently realized how relieved he felt about that. I’m so happy for him that he is now photographing only the kinds of jobs [...]

Look good for less
Nearly every time I give someone my business card I hear, “I really love your card.” At least 9 out of 10 times I hear that. That’s because Ben at the Mandate Press made them and they are letterpressed on Mowhawk Superfine paper. If you want to make a great first impression but have always [...]

By the way, Jose Villa, who I’ve written about before, has the cover shot on the print edition of the magazine (available on news stands now). Also, as far as I can tell, there is only one other photographer from Utah other than myself [...]

WPPI
WPPI was really, really great/exhausting. There was so much info packed into three days. For me, hearing Denis Reggie speak was the most valuable part of WPPI this year. He was, by a long shot, the most inspiring speaker and the one with the most valuable and well thought out content. He was bright, informative, [...]

WPPI
I’ve been in Vegas with 10,000 other wedding photographers for the past few days attending WPPI. It’s been really great and I’ve got some pictures to post soon, and a detailed list of why it’s been so good to be here. All that will come shortly. But right now, sleep.

Portrait – Dave W.
Dave works at one of the local companies providing software and networking to a world-wide market. A publication in Chicago is writing an article about him. They need an accompanying photo. I don’t know what image they’ll use, but these are some I think have potential. As it turns out, Dave and I are from [...]
We have a winner
Thanks for all the entries for our Free Portrait contest. Our lucky winner: Amy Brenneman
Great photography will always be in demand
Once I had dinner with a friend of mine. She made one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. So satisfying. The next day she gave me a ride to the airport and while she drove, I snapped a few pictures of her. She saw the camera and said, “Wow. I bet that takes really [...]

The only corners we cut around here are the corners
Because we are interested in building a world class brand, there was only one place we’d go when it came time to get new business cards: Seraph Stationery. Ben makes beautiful printed pieces the old fashion way. And by old fashion way, I mean, on machines that were built around the turn of the century. [...]

Talking about photography
Here is a really great article about the challenge of talking about photography to people that don’t know all that much about it. This is written by a photo editor at a well known publication (although he doesn’t say which publication). His challenge is to convince the magazine editor which photo will best serve the [...]

Office Space
This morning I signed a lease on an office space in downtown Provo. Once we get the place painted and arrange the couches just so, I’ll post a few snaps. It’s going to be great. We’ll have a reception area up front as well as a back office that I’ll be sharing with Gheen Hillman. [...]
