$7,000.00 Raised For Kenadee Lucker Education Fund

After he passed I sifted through my old photos and tried to dig up anything I had …

Atticus Guest Blog: How To Be A Polite Photographer On Someone Else’s Stage

Pierce The Veil – Collide With The Sky photoshoot

I photographed Pierce The Veil for their 2012 release “Collide With The Sky”. Basically we shot all the images that would be used for general press having to do with their album. So think posters, flyers, ads, magazine features etc etc. Most magazines use exclusive shoots for their features and covers… but some have smaller budgets so they just use the general press. We knocked all these looks out in …

2011 Full Recap

2011 was an awesome year. I switched it up a little bit and shot a lot less press/ promo images for bands and did a ton more touring and traveling. I also put a lot of time into the Lens Bracelet® – and got it trademarked woohoo. This blog isn’t meant to be one, giant, brag, more of way to just sum of 2011 in one spot. A polite pat …

2011 Concert/ Live/ Candid/ Lifestyle Portfolio

… or whatever you want to call it! I posted my favorite images from 2011.

If you are a photographer yourself and you are reading this, I am sure you know exactly what I am talking about. If you aren’t a …
