Here are a few shots of Downtown KC. I am endeavoring to shoot on a more regular basis and to that end I have been exploring and photographing the city some.

Here are a few more shots from our trip to Seattle in January. My sister in law was kind enough to go downtown with me despite the fact that the day we went it was rather rainy.

My Father-in-law and his good friend Tom head up a prayer meeting on Union Hill, just outside of Seattle. They let me take a few portraits of them when we were visiting earlier this month.

2009 has ended in a flurry of wintry cold. Looking ahead to 2010 I have set myself quite a few goals both in my photography and my personal life. I don’t like to think of them as “resolutions” per se because that can leave things ambiguous and I know from personal experience when my goals are vague they don’t get accomplished. I am keeping my goals measurable (as much as possible) so I can plan the steps to their accomplishment and I am able to evaluate myself as I go on a pass/fail grade.

What are my long term goals?

What can I do in 2010 to accomplish them?

What can I do in January to work toward success?

How about today?

One of my goals for this year is that I intend to make my blog a little more personal and to shoot/blog on a weekly basis at least. To that end I took a walk last night around sunset with nothing but my Lensbaby. We are visiting Jennifer’s parents in Seattle this week and it is beautiful here.

Jackson is graduating high school this year. He is a very cool and very fun and we wanted to do a shoot that reflects his uniqueness. Stay tuned for part 2.

I had the pleasure of shooting Joy a while back. She is a very talented singer here at the International House of Prayer. We had a good time out wandering around the Crossroads District.

These shots were specifically for her website. Designed by the Lifetree Creative team.

So I’ve been out of the blogging loop for a while. A while back I did some headshots for my dad. He is the director for Ichthus Ministries and was in need of some promo shots.

And yes, he and I look exactly alike (give or take a few years). We have some pictures of my dad from high school and they look just like me when I was in high school. Not only do we look exactly alike we also have so many of the same mannerisms including but not limited to: Talking to other drivers in condescending tones, Humming alternate bass lines to Jazz music because we think we know better and being slightly OCD about the most random and unimportant things.

I’ll be honest: it’s kinda nice to know I’ll be good looking at 50 (was that a compliment or back door bragging? I’ll let you decide).

When Amanda contacted me about doing this shoot she said she wanted it to be “urban maternity.” So we went to the most run down place I know: The Westbottoms. Amanda was a lot of fun. She was ready and willing to climb or sit on anything.

I did a shoot with Brianna the other evening. Her and her husband Gabe came over and we did a bit of a studio shoot. It was a lot of fun.
