Extraordinary Makeup Artist

Every now and then I get the chance to work with someone truly gifted in their talent.  Pamela Lesch of www.makeupartistcharleston.com is just such a person.  Most recently I had the privilege of working with her at my Wireless Lighting Workshop.  She did an amazing job giving our model, Brittany McDougal, that special “look”.  THEN, she was kind enough to feature us on her very popular Blog.  Check it out:  http://charlestonmakeupartist.blogspot.com/2010/02/let-there-be-wireless-light.html.  If you need an extraordinary Makeup Artist, I highly recommend Pamela!!!100125-0058

Welcome to our cooler, better, bigger, BRAND NEW BLOG!  I’ve been photo-blogging for years.  I love passing on information, sharing my passion, and highlighting favorite images I’ve created throughout this journey called LIFE.  But we sort of outgrew the limitations of our old blogging system along the way.  Here then, is our totally customized new blog!  Danella, a wonderfully gifted designer and photographer, built it for us…to be totally and uniquely “US”.  Bookmark it.  Visit often.  We hope you enjoy this new window into our world as we continue along this journey with you!


Wireless Lighting Workshop

My good friend and fellow photographer, Matt Daniel, shared these scenes from the Wireless Lighting Workshop earlier this week. Yes, the nice policeman really did ask us to move the vintage limo off the historic brick street. J

‘Tis the Season

I still remember Anne-Magill & Brad’s wedding like it was YESTERDAY! When they found out little Merritt was on the way, they signed up for our “Welcome To The World” collection. So I’ve had the pleasure of photographing their beautiful girl since she was just a part of Mamma’s belly! 🙂 She’s now 6-months old. Here are a few of my favorites from their Christmas session on their beautiful property.

High Dynamic Range Photography

High Dynamic Range (or HDR) photography has fascinated me for some time. So I finally decided to take a crack at it. It involves photographing a series of bracketed exposures of the same image, then merging them together.


I used a popular HDR program called Photomatix. Here are a couple of my first attempts from last week. Any thoughts or suggestions on what I could do different?!?
