10.1.17 Faces II

Round II of my new Faces Series. These were also shot down at Blip Roasters this last Sunday Morning.  I plan on moving this around some, so keep  look out for me and my whteboard.

I hope you enjoy viewing them, as much as I did shooting them! And if you find yourself at Blip one Sunday morning, or where ever I have my setup, feel free to jump in front of the whiteboard, and add yourself to the collection. 

Cheers!

I hope you enjoy the images from today.

 

Cody Canada & the Departed at Knuckleheads Saloon

A few nights ago I was lucky enough to get all access to the Cody Canada & the Departed at Knuckleheads Saloon. Anyone who has ever been to a show at Knuckleheads knows what a truly one of a kind and great place to see live music. If you haven't seen a show at Knuckleheads, what are you waiting for? If you are a fan of Red Dirt Rock, then you are probably already familiar with Cody Canada & the Departed, but if you're not, you should check them out http://www.thedepartedmusic.com/#home

Anyways, here are a few shots from the night, hope you enjoy!

 

A new direction

I've been wanting to move to a new direction in my portraiture work. More of a lifestyle / documentary style. I believe capturing people in real moments has a stronger and longer lasting impact then staging people in front of a camera and pressing the shutter. Luckily a few friends recently had the same idea and allowed me to capture their family over the course of a few hours one cold winter afternoon.  I'm really pleased with what we were able to capture and hope these images bring them joy for years to come.

LandScapes of CityScapes

Recently I was tasked with coming up with a new angle on an old favorite. I love our skyline, but I may have been stuck in a rut. So I went out looking for a new place and a new space. Below is one shot of the old tried and true, and the rest are what I found when I went looking for something new. 

Babies and Sunflowers

Some friends recently asked me to do some maternity photos for them, and they wanted a Kansas theme. It just turned out that the timing was right to head out to the land of OZ and get some beautiful photos with some Sunflowes at Grinter Farms just passed the yellow brick road.

The Princesses and the Phone

I took this shot in the River Market just north of Downtown Kansas City. I didn't notice until I started looking at the shots on my computer the two little girls in Disney Princes  costumes. Kind of made the shot for me.

Austin

I had to go to Austin TX this week for work and found my onto 6th street. Found a contortionist in the middle of those inside a suitcase and another man looking for investors into his agricultural endeavors.
