The M & M Girls: Madison and Meredith

I love my speedlights!

Just doing some experimenting with off camera slave's. I used my master to slave my 430's....I think the WB is a little off, but what great eyes!

New 17-40 L Series Lens

I bought this lens, a month ago, but I have not had the time to actually use it! I had the afternoon for some hobby shooting...Slow shutter shot, F22, 1/8, 50 iso.

What is an engagment session, you ask?

Couples ask me if it's important to have an engagement session in their wedding photography package. I think that is so important that I include it in every package. These photographs and the experience associated with the session will prove invaluable before, during, and after the wedding.
During the engagement session I'll also gain a better insight of your personalities, expressions, and how the couple relates to one other. Posing for photographs so that you'll always be seen at your best is also part of the session. The session is designed to get to know the couple’s character and just plain having fun with your partner and your photographer…..Thanks DBP

Engagement sessions are quickly approaching!!!

On Saturday night I got to experience something that I have never before...shooting Roller Derby! What a blast! Serious Fun, awesome atmosphere, and lots of entertainment! My assistant and I took to the game, match, bout, whatever you call it, and shot a few pics, here is one, there will be more on the way!

Jan: Senior Photo Shoot

Jan and I met at Great Bear (Ski Area East of Sioux Falls) to take his senior photos...it was cold and windy, but we got it done! Lots of snow and lots of different metering...snow can cause a little havoc. 18% gray, yah right, just added a little exposure compensation and worked with the white balance! Had a great time Jan!
