I’ll be photographing Ryan and Sarah’s wedding in October and spent a couple hours with them yesterday to shoot some engagement portraits.  Ryan and Sarah are a fun couple and since they’ve been relying on Amtrak every time they want to see each other (Ryan’s living in Chicago, Sarah’s in Kalamazoo), they wanted some shots [...]

Family Portrait – The Wilfongs

I had a fun time shooting some family portraits for the Wilfongs at Milham Park this weekend.  It was a bit of a challenge to get everyone facing the right direction since Bella the dog was distracted by the squirrels and Chase was, well, two and a half years old…  =)  …but all the pieces [...]

USC at Notre Dame

USC at Notre Dame

When USC travels to the midwest, I’m there.  I had the opportunity to photograph the Trojans’ game at Notre Dame last weekend.  And what a game it was–down to the last second, literally, with some bad calls giving ND a chance to tie with one second to go.  USC prevailed with a 34-27 victory though, [...]
