If you read my blog much, you’ve seen this guy before. This is my third year as his photographer, and I had a great time reconnecting with his family. They’ve been part of my annual midwest tour, and they help make my trips a lot of fun. What I love best about this group of images is the insight into character. The boy he is this summer has been captured in these images. Even as things continue to change, these photographs will always have a magical ingredient that defies explanation. That magic is what keeps me making photographs.

I headed over to Wayward Cafe in the U district last week and got to spend some time photographing their yummy food. It’s a cool little vegan breakfast/lunch cafe, tucked away on the corner of 55th and 9th. The food is awesome, no matter what you’re accustomed to eating. You should check it out!
Some photos to whet your appetite:

I got a rare opportunity to photograph a newborn, only 10 days old! So many people wait to have their baby’s portraits done until 3 months or so, and they miss out on this lovely opportunity. Thanks to the S family for welcoming me into your home.

I’ve decided to take a whack at some more fine art photography. I have a bunch of nature images, which I love, but I’m looking to start working on some projects that are more intentional and thematic. For starters, I’m planning to create some pieces inspired by some of my favorite theatre. I’m thinking my first project might be influenced by Samuel Beckett. It’s not family portraiture, but it’s fun. And I definitely have time for both!

This little guy was dressed so well for portraits! He looks stylish, coordinated, and clean. But what I like most is that he’s comfortable so he can relax and focus on being himself. There’s enough distraction with a camera around; who needs uncomfortable clothes on top of it? I always aim to reflect the moment, and the subject for who/what it is. These parents knew that to have a comfortable portrait that reflects their son’s real essence, he needed to be relaxed and comfortable.
And while we’re here . . . there’s a lot to ponder about the composition in this photograph; especially the use of lines.
