Notice the neon green hat Jameson picked out (knit by a good friend) … It seems as though Jameson does not approve of the hospital cap. After asking him many times to leave it alone, only to see him try to sneakily remove it minutes later, Leslie decided to let Jameson “pick out” another hat that he liked better… Well, since this one has crowned his little dome it has yet to be revoked!
Ahh that tasted good! Can you see the milk on his face?
Round two please?
Love Me
James is very intrigued by all the littleness of his new brother. He loves to say, “gentle” and rub his head, and he especially is interested in Ike’s hands. He likes to uncover them and see them whenever he can. Here a shot of Jameson teaching Isaac one of his favorite things to do… “knuckles.” Equipped with the “BOOM” after their collision and everything. Fun times are ahead for these brothers!
This is Jameson when he was just one day old.
And this is Isaac when he was just one day old.
I just love him! He is so small. Praise God for this little life!!!
And here is the amazing woman who bore this child! Thank You babe!
It looks like James was more excited than Isaac was.
After the excitement died down the BIG brother watched a movie on dads phone.
Leslie was even feeling good enough to grab this one of Isaac with his Daddy.
God has blessed us with our second son Isaac Noah. He was born at 5:56AM on February 5th 2010! He weighs 5lb 2oz and stretches out to 18 1/2 inches. Labor and delivery went well and everyone is happy and healthy.. Here’s a few pics for now, more to come… Jameson is a big brother and I am so proud to be the dad of two boys!
Something Blue Collective is featuring one of my weddings which took place at the famous Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville.
The wedding planning website Something Blue Collective has included me as one of their featured photographers. The makers of the site interviewed some of Louisville’s finest wedding vendors. The site is a great resource for any bride because the vendors are simply sharing their expertise to help educate brides as they plan. It is especially helpful for brides in the Louisville area because it lets them get acquainted with their local vendors and venues. What I think is the best part about the site is that brides don’t have to read a bunch of boring text. Instead, they can watch entertaining videos that allow them to meet the vendors. You can view videos about wedding photographers, djs, caterers, planners, and venues in and near Louisville. I am honored to be featured on the site. Something Blue Collective followed me throughout a post wedding portrait session and takes you behind the scenes answering how and why each photo was taken. You can find my video under the category Capture.
Louisville Bride is currently featuring one of my recent weddings. Josh and Maggie got married at Huber’s Winery in Southern Indiana. It was a nice Fall wedding with clouds looming, but the rain stayed away! I loved this big red tractor. We had a great time wandering through an apple orchard and a vineyard, both conveniently within 200 yrds of the ceremony site.
I just got back from Imaging USA, which is the largest photography conference and trade show in the nation. I had a great time! I was able to learn from some of the industry’s finest and most successful photographers. Also, I had the opportunity to get my hands on some of the newest cutting edge products available. I am inspired and motivated for another good year.
The conference was held at the world-class Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville.

Over the holidays we were able to meet my newest little niece Ellie. She is such a cutey. Seeing her really got me exited for my new little boy who should be making his appearance in February.
I am commonly asked by friends, family and clients, what equipment I use and also what advice I have on what camera or lenses they should buy. So when I saw this informative article on B&H, I thought I would post it for all of you who want a new lens this holiday season. By the way, feel free to keep asking, I love to talk about photo gear! For those of you here in Louisville you can always try a lens out before you buy it by renting it from Murphy’s Camera, who by the way does a great job of having competitive prices with the big stores like B&H. I like to buy local whenever possible and I have been pleased with Murphy’s Camera.
My favorite lens is probably my Canon 70-200/2.8L IS because it is such a workhorse. As you can see in the image above, it lets me get right in there while staying at a distance. I use this lens all day at weddings, but that doesn’t mean I don’t use other lenses. One of the most rarely used lenses is my fish-eye, which gives really playful distortion and makes for fun images. I would never leave home without it.
My Canon 16-35/2.8L gives me a really wide angle without distortion. The only way to get the photo below was at 16mm on a full frame camera.
Lastly my Canon 50/1.4 provides an amazing shallow depth of field that blurs the background, prefect for portraits like this one.
If you don’t know what lens is right for then this article may be worth your time. To read it Click Here.
