Day After Shoot : Jackie and K.C

I had the pleasure of shooting a day after portrait session with Jackie and K.C. a couple of weeks ago at Scott and Lindsay Pruitt's horse ranch. Day After Shoots are a great chance to have a relaxed portrait session with out worrying about getting the dress dirty or making it to the reception on time. You can also use multiple locations, like the barn, ranch and field that aren't available on the wedding day but fit your style or sentimental meaning to you as a couple.
Thanks to Jackie and K.C. for modeling, Scott and Lindsay for letting us tromp around on their land, and Big Daddy and Flash Fire for being the most photogenic horses ever! Casual country style hair and make-up was provided by the fabulous Kalle Martin and Kelcy Potts, and the beautiful flowers were provided by Bangs Flowers and Gifts.

Personal Projects: The Diggers

Today I wanted to share one of my personal fine art projects, titled "The Diggers". I think it is important for a creative professional to continue doing work solely for one's self not only because it stretches your creativity, but also because it allows you test out new techniques and concepts with people who are no paying you for absolute perfection.
Anyway, "The Diggers" is part of a series of pieces I am working on that tell a story, but exactly what that story is is entirely up to viewer. It is an exercise in imagination: Who are these people? What are they doing? Are they burying something? If so what? Are they digging something up? If so what? Who or what are they looking at? If they have been caught, what will they do next? What led up to this moment? Think about it and leave me a comment with your thoughts!
