family session . the jacques
this & that.
well it has been a crazy beautiful couple of weeks. i’m not one to get my hopes up for spring being around the corner, living in michigan and all, but the last 8 straight days of perfect sun and warm have sorta kept me from getting anything productive done. looks like we’ve got some rain on the way, so maybe it’s time to hunker down. that having been said…
for you folks here in grand rapids… i’m stoked to be a part of the GRunveiled bridal show coming up this thursday! aletha & joy’l are bringing together 35 of the most unique vendors in west michigan — all people making the wedding scene such a cool one to be a part of. if you (like myself) aren’t into the standard, cookie cutter, big box wedding shows, then this is the one for you! definitely come check it out — it’s only $5, so swing by my booth and say hey. and just to further entice you… my booth may or may not be right next to a gelato company. just sayin’ :)
GRunveiled has gotten some love from the press, too! check out a blurb in on the town as well as 3 mentions in the grand rapids press! pick up tuesday’s issue and you can see a few of my photos. maybe i’m a nerd but i’m pretty excited… i don’t think i’ve had my name in the paper since high school swim team :)
i took a quick trip to las vegas last weekend to get learned good with jaclyn & nate of the image is found. it was so bomb! they are incredible people and ridiculously talented photographers. here are a few snaps from my trip.
i had an awesome intern last summer and am stoked to say i’ve started the search for another one! if you are interested in helping me out and learning with me this summer, shoot me an email. it’s gonna be rad!
ok, enough randomness, go enjoy the sun :) while you’re at it, do yourself a favor and listen to mumford & sons. they’ll change your life!
clare benson
back in november, clare drove on down from northern michigan for a mentoring session. we had emailed back and forth a bit and when she asked if it was something i’d be interested in doing, i was stoked… i have been so blessed to learn from other photographers, so to get the chance to share a bit of the little wisdom i do have was really fun :) she is such a rad girl and so excited and passionate about photography… i love that. i can’t wait to see where her talents take her. she just launched her bomb new website today, so go check it out and show her some love!
wedding . caitlin + steve
a few months ago i got to shoot this wonderful wedding with paul carlson. every detail of caitlin & steve’s day was a beautiful, creative reflection of who they are. so glad i was able to help document their story.
the best camera.
the best camera is the one that’s with you. [ chase jarvis ]
for myself (and many others) this truth has, as of late, shown itself in the form of an iphone camera. sure, its capabilities are limited, and on a wedding day nothing can come between me & my 5dmkii… but any other day of the week, no matter the moment, my iphone is always there. i’ve been ridiculously inspired by jeremy edwards’ “from the pocket” project, and ever since i started following his tumblr, i’ve been trying to snap a little more of daily life with my good ole iphone. to just find beauty and wonder no matter where i go. that is, after all, why i fell in love with photography — the way it challenged me to see the world differently, to find the divine in the daily.
here’s a selection of some favorites from the past few months… apologies to my twitter followers who have probably seen a few of these already :) i’m a big fan of bestcam and lo-mob, but all of these were processed using shakeit.
let us come alive to the splendor that is all around us, and see the beauty in ordinary things. [ thomas merton ]
on a completely unrelated note — how BOMB is this song? can’t friggin get it out of my head.
