The Bridge...

It's been a while since I have blogged - been keeping busy!
Above is a shot that I took when I was recently visiting Austin.  I saw all of these kids standing on this bridge and thought it would make a neat silhouette shoot.  What do you think?  Leave me a comment and let me know!

Wedding - Dennis & Susan

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Dennis and Susan with the assistance of Brian from Envision Photography Inc. The bride and groom were a pleasure to work with and the entire day was great! Below are my favorites from the day - I did not include any of his shots, as I figured he would probably post some on his site/blog at some point!
Enjoy!

P.S. During the service, I had a chance to talk and hang-out with the DJ, who proved to be both an excellent DJ and a real professional. If you have a few moments, check out his website, DoctorDJ.com

Urban Shots...

We met up with Brian, a good friend of mine today at a down-town location that was a "run-down urban" area that is on the upward slant. I went for a hard-gritty processing of these images because of this. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Spring has Sprung :)

I have no clue why, but since these dandelions have started popping up everywhere, I have been dying to take some photos of them. Today, I had the pleasure of enjoying a spring day with my wife and lil' one, and I took the opportunity - enjoy! (The first one is one of my all time favorites now)

Saturday wth Friends

After some morning meetings for work, we met up with some friends for a fun afternoon at a local outdoor mall. We had a great time!

I love the post-processing on this one in particular...

My New Project

This is my most recent project featuring my lil' J. These feature frames from 5 second frames that I have been interested in for a long time. Basically, these frames have pre-cut back mounts that allow you to have quick access to the matted area, so you can quickly change out photos w/o having to open the frame and change it out. Check out the link for better explanation.

Out in the Snow...

It started snowing, so we decided to take the little one out into the snow. She cried initially, but then she laughed and loved it!

Photography Meet-up

A small group of us involved with a local photography club had a chance to meet-up at a local park and enjoy the afternoon. It turned cold really quickly, so our time got cut short!
Here are my favorites of the event - Enjoy!

Lil' J in the Park -

Yet another wonderful day, so we took our little girl out to the park (again!). In a departure from my usual photographic style, I used only one lens today (Fixed 50mm, F1.8). Here are my favorites from the afternoon. Enjoy!

Model Photography

I had the distinct honor of attending a meeting this weekend, organized by a local photography club. The members were amazing in their ability to share ideas/visions and suggestions for lighting setups and composition techniques. The models and subjects for the day were from various backgrounds and had different reasons for needing photos (muscians, senior portraits,etc), but were all extremely social. The coordinator of the event, Jim (Link to be added once his new website is up) was particularly excellent at teaching and illustrating photographic tricks - I appreciate his work in setting this event up! Here are my favorite shots from the day - Enjoy!
-JM

I have been out for the last couple of days with an illness and have just set foot back into the real world today. When I got home, my two beautiful girls were already outside - it was so nice outside! So, I grabbed the camera :)
Enjoy!
