Portraits of a Teenager

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

I was digging through some of my old 2004 archives and came across these portraits of L. Although my portrait photography has matured over the years, I still love the lighting and expressions on this young teenager (and his pet dog). Here are just two photographs from his session.

Clive Cussler Portrait Published on Novel The Chase

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Today I discovered that one of my portraits of New York Times bestselling author Clive Cussler was selected to grace the back cover of his latest novel–The Chase. As a portrait photographer, I’m extremely honored that G. P. Putnam and Sons selected this portrait. I should also mention that since I’m a huge fan of Clive Cussler and his Dirk PittĀ® novels, I was thrilled to see my photograph appear on the rear of this dust jacket. As an added bonus, I’m also including a portrait I took of Clive sitting at his desk in his home office in November of 2004.

Neptune Family Portraits

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Renee first called me to ask if I would be able to view a photograph of her great grandmother and grandmother and reproduce it in a similar fashion adding my own unique style. Renee’s daughter is wearing the same dress seen in this original photograph! And since everyone was already in studio, I also took a few additional photos as a bit of fun. I’m also posting the original photo so you can get a better sense of my vision.

Theme Dolls

Much of the art from Friedericy Dolls is based on whimsical views of characters from children’s literature. If you take a look at the doll photography below, you might notice some references to Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty! Check out these great samples from one of my best clients.
