Timothy Miller contacted me recently about setting up a photo shoot to showcase a couple of his hand-crafted guitars. Tim creates guitars for Hooters restaurants and Cooters Place, a Dukes of Hazard themed store in Nashville, TN. Tim liked the work I did with various models and asked if I would be interested in setting...
I recently purchased some body paint for a shoot with Michelle Paquette but, unfortunately, she had to cancel so instead I decided to try my hand at painting with Amy Sevenski. Amy and I started at Joanne Fabrics in Traverse City. Neither one of us knew how to buy fabric or even what to look...
Spending time on the beach in Northern Michigan is like a vacation to a tropical paradise. The only thing missing is the palm trees. I had a photo shot with Megan Dunn who contacted me for images to put into her modeling portfolio. Shooting on the beach offer special challenges to the photographer. First there...
Michelle Paquette is looking lovely and glamorous in her first boudoir session. In this shot we used a subdued lighting scheme to create the feeling of mystery and romance. We met at Turtle Creek Casino and Resort in Traverse City Michigan. I am not sure if this is classic boudoir but we had fun shooting.

Terry was using a couple 580EX II flashes with battery packs attached. The lights were set up on light stands and he...
I wrote in an earlier blog that Bruce Dale visited one of my workshops last summer. He wrote about his Traverse City adventures in December’s issue of the Digital Photo Magazine. He mentioned me in that article so I sent him a copy of the magazine and asked if he could autograph it for me....

I’m not done editing all the photographs yet but I thought I’d share a few. Courtney McCatty and I have known each other for quite a while. She’s been...
Jumping at several small opportunities may get us there more quickly than waiting for one big one to come along. ~Hugh Allen Meg Howard and I were planning to shoot together for several weeks but for one reason or another we weren’t able to put it together. Well, this past Tuesday things seemed to fall...
You may remember Amy Sevenski from my post about our workshop held at the barns of the former state hospital in Traverse City. I wanted to try a new photo technique so I asked Amy if she’d like to help by modeling for me. She was happy to oblige. I picked Amy up after she...
I am in Traverse City these days and have been hosting free photography workshops with the help of my good friend Bevin Buchler. Our last workshop was held at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The idea for that workshop was to do a sunset shoot using models so that people could practice lighting in...
