KISS Albums

Man, do I love simplicity.

KISS Albums allow exactly that. They’re simple, yet elegant. Uncluttered and clean. And I’m excited to have them as an option for my portrait and wedding clients.

Anyhow, my recent order arrived today. Here’s some album joy for you…

Quiet Recovery

I’ve been under the weather a few days now, and I’ve grown tired of sleeping and watching movies in an effort to recuperate. Heather has been awesome keeping me company even though she’s also been dealing with issues of her own. I’m glad we’re on the mend.

This morning I woke up bolt awake at 5 and rather than put in another movie, I bundled up and went out to the glacier to see what kind of animals I could find. Spending time outdoors and among animals carries a certain peace, almost a spiritual experience. In the past I’ve found porcupine, duck, birds & beavers, but today the only thing I saw was a couple ducks and a sow with three cubs. It was nice to spend time alone with some wildlife, though I’ll admit that going to a viewing area near the glacier isn’t as much of a spiritual experience as I’d like. If I could choose it, I’d simply be out on a hike and find a truly un-habituated creature unimpressed by my presence.

Anyhow, for your viewing pleasure, here’s my favorite image from the day…

Full Photo Weekend

Heather and I had a weekend full of photography. We had a wedding (with all the fixin’s), a photowalk, and an engagement session. Phew!

I think all told we (combined) took over 3500 photographs which I’ll whittle down to a more manageable 500+. Here’s some untouched sneaks (click for a larger view!): Continue reading

Anchorage Bound

It's booked!


We just scheduled a quick trip to Anchorage and the surrounding area for mid-August. I’ll be attending a meeting on Thursday for Big Brothers Big Sisters, but this time, rather than the up-and-back approach that I normally take, Heather is coming too! Yay!

We’ll get a chance to do some touristy type things in the area, visit friends and family, and most importantly stretch ourselves as we work towards expanding business in the area. I’m looking forward to it!

We fly up on Wednesday night (August 11th) and return on Saturday morning in time for the Juneau Beauty Experience at noon.

I’m looking forward to the mini-vacation and the opportunity to spend some quality time with my wife!

I'm not a makeup guy, but I always have fun learning at these things... call me strange if you will, but call me smart too: I know there's a lot of profit in Artistry! 😉
