  • Welcome to my blog!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am a photographer located near St. Louis who travels to Chicago often. I absolutely love taking pictures and capturing those moments that my customers will cherish for years to come. I pretty much love photographing scenes as they unfold not as they are posed. With that in mind I try to take photographs that are as natural looking as possible. I photograph all sorts of things, but focus on weddings, portraits & children. I have also done some fashion photography.

  • whats up now

    So I have the blog looking pretty much like I want it to. I still have some weddings and engagements to 'blog' about and add.
    8/21 - So I have lots of previews up at the moment... and that means I have lots of pictures to catch up on! School just started so that has slowed me down a bit and I am having a bit of pain in my wrist that was so bad I could hardly type last week! But alas I am going to back to work here. I had a spectular engagement shoot today out on a huge farm! I have a very busy fall coming up so keep an eye out for lots of updates.
    8/28 - So this is the time of the year I have to learn how to balance two careers at one time. Generally my sleep becomes the big loser! But I am loving everything I do. I am shooting more this fall than I have ever shot in one season before and I am really looking forward to capturing a ton of great memories!
    The new web siteis live but still under construction!

  • What I’m listening to now

    I-tunes as usual.

    Lots of ATB. Check him out on I-tunes. His album Addicted to Music has some amazing tunes on it. Sunset Girl is one of the sweetest tunes of all time on my list! I Will Not Forget and Gently Meldody off that album are super cool as well. AlsoI have the entire Trilogy album.

Ashley

So this has been a busy summer for me.  I have been all over the East Coast and doing a lot of shooting.  On my most recent trip to Chicago I a shoot with Ashley.  Once again I find Chicago to provide an endless amount of inspiration.

 

Carly T. – Unique Models

Thanks to Escalante (http://www.escalantephotography.com/) and his creative team for wardobe and makeup on Carly.   I had a great time shooting with Carly who is full of energy and even laughed at my jokes.  That is something I really cherish!

EliAnna M. – Ford Chicago

 I had the chance to shoot in a studio while in Chicago, something I had not done in a while. Credit goes to  Escalante (http://www.escalantephotography.com/) and his creative team for wardobe and makeup.   It was an absolute pleasure to get a chance to work with EliAnna who is simple a stunning model. 

Jessica Trainham

While I was in South Beach Miami I had the pleasure to shoot with Jessica.  She has been a cheerleader for the Tampa Bay Buccaners and the Atlanta Falcons and she has been in the Sports Illustrated NFL issue.  We had a blast shooting these shots on the ocean and Collins Street in South Beach.

Very nice, Brian. These are great shots, and she is breathtaking. Beautiful smile.

Florida

So I took the longest road trip of my life, over 2.700 miles!  On the way down to Florida I drove about 900 miles in one day with no sleep!  This was my first trip to the South and to a warm water beach.  I am now wondering why I even came back!

Amber Time Again

It was blazing hot but Amber amd I braved the heat to capture some amazing shots today!
