Every so often we put together these photo collages. I’m not really sure if it’s called a collage but for the sake of this post it is, lol. Anyway, here is one for the our last shoot and we just thought you all might mike to take a gander at it.

So we had a very busy weekend this past Labor day weekend and had several Seniors to shoot. Jack was one of our Seniors who also happened to be the brother of Claire whom we shot two years ago! Pretty awesome to get families that come back to us for their photos.

Anyway, Jack attends Discovery Canyon and was quite an interesting guy to hang out with. We had a good time messing around and getting some great shots. Hope you like them Jack!

We are falling behind in our blogging!!! Sorry for that, we have been super busy trying to plan out our new year and working on our new website which we hope to have up and running in the next week. We are very excited for this year and can’t wait to roll out some new promotions for everyone to see.

Anyway, I wanted to catch up on some photo stuff that we’ve been working on. We got the chance to work with one of our favorite models and good friend, Lauren. She is so much fun to work with and such a wonderful person, we could easily spend hours shooting her. Anyway, she was nice enough to help us with some new lighting attempts and here are some of the results. Oh, and I’m trying a new border as well, so feel free to let us know what you think.

Today Judah and I had a photo shoot with Gentry for his senior portraits…He has such a good personality, it was pretty easy to get some great shots. Judah and I both took some pictures and our ‘eye’ so to speak is so different and our editing is just about as different so I’m going to let him edit his and post them and here are the pictures I took and my edits. I can’t wait to see what Judah does with his pictures! We shot today from 4:15-5 and it was crazy fun lighting because we had the sunset for about 15 minutes then Judah got there and added some additional lighting!

For Down Syndrome Awareness month I am photographing for families that have kids with DS…It’s been intriguing and amazing to say the least! I love these kids and would someday like to specialize in kids with special needs…since it is my passion!

Nick is a senior this year and is so charming I could hardly stand it…and Noah well he’s just stinking adorable in every aspect of that word!

We had the distinct privilege of shooting the AIM first annual recital! it was a ton of fun and the event went off without any major glitches. Big thanks goes out to Tami and Jeni over at AIM for putting together a wonderful show and a great studio! Thanks guys. Everyone should check them out at http://www.aim-performingarts.com/

Also, for all the dancers and parents, we are uploading all of the pictures over the next 24 hours and they will be viewable and purchasable at http://photosbyjcm.com/proofs . If you have any questions feel free to shoot us an email at info@photosbyjcm.com .

We did a wonderful photoshoot with the dancers and teachers at Artistry in Motion dance studio last evening.  We had a blast with Tami and Jeni, the studio owners, and all the dance students who came out after hours to shoot for the studio. Many of these shots will end up as wall art for the studio.

We are also trying out a new way to display photos on our site using a slideshow. So, let us know what you think of it since it’s new to us and you.

I recently decided I needed to start a personal project for personal reasons. I decided on the doing a white on white project. The project will entail shooting various people, wearing white, against a white backdrop. Many people do not realize how difficult it can be to shoot white against white and I recently had the privilege of reading a wonderful blog by Zach Arias that covered shooting against white seamless.

Anyway, here are the first couple of shots of my lovely wife. Let me know what you think!
