If you'd like to contact me, please feel free to ask any question that you need.  I'd be more than happy to talk with you, and hope that I can help you find an answer to what's on your mind.

Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy your visit!

Amy and Scott are engaged!

I wanted to share a few images from Amy and Scott’s engagement photo shoot, as they were a great couple and were willing to go to Point Pelee for their engagement photo shoot.

We had a lot of fun along the beach, and got a lot of really cool and artistic photos. I’m in the process of making an engagement album for them, and will be posting that soon as well. In the meantime, here’s a few images from the engagement shoot. Thanks again you two for a great engagement shoot!

Photo Retouching for a great ZZTop Fan!

A while ago I got a unique inquiry via e-mail from a great person. Dave has been a huge ZZtop fan since the 1970′s, and when he heard that they were coming to Windsor’s WFCU center, he bought backstage passes for himself and his wife, which included an opportunity to meet the band and have photographs taken with them.

Dave asked me if I could enlarge his photo, and put it in a memorable frame for him, as it was a once in a lifetime experience. I didn’t have a problem with this, but once I saw the photo he gave me, I knew this was going to be a bit of a challenge.

After many hours or tinkering, I finally got the photo to what I thought should be a well captured memory. This included lots of retouching in photo shop, and also making the photo larger than it’s original size.

Here’s a before and after image:

Thanks goes out to Dave for contacting me about this, and it was great to meet you and chat! Hope that the memory will serve you for a long time to come! Take care.

Musician Steve Hereford

Hello all. A while ago I worked with a great musician, Steve Hereford. He has his own music project set up, and pays tribute to a lot of the classic musicians, such as Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Paige, and others.

We rented out the Korda Zone theater to simulate the feel of a real stage show for this shoot, and had Steve playing guitar and singing along to his tunes the whole time.

Thanks to Steve for being a great sport about this shoot, and best of luck in the future for success!!!

NICU Golf Tournament Photos

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing a great golf tournament. I thank Todd Small from Community Chiropractic Center for inviting me out to this event, and to all the golfers who all shot a great game!

Take care.

Iaido Cutting Practice

As some of you may know, I’m just as big of an enthusiast about martial arts as I am about photography. Recently I had the opportunity to attend a Tamashigiri (sword cutting practice) with a group of Iaido practicioners.

There was many great photos taken this day, including cutting of two liter bottles filled with water, cutting of wara (rolled straw mats), and I got a really nice group photo at the end.

Thanks to Kevin Blok Kyoshi for inviting me to attend this, and a great thanks to all who participated for not dismembering me in any way! OSU!

Windsor Models Photo Shoot

Hi everyone. I’ve been keeping busy these last few weeks with new photos and new photosho techniques, and I finally have a few images to share.

I did this shoot about 2 weeks ago, and I’m happy to say that out of all the modeling shoots I’ve done, this one has definitely challenged me! After going through a few tutorials I’ve aquired, I tried new lighting setups, new photoshop processes, plus a few other new things. Through all the challenge, I’m very happy with the results I’m getting!

Keep an eye out as I’ll be posting more models as time goes on. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Take care!

P.S. Special thanks goes out to Jaclyn’s Esthetics for doing all the makeup for this shoot. If you’d like to find out more about Jaclyn’s Esthetics, please go to the following link: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=380360750400&ref=ts

Here’s a few quick photos from Allison and Shawn’s engagement shoot. I had a great time with them down by the Detroit River, but didn’t really dress for the weather! It always looks warm out when the sun is out these days…

Feel free to leave comments. Congratulations to Allison and Shawn, and have a great wedding in Michigan this summer!
