Canon G10 for fun

I picked up a Canon Powershot G10 a couple days ago, and I love carrying what amounts to a rangefider/point & shoot - perfect street camera and personal/family camera on those days where hauling big gear just isn't in the cards. Totally shocked with the output of the G10, I've heard only the best things about it and it certainly lives up to its reviews. It is not in anyway a replacement for the larger SLRs, but works great for being compact, 100percent controllable and awesome all around. For the shot of Gabe and I, I put a 580exII in the hotshoe of the G10 and aimed it up at the ceiling - iso 80 with fantastic results.

Happy Anniversary to the Wife of My Life!

To the girl of my dreams, the wife of my life, the calada of my eye, Happy Anniversary! 10 years of togetherness and 4 years of married life goes by so fast, and I cherish every moment. You are the most beautiful, caring, and loving woman I know. I'm so thankful for you babes - You pick me up when I'm down, you love unconditionally, you have more caring in you for our family and the children you see every day than is humanly possible, and for all of these things and many others I love you more than anything I could ever write in any amount of space. You are the sunshine of my life, and I love you.

Ashlynn & Jackson

Ashlynn and Jackson were married at Norfolk Botanical Gardens in May. I had such a great time through all the sessions and through your beautiful wedding day. Take care of that red-haired little guy. I look forward to creating your album.

Choosing the Right Wedding Photographer

Friend and colleague, Grant Perry, of Grant Deb Photographers in Newport News, VA wrote a killer article about how to make sure your wedding photographer is right for you, and how to go about choosing the person who will ultimately record your awesome wedding day. It definitely shouldn't be all about price, nor should it be all about the photographer's work - obviously the work needs to be top notch (and both Grant and Deb have it hooked up in the skills department) - It should be about the connection you have with the photog and the passion and energy they have for creating dope images for you...
