Hailey's Comet

This shot is from a shoot with UTG agency. This girl's star is rising, be watching for her. A huge shout to Lacey Rachelle Timmerman for not only doing such great job but also being
so fabulous to work with.

To Edit or Not to Edit?

"I just want the files thanks. All the files, every freakin' one."
Really? Ok..here you are.

As a parent, I understand that but the

truth is if you don't pay much, you won't get much.
More and more photographers are offering hi-res files as part of their services. But 99% of photographers are not going to fine tune edit every image on a CD. It would just be way too time consuming. A good part of almost every image involves editing (brightening and sharpening the eyes, retouching the skin, color correction, etc) which means time. When you pay for a print, this is partly what you are paying for. I part with files quite reluctantly because I know that every shot I send out is a reflection of myself and what I put into my profession. Quite frankly, I'm just not interested in giving my clients anything but the best. I do offer packages with hi-res files where I do basic edits, but I also have the clients select their top favorites so I can make them look their absolute best. When you look good, I look good.

UTG Workshop

Here's the video from the UTG workshop from last week! I've had a few emails and I know you are all anxious to see it. Everyone in the workshop is fairly new to the agency and many new to the industry. As you can see, UTG has got some really fabulous talent. I am trilled with results! You guys should be proud of yourselves. We made a huge amount of progress in the two hour time frame! For anyone who is interested in purchasing their images from the workshop, please contact me directly. I will have them available only for the next two weeks (just so I don't get bogged down in too many pictures :).

Fabulous Faces

Here's just a sneak peak from a workshop I did last week for some of UTG's talent.

I had expected 10-15 people and we had 29 people show up. Yikes! Everyone was patient, and thanks to my oh-so-wonderful assistant, Karson, everything went very smoothly. Isn't he cute? If you see Karson, please tell him how cute he is. This will make him feel all warm and fuzzy and full of gratitude for to getting to haul around all my crap.

We got some great shots and it was a crazy fun experience.

Thanks everyone!

The Girls of UTG

This last Saturday Chad Milton of UTG Modeling Agency asked me to come in and do a mini surprise workshop for some of the younger girls. A thank you to Lacey who was on hand to do some touch up styling. We had a totally fabulous time. These shots are straight out of the camera, no touch ups. Don't the girls look great? That's a pat on the back for you Chad. Keep up the good work!
