I've always been a fan of constant lighting. Now that we can get LED light panels with adjustable color temperatures, I like it even more. I've been looking for some inexpensive LED panels for awhile, and of course Neewer came through. If you've never owned Neewer equipment, it's worth taking a look at. They're "good...

Kayla – September 2019
This Portland trip has been busier than most, but Kayla and I managed to carve out a couple hours for a quick shoot. It was a gorgeous day in Portland, so the window light was perfect. There's something to be said for working with the same models for years. We are able to spend less... Continue Reading →
Octoberfest
There’s a great little brewery down under the St. John’s bridge called Occidental. Across the courtyard from it is an awesome wursthaus by the name of Urban German. They put on a perfectly-sized Octoberfest. There are just enough people to make it a party without being so packed you can’t walk around.
Arts Fest Montana 2019
Great Falls can sometimes feel a little… behind. Culturally. Don’t get me wrong—I love this town, but it needs a little something. We’re starting to get some awesome local restaurants, and this past weekend, I watched several artists paint amazing murals on buildings downtown. My buddy owns Speaking Socially, so I spent most of my... Continue Reading →
More Backyard Critters
I’ve been working on the yard quite a bit lately, so I keep a camera handy just in case. There’s nothing exotic out there, but it’s a great way to spend an evening.
Widow
For whatever reason, I've always been terrified of spiders. There are exceptions, (I'll let a tarantula crawl all over my arm,) but for the most part, I avoid them like the plague. I recently drove my mom and I to a little mini family reunion, and was reminded of the fact that when I was... Continue Reading →
A Drive to American Bar
When my dad suggested driving out to American Bar for Father's Day this year, I was all for it. I'm always down to check out a new bar. What I didn't realize is that American Bar he was referring to isn't a bar at all. It's a sub-development on the eastern shore of Upper Holter... Continue Reading →
Mornings
One thing I love about summer is the early sunrises. I tend to wake up whenever sunlight starts streaming through my window, so in the summer I tend to wake up early. The older I get, the more I enjoy waking up early. The other day, I woke up at 5:45 am. Wide awake. No... Continue Reading →
Some Sunsets Don’t Work
I put the bird in the air tonight, hoping to catch an epic sunset. Sadly, the sunset fizzled out with barely any color. I still got a great aerial view of Ulm, MT. I really like the top down shot of the gas station. Now that the weather is better, expect more aerial shots…
Almost Summer in the Backyard
After a brutal February and a chilly spring, summer weather is finally starting to show up. I spent about an hour in the back yard with a beer and the big lens trying to capture all the birds. Of course, they were all over the fence before I brought the camera out. But once the... Continue Reading →
Sanford Park Campground, and a little camper history
There's a running joke amongst my friends. I buy campers, sit on them for a bit, then sell them again without even using them once. The last three were like that. I don't think the Ram van was my fault, though. The first time I loaded it up to go camping, it wouldn't start. At... Continue Reading →
Quick Shoot with Lisa
We had talked about doing a shoot almost two years ago, but hadn't actually had the opportunity until recently. Lisa is an awesome person with no modeling experience, but she still made my job easy. We wandered around the Ulm area, then headed up to the First Peoples' Buffalo Jump. It was great to finally... Continue Reading →
