recreate the magic of film...

Hey, all... If you're ever looking for ways to add more character to your photos, through an old friend we've discovered a great place to start: Check out CameraBag. It started out as a cool, inexpensive iPhone app, and now it's available for your PC and/or Mac as well.

Best of all: it's one-touch photo editing!

Note: All four photos were shot @ the Jarvis-Ocampo wedding reception and processed in CameraBag.

congrats, ben and britney

Best wishes to newlyweds Britney and Ben Ocampo, married Jan. 9 in the STL! Here's a preview of some of the images captured on their big day ... Photographing this young couple was a blast; every married couple deserves a reception as fun as theirs! (UPDATE! See a video/slide show of Ben and Britney's big day HERE.)





Special thanks go out to the Drury Plaza Hotel and the Marriott STL West: Your employees bent over backwards to accomodate our shoot and make us feel at home.

the next big thing

Talk about a funny little guy, this little man was a riot to watch and photograph. Mom and Dad said he'd been having a bad day up until this point, but you certainly would never have known it from his smiles!

[Mostly shot with Canon 70-200 f/4 with three Alien Bees lighting the room.]

delayed reaction

Title translation: it's been a little too long since the last post. And, you know, that seems to be a growing theme on the other blogs we follow. There have been lots of, "I promise to be better"s and "Sorry--no excuse"s ... Here we are saying the same. But we're back with a promise of at least three posts this week, starting with Baby G, born New Year's Day! Welcome to the world, little man; sorry it's so cold here in St. Louis -- Promise it's not always like this :)

winter at the St. Louis LDS temple

I was on the drive home from Kirkwood the other day and came across a really cool sky to the northeast of the St. Louis Temple in Town and Country. Half of the adventure was scrambling across traffic to reach the outer road in time before the sun set, which I knew would happen at any moment, not to mention the possibility of the clouds shifting completely out of the scene...

Time of photo: 4:30 p.m. Lens: Canon 17-40mm f/4 L, zoomed to 29 mm, f/11. Approx. 1/60 second exposure. Camera: Canon 5D.
