Lots of learning to do...

The month of March is full of networking and learning opportunities for me.
This pasted Monday, our SONOPP's group met at Jerry Bruno Productions, for an open forum on how Photographers and DJ's/Bands can work seamlessly together to make a wedding even better for our clients.

Jerry Bruno Productions, is an amazing place.  If you are looking for a DJ or a 1 piece to a 20 piece Orchestra these are the guys to call, they can arrange any type of music you need for your special event.

This Sunday, I leave for a week long seminar at the Annual Triangle Institute of Professional Photography, in Pittsburgh, PA.  I will be learning from one of the best Senior Photographers in Ohio, Larry Peters.  It will be an honor to meet him, I cannot wait!

I will arrive home Saturday, and than on Sunday be off again!  This time to North Carolina to train with Blair Phillips.  This is going to be an amazing two days, jam packed, with lighting, posing, marketing, post production and more for the High School Senior market.

The day I get back to OH, I will stop in Columbus, OH, to see "The Power of Passion" tour, with Sandy Puc and Jerry Ghionis.  Two of the most amazing photographers!!  Sandy specializes in children and family photography.  Jerry specializes in wedding photography.  I have had the opportunity to meet Sandy for three other seminars, which were all fantastic.  This one will be just as amazing, I am so excited!!

When I finally arrive home, I will be ready to do some shooting, so all you High School Seniors, Families and Brides-to-be, give me a call and we will schedule your session!!

Wishing you the best of everything!

Michael Steinberg Photography

I absolutely love being a part of the SONNOP's group.  Not only are there wonderful members, who are willing to answer my millions of questions. But our President, Patrick Rice, owner of Rice Photography, finds the most amazing speakers!
This pasted Monday I had the opportunity to meet Micheal Steinberg, owner of Micheal Steinberg Photography, a very amazing and talented photographer!
Oh, the information he shared was incredible!  Now I have lots to play with for my next wedding! 

Micheal, thank you for all the lighting information and for answering all the questions the group tossed your way!

Wishing you the best of everything!

One Eyed, One Horned, Flying Purple People Eater...

So today's adventure was me out on the town riding my new bicycle.
My new toy is purple and for some reason I started singing the song "One Eyed, One Horned, Flying Purple People Eater", as I was pedaling through the neighborhood.   I definately have two eyes, no horn, I was not flying (going pretty slow actually) and there was no people eating involved. But my bike is purple, so for some reason I though this song fit as my bicycling adventure theme song.  I know this seems insane, but I truly enjoyed riding in the glorious sunshine singing my theme song.

A hugh shout out to Nate for my wonderful present!

Wesley & Zahra - Super Cuteness!

Ok - could these pictures be any cuter!?!
Wesley received Zahra as a present for Valentine's Day (I am extremely jealous, I have never received a super cute puppy for Valentine's Day!)  Wesley is only 10 months old and now has a fabulous lab to grow up with, I cannot wait to watch both Wesley and Zahra grow up together.  Hopefully, Mom and Dad will continue to bring Zahra to Wesley's photo sessions!!

The Sandusky Community Church of the Nazarene - Our Church

For years I have taken the pictures of all the baptism's at our church, The Sandusky Community Church of the Nazarene.  This is an incredible honor for me, I am able to use the skills God has given me to capture one of the most important times in a person's life.  It is amazing to watch and I am so blessed with the priveledge of capturing this moment for our church family.  This passed Sunday, six of our church family members were baptized.  Amen!

I have attached the pictures of Grant's baptism.  These pictures amaze me every time I look at them!
