Starting over is exciting.  I started my business more than 10 years ago, and it has continually evolved into something I feel is really great.  We consistently book more than a year in advance without paid advertising.  We have fun, we love our clients, and make a great living for ourselves. So, when we decided [...]

Hey everybody, It seems like a decade ago… because it was.  College was a fun time for me; I chewed up photo classes like daily vitamins, growing stronger with each one. My favorite college photography professor, Mike Gullett, told me something during one of our independent class sessions that I’ve never forgotten: “Every single session [...]

Hey everybody! I’m a professional plate spinner living in Fayetteville, Arkansas. You know, the people who have all these plates spinning on poles, running around like a crazy person keeping everything afloat, praying that it all doesn’t come crashing down.

In an effort to provide more relevant tools to today’s photographers, we will be expanding the scope of the blog in 2010.
