Just must rave about one of my new photographer friends.  She’s awesome!  Ali Hohn is based in Minnesota and does some really amazing senior work … especially with flash, outside at the sweetest locations.  Not only does she know the ins and outs of flash, she shares it!  She recently hosted a little contest on her blog.  Winner received a discount on her new off-camera flash training book.  Wonders of all wonders, I won!!!  I’m so excited to soak up her juicy knowledge.   Her Rock That OCF blog has recently launched and will soon be filled with lots of details and images.  (Can’t wait!)  Thanks, Ali! 

Check out some of her super cool work:

I’m going to let the photos speak for themselves here.  Rachael is an amazingly beautiful aspiring model.  We went all out today.  Killer session!  

Had such a great time with these good people.  It was freezing cold, Mr. Bigglesworth, but they toughed it out and seemingly had a pretty fun time (or at least faked it really well ).  It was so great to meet you all!

p.s. CMU is the best!

Just another blog post featuring my own kid.  I’ve just converted to new gear and am in need of lots of practice.  He granted me 10 whole minutes of his day today.  I was thrilled!

Having great camera gear is becoming easier and more affordable each year.  Everyone’s a photographer these days, right?  I’d like to share a quote that a fellow photographer recently shared with me.  (great food for thought):
