Can you “still” make money in photography these days? Asking for a friend. And since so many seem to be asking this question. This much I know, yes. You can. We’re doing it in our studio. And we’re in Costa Rica for three months. Go figure. I believe a lot has to do with mindset […]
Neil Peart doesn’t need to put on a ‘show’…
Music saved me. When I was a young teen, troubled (you don’t wanna know, it was bad), lost, confused and into booze and drugs, one thing that gave my life meaning was music. Yes, rock and roll. It was fast, furious, raunchy and powerful. Like my brain at the time. It gave me some semblance […]
The Swiss Army Knife of photography studios….
I always said my photography studio was like a swiss army knife. A “multi-purpose” studio for lack of a better term. Instead of specializing in a major niche, I specialize in many niches. Families, fairies, babies, commercial, weddings, boudoir, ice fairies, medieval sessions, headshots, theatre photography, seniors and more….much more. And now pop-up weddings. (More […]
The #1 lie about quitting your dream…
This ever happen to you? You dream of walking to a bridge, and chucking it all overboard, into the flowing torrent of water below? You know, a box full of cameras, lenses and dreams. Poof! Gone…. What a relief it would be. Get rid of the whole fucking mess. You imagine what a relief it […]

For example, two recent scenarios from our studio and one from another studio who shall remain nameless. “Can I come over take a cell phone picture […]
What to do when people simply don’t want to have a family portrait taken?
I noticed a trend these days. And it’s not good. It appears many folks don’t want and don’t have much patience for family portraits. Adults seem to hate having their picture taken. Even when with their families. I could be wrong, but I think I’m mostly right. Priorities are changing. Cell phones are ruining us […]
Why stealing is essential to your success…
My first decade in the business of photography saw me in awe of others who, in my mind, had made it in photography. Heroes they were. They were successful. They created amazing images. To be fair I am still in awe, but those formative years were essential since I was getting established and building. Some […]
One of my favorite all time best seminars…
One of my favorite all time best seminars I personally experienced, first hand, like watching a master of masters in action, was way back when I organized a speaking gig with Al Gilbert. Al did a live demo on how he shoots, poses, lights and controls a session. He somehow he had contacted our city […]
