Metropolitan Imageworks

It only took me 6 months to meet little Caelan but it was totally worth the wait! He is definitely a little charmer.  And his little guy giggles melted my heart from the get go.  Big sis’ Ashlyn is now three-and a half years old, and to think I photographed her every three months since she was a teeny, tiny newborn and now she is a little lady and so polite! She is a big help with her little bro and waited patiently for her turn in front of the camera and even played for a bit in her room while we did yet another costume change for Cael and some more solo shots of him.  Princess Aly even made an appearance and I didn’t mind being one of her subjects as she waved her wand and turned me into a puppy! Even better was walking into different rooms in their home and seeing amazing photo displays filled with framed images I have captured over the years, reminding me again what a very important job I have!

I like to kick-off my Midwest wedding season by overhauling the images on the website.  I spend an entire day (or two or three) culling images from the previous wedding and portrait season and put them up on the website in all their glory.  This is my showcase. This is my work. This is my style. And whew, it’s not an easy job trying to narrow down the selections because, after all, it’s ALL fabulous work!!!  Seriously, I spent an entire afternoon going through my sent mail and copying the Teaser images I had emailed after every portrait session.  Once that was done, I opened the folder to where I had copied the images and found 350+ waiting for me.  Oops, only room for about 40-50 in the portrait gallery and from there I had to pick and choose.  No offense to any client who was replaced this round, there will be room for more new images in a few more months.

So how do you decide?  Most importantly I want to show the variety – weddings, portraits and commercial work. From there I want to show different lighting, indoor and outdoor portraits, black and white images, color images. For the wedding images I want to be sure to show action, emotion and detail. I want to show a variety of wedding images that take you through the day and also show the multitude of weddings, venues and couples I have the pleasure of photographing.
