Plank for Township Clerk

Yesterday I had the opportunity to shoot some campaign photos for Jeremy Plank. Jeremy is a new comer to the local politics here in town and our township. Jeremy will bring humility, efficiency, accountability, and responsiveness to the Wood River Township clerk position if elected April 7. You can read all about Jeremy's platform at his website - http://www.plank4woodrivertownshipclerk.com. Here are a few photos from the shoot.




Thanks Jeremy and good luck in with your campaign!

New Equipment

This weekend I acquired some new equipment. I was able to get a 35mm f2.0 lens with the hood and a battery grip for my camera. I actually used all the new equipment on a photo shoot. The 35mm has become my new portrait lens. I also love the fact that I have twice the battery life with my new battery grip because the grip houses two lithium ion batteries. Here are some photos of my new equipment.

The Mann Family

Last week I had the opportunity to do a "top secret" shoot the Mann Family. Rick, the father, called me and ask me to come do a session with his daughters. They were going to surprise mom, Donna, with a gift for her birthday. This shoot was so much fun! Susanna, Samantha, and Alissa where a blast to work with and were naturals for the camera. I talked to Donna after her birthday and she was so surprised at the photos and just loved them. I hope you all enjoy them as much as this family did!
