Wanda & Pam | Las Vegas

Last week I had the pleasure of partaking in one of my Signature Natural Light Portrait Sessions. My clients, mother/daughter, Wanda & Pam. Every time I shoot one of these sessions it's hard to narrow down that definitive portrait, but the one below just moved me.

As a photographer and a an avid fan of photography, when I see a portrait, a wedding shot, a fashion shot, a landscape, I want that image to move me. There should be a physiological change in my being, just like watching a good movie. It's that feeling that I continue to chase with every exposure.


I know photography is subjective, but I hope that my work conveys that feeling for some and especially my clients.

Pixel2Canvas and The Oliphant Natural Light Portrait

For Christmas my girlfriend and I decided to give a canvas wrap to our good friends Angie & Lety. You may have seen an earlier post of one of my signature Natural Light Portraits of them last year. Time was of the essence and the holiday rush was approaching. I scoured the internet and read several post from other photogs and decided on Pixel2Canvas. Let me tell you, not only was the customer service above and beyond what I expected but the product was second to none! Make sure you check out Roxanne over at Pixel2Canvas, absolutely the best in the business.

Farmville, Virginia

Yes, Farmville is a real place and I had the pleasure of spending Christmastime in this historic city. Just 60 miles southwest of Richmond, Farmville's got more history than my five day stint could handle. From the Civil War to Brown v. Board of Education, Farmville played a integral role in shaping our current landscape. Here are a couple of shots from my visit...



I'm not really sure if there is a connection to the town of Farmville and the Facebook game FarmVille, which I'm proud to say I do not play, but here's a look at Farmville's Main St. on Christmas night.
