Hard to tell from the photo, but things are coming together in the studio space. I put down carpet on the camera floor mostly to kill some of the echo, but that white floor was acting like a bounce reflector. Next week, the floor will get a coat of 18% gray and the walls are going white before one side gets a checkerboard of acoustic panels.

The first clients in the new studio space are the children of a client from the original studio space…16 years ago.

This is your sign to grab your bestie and go make cute pictures…by me.

Don’t get it in your head that flash portrait photography is my only jam.
Flash would have ruined this whimsical moment.

Let there be light! The studio had one lonely little dim bulb to light all 900 of its square feet. Even with the light on, the bats were running into each other. I installed two more LED lights at the front and back of the space. They’re bright enough to light the space, but even with all 3 lights on, I can still get a fully black frame with my camera shutter set at my sync speed and aperture wide open at 1.4
For those of y’all that aren’t photography or physics nerds, that means the overhead lights have no influence on the photos made in the studio.
Now I can see well enough to start painting and laying the new flooring.

Moved the last of the gear out of the garage today. Brass & Glass Studio is open — a real studio, real lights, room to work. Portraits the way I make them: slow, deliberate, classic. Booking now. Link in bio.

Officially my fastest session to date. This series of photos were captured in less than 5 minutes. I was chasing after the backlit grasses as the sun was setting, but being so used to sunset beach sessions, I didn’t account for the tree line blocking the sunlight before actual sunset. I got exactly one frame of backlit grasses no worries, I shifted and used the sun itself to add intensity to this couple’s intimate moment.
