Lauren and Tim \\ Save The Date

For the longest time, Lauren and Tim and I had to keep rescheduling this shoot.

"Let's do it this Sunday."

"Hey Lauren, I can't go today."

"Oh hey Jake, Tim is sick today so let's reschedule."

One thing after another... We finally just buckled down and got it down! We had a great time in Downtown Lynchburg. We tossed around a ton of ideas and basically just went at it. I had a bag of miscellaneous props and things in my trunk. We definitely put those to good use.

Lauren and Tim asked me to shoot their wedding while we were taking their "Save the Date" pictures. I gladly accepted. These two are some of the funnest and funniest people I know. I'm excited to see them get married and go on with their lives.

Thanks for such a great time, Lauren and Tim! I can't wait to shoot your wedding.

ABOVE: Lauren got this idea to use the chalk on the brick wall. These pics turned out great!

BELOW: Ok, please allow me to preface the following pictures. Like I said before, I had a bag of miscellaneous objects, like these masks, in my trunk. Lauren and Tim were good sports and put the masks on. These are the results.

BELOW: I tried to make it look like we used the chalk to write SAVE THE DATE 5.16.10 on the road. Would've been awesome if we could've really done it!

BELOW: I brought along some window paint to put this idea into action. Once I perfect it, it might end up being a staple photo.

BELOW: Lauren loved the idea of a photo booth strip. We had a blast taking these pictures. I made like a real photo booth. Giving them 3 seconds between each picture to grab the next sign and pose. Honestly, it was hilarious to watch.

Some Macro Shots \\ Personal

I was kind of bored last night so I decided to put on my macro attachment and shoot some pics. I looked around my room and picked a few miscellaneous subjects and went at it.

Carmen and Sarah \\ Portrait

Carmen and Sarah are hoping to be extras in the final Twilight movie and they asked me to take some head shots for them. After postponing and postponing, we final got the time to go shoot.






Above: This is my favorite of Sarah. Her eyes were crazy blue!

Blogger Pics \\ Portrait

As you may know, I work for University Advancement as a writer and blogger. We recently hired basically a completely new roster of bloggers and I had the opportunity to take their pictures for the website. Our boss, Carmen, suggested we have a little more fun with the pictures this year. We decided that we would have each blogger holding a polaroid of themselves. The polaroid would be a funny or crazy picture, basically whatever they wanted to do. The picture turned out really great! Check them out.





I realize that I am the only male blogger. We couldn't find any male writers that could match the greatness that is Rory Tyer (former LU male blogger.)

We had a ton of fun with these pictures. Hope you enjoy them!
