Travis and Kira

Visalia dad, Travis and daughter Kira were a lot of fun in this session. We shot in a pink dress and then her play clothes. Here are some shots from the session in her play clothes.
Portrait Session with Sunni
Jan 10th
This was the second time I shot with Sunni and again, I had a blast. These images are a great example of the style you will see in my SnapRiot sessions and it was a great chance to see how much I am going to like my new SnapRiot photo sessions.
Sunni and I started on Main Street and just shot by the red door I love so much, it is a good comfort spot to develop a camera relationship to who I am photographing. Most people are ready to go before I am, I usually study someone for the first 5-6 shots and then let loose. Sunni was easy to warm up to, I think the first shot was one of the best as was the last. That’s a great session.

Free Texture Tuesday: Paint Splatter
Aug 4th
Today’s free texture is called paint splatter and unlike the last few, this one is not created from a photograph and was created in Photoshop. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Here is an image with the overlay layer style applied and dimmed a little. Feel free to contact me for more information on getting textures. I can also custom make texture sets for those interested.

Free Texture Tuesday: Stitched Glass Swirl
Jul 28th
While walking around in Visalia, I sometimes spot unique designs. I prefer to walk around in the historical sections of town because there are unique designs and old architecture. As a photographer in Visalia, I don’t normally use textures in my wedding, portrait and commercial photography but sometimes something comes up where it can really advance the image.
Here is a piece of glass that almost has a stitched effect in it and swirl patterns. Here is the texture:

Free Texture Tuesday | Fibers
Jul 21st
This Tuesday for our free photoshop texture we have our fibers textures. The way I use this texture is to create a fiber or almost gallery wrap-like effect. It is great to make formal images look more classic with that textured look you would find on a gallery wrap up close.

The image below was made by placing the image over one of my beautiful brides, Dana. All I did was made it an overlay layer. Then, I went and erased the fiber layer off her face and parts of her arm. My eraser was at 20% opacity and 70% fill as I worked to give it a more organic transfer to areas covered by the texture on the image. I like to avoid textures on skin for the most part. Dana was the bride for a great destination wedding that I shot in May.
