Aveneu Magazine!

In my last post, I let you all know of a project that Erin and I have been working on. AVENEU MAGAZINE! We are so excited to finally have everything done, the first issue launched and out for people to see! So I thought I would take a moment to post some of the work that I did for the first issue.

I had a lot of fun working on this, because I was able to do some things that I have not done before. The first spread I shot was a beauty look accented with candy! We had some great stylists and make up artists helping us. I hope we can come together on more shoots in the future. The second spread I shot was a straight forward fashion look. We dressed the model in all black and white, and shot in front of a red backdrop. Love the look and feel to these!

Hope you enjoy the frames. More on my flickr.

Oh, and don't forget to follow Aveneu on Twitter!

Sneak Peak: Aveneu Magazine

Here is a little sneak peak of the first ever issue of Aveneu Magazine. Erin and I have been working with our good friend Mackenzie on this project and we are so excited its here! There was a lot of work shooting, and a lot of time spent on laying it out and finding advertising, but it finally all came together. The issue is printed, the launch party is tomorrow night, we can celebrate. We are excited to be able to finally put this in the hands of the people and see what the feedback is. See what we are doing right, and where we can move forward.

If you are in the Springfield area, I hope that you will be able to find a copy and check it out. And for those of you out of town, I will be posting some of the photos I took on my blog Wednesday. And I will explain a little more about the mag and why we are doing it.

In the mean time, you should follow the magazine on Twitter and on Facebook!

Thanks for all of your support!

day three: thrifting

Today Erin and I spent the day shopping at some of our favorite local vintage shops and flea markets, getting ready for her birthday party this weekend. I'm excited about this shindig and can't wait to celebrate with her!These photos were taken at one of our favorite places here in town, Charley's. If you haven't been there, you need to go and check it out. It's a treasure trove of vintage. If you can't find it there, you don't need it.

day two: walking with my camera

I really like walking around with my camera, and looking for things to shoot. So today when I visited Erin, I took some time to explore while she was working. Here are a few shots. Hope you enjoy.

day one: corks

I'm thinking I want to start a little personal project. Posting a photo a day, for a year. 365 photos, with one goal, to push myself and my creativity.

The rules:
1. Shoot and edit a photo everyday.
2. No shooting images and holding them for posts down the road.
3. Images shot with jobs/clients are allowed, but the image must be specifically shot for 365, and not for delivery to client.
4. iPhone photos may show up on this, but I don't want to use them as the sole source for images. The point is for me to grow as a photographer, not just post images.
5. The only reason to not post is due to technical issues.

Thanks for watching as I attempt this. And thanks for the support. I am looking forward to the journey, and can't wait to see what happens.

sunset. it hasn't happened in a while.

Erin and I went out on a little photo adventure a couple of days ago. She was working on a project that she will be posting about later. So while she was doing that, I snapped a few photos of my own. It was freezing out, but the sun was setting and it was beautiful. Hope you like the photos!
