Just as a short thank you, I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to Chase Jarvis and the whole creativeLIVE team for bringing FREE, quality education to the masses. If you’ve never heard of creativeLIVE, go check them out at http://www.creativelive.com/ — it’ll be worth your time.
For the past 5 days, for those who tuned in for the live broadcast, viewers were treated to a full course by Jasmine Star, one of the nations’s top 10 weddings photographers. Not only did she share insight, experience, and advice on starting and managing your own photography business, she also took people LIVE behind-the-scenes at a REAL WEDDING so the whole world could truly see how a professional works.
Although free to view live, if you buy the course in the next three hours, you can still find the course for $99 as a download — after that, the price goes up to $149. However, this course is EASILY worth more than $1000, as it contains valuable information only usually shared at workshops costing a minimum of $1500.
While you’re there, I also HIGHLY recommend buying Zack Arias’s studio photography course — he does a stellar job at teaching, and I’d put money on it that there’s no better teacher currently leading students down the path to become competent, quality editorial and flash photographers. Even Jasmine Star has taken Zack’s workshop — it’s that good!
I’m always excited to learn, and I can’t thank creativeLIVE enough for what you do — keep it up! We need leaders like you to bring quality education to the masses.

It’s felt like a wild ride up to this point. In the span of three years, I’ve gone from being a single college student living in an apartment with a part-time job and aspirations of one day being a psychologist to being a married college grad living in his own house with his own business. I’ve decided that I have to stop assuming I can predict my future, because every time I do, it seems to change.
But what derailed my straight path to psychdom, you might ask. Well — there’s technically a short version to this tale, but I like story time.

Guess whose shoulder is back up and running?! MINE! Huzzah!
Good golly gosh, I’ve been in more pain than I’d like to admit for the past few months. A small injury at work led to a bigger injury which led to my shoulder stomping all over my job and schedule for what seemed like forever. Enter in Dr. Sanderlin, a Valdosta orthopedic doctor, and BAM!, shoulder fixed.
Honestly, I still need to take it slow for the next week or two, but after that, full systems a-gogo.
As an update on the more photographic side, I’m currently building a set for my white wall and studio look. Stay tuned — it’s going to be amazing. Speaking of which, if you want to participate in the studio experience, get some great looks, and have a good time, let me know!
As far as what the whole world that didn’t attend missed, Zack Arias held a three day workshop at creativeLIVE for $FREE.99! If you think you want to be a photog, or you want to learn more, or if you just want to see a man and his craft meld so white seamlessly (rimshot!), hop on over to creativeLIVE.com and buy his workshop. AMAZING.
Now, without further adieu, I’m going to stop babbling and show y’all the bridal session! Enjoy!

I’ve been very excited about these images for a while. I had the opportunity to shoot with Lindsi Jones on May 10th in Cordele, GA as a second shooter and loved every second of it.
Here are some of my favorites — and make sure to take a look at Lindsi’s blog if you’d like to see more!
As a side note, my lack of posting has a reason behind it — I’m still recovering from a recent injury. But don’t fret! The second I’m 100%, photos will be processed, posts will be made, and pictures will be taken. In the meantime, still contact me if you need my services. Recovering or not, my calendar seems to get crowded fast, so let me know dates and times as soon as you know them!
Look out for my Florida expedition and a bit of random truck wreckage next!

I’ve barely even started editing the shoots from this past weekend. Breaks between shoots were used for eating or sleeping, so no time to get a head start. But just to hold everyone over, I’ve got a quick preview for ya. I’m not even finished editing these, but hey, you guys don’t care about that, right?
In order of appearance: one from Nichole’s session, one from Brittany’s, and two from Andi’s bridal shoot in St. Augustine.
