At our video chat planning session with Flytographer, he was nervous, but excited. Sean knew two things: he wanted the Houston skyline in the background, and it would be important to Dylan to have photos of the moment.

It’s a workshop for photographers in need of inspiration, a new perspective and a reassessment of their signature style. I looked for over a year for a workshop. I can feel myself losing my mojo […]

I’ve never done a large family session before. Yes I photograph big family groups at weddings, but a vacation session is a completely different game. So when I got the inquiry from Jennifer via Flytographer about photographing her family’s four generations together, I was a little nervous. The thing that kept me at ease is […]
