Portrait of an Artist – Katie Kelly

I recently had the privilege of doing some portraits of an up and coming artist by the name of Katie Kelly.  Katie was recently signed on with Disney Fine Art by Collector’s Editions to create some incredible interpretations of Disney characters and stories.  Her work is very unique and has such a great feel to it.  It was a great experience for me to photograph her as well. Here are a few of my favorites from the session…

And here is a small sampling of some of her work.  As you can see her work is amazing!  I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.  If you are interested in Katie’s paintings, she will be featured on the Disney Fine Art by Collector’s Editions website in the near future.

Laura and Topher

My third engagement session from last week was with Laura and Topher.  I feel so blessed to have such great people to work with.  Every now and then I hear these nightmare stories about the clients other photographers end up working with, but all of the couples I have worked with have been such amazing people and, Laura and Topher are no exception!

It was great hanging out with you guys and thanks for making the trek out to OC.  I can’t wait to shoot your wedding…it’s going to be a blast!

Studio Headshots

And it’s good to see that her success hasn’t gone to her head, and she still knows how to be a kid!

 

Zack and Mallorie

Last November, I did a family photo shoot for the Caldwell family. So the whole family was there, along with the newest soon to be member of their family, Mallorie.  Their son Zack had proposed the night before and as things worked out, they ended up choosing me to shoot their wedding this summer.  Last week, I met up with the two of them to shoot their engagement session.  I am really looking forward to their wedding this July.  The ceremony is going to be held at Mariner’s new chapel which looks amazing!  On with the photos….

For you photographers out there, I shot this with a polarized filter and an off camera strobe at camera left.  I think it came out pretty cool!

This was the closest I got to getting Zack to give me a serious look.  You can tell by Mallorie’s expression that she wasn’t buying it either.

Zack instinctively got in this position when he got near the wall.  There’s got to be a story there!

You can’t fake being truly happy…

The shot above was my favorite of the day…

I’m picturing these two on their wedding day…something tells me my job is going to be very easy!

I had a great time with these two and I can’t wait for the wedding!

The Michaels Family

One of the great joys of doing what I do is capturing memories for families.  And what’s even better is becoming the family’s “photographer” in that I have done multiple shoots with them as their family grows.  I met up with the Michael’s when their first little guy was born, and it was awesome to get to do some more photos of them with the addition of a little sister!


You guys have a beautiful family!  Thanks for letting me be part of preserving some memories…
