(402) Arts Collective

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the (402) Arts Collective. I had the pleasure of photographing a few of their newest instructors for the webpage (check it out here: http://www.402artscollective.org/meet-our-instructors)
The (402) Arts Collective is a fantastic group of Omaha indiviudals that are dedicated to the community and education in the arts. Here is a blurb directly from their website: 

The 402 Arts Collective is a vibrant network of artists who are committed to impacting the culture and serving the Omaha, Nebraska community. We believe that when you give the right tools to an artist with a heart to serve, they can change the culture. We foster a vibrant and growing collective of artists who are on a mission to serve others and make an impact in the lives of those they mentor. We have pooled our resources together to make a greater impact together collectively on our community. Through teaching, creating, and performing, our students learn important life skills such as self-confidence, an appreciation of excellence, teamwork, and communication.

Through the various stages of creative expression – Education, Creation, and Performance – The 402 Arts Collective provides the catalyst to a richer arts culture in our community. A number of valuable programs have grown from this gathering of talents and resources. Programs, including The 402 Rock Academy, 402 Lessons Studio, and Arts Education Connection, are dedicated to providing tangible training and instruction to students of all ages. Other programs, such as The 402 Venue and The 402 Recording Studio, are designed to provide local artist avenues to hone their talent and craft.

The J Family

Now this is one good looking family! Rachel has been one of my good friends for quite sometime. When we both lived in Lincoln while we were in school we actually spent one summer sharing a farmers market booth. She is fantastic, a wonderfully artsy individual who I envy for all of her great talents! Her family is just as wonderful! First, I'm always impressed when little boys do well in photo shoots. We had lots of great smiles, and very few bribes from mom to keep them in a good mood :)  I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their family for a Christmas card. We had a wonderful day at the park, I wouldn't even call it work! 

Photography 101

I love photography, and I love how accessible digital SLR cameras are now. So many families now have good cameras, but don't know how to use them without Auto! Learning to take photos on Manual mode will change your photography dramatically, and you'll be able to tell the difference quickly!  I'm now offering one-on-one classes for just $35. If you want to bring a friend, together it will be just $55 for the two of you! If you're a mom or dad and want to bring a couple kids along for your model, go ahead! Its a great opportunity to take a few photos of the kiddos! How does it work? We will meet at a park, home, etc. and discuss a few of the basics and you can get going! I'll walk you through things you may have questions about and give you some great tools to keep learning and practicing!  What will you learn? I go over a few of the basics with you. We talk about ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. We will discuss light and the basics to making the most ...

Wedding Photography: Guests

I absolutely love weddings. However, I think there is some etiquette that many people don't know nowadays when it comes to attending a wedding where a professional photographer has been hired to capture this special day! If you know all the below, hallelujah, all wedding photographers love you :)  Here are my etiquette suggestions for guests attending a wedding with a hired professional photographer. 1. The Bride is my Client. Although you may think "The bride wants a photo of my family, so I must grab the photographer to take a photo at the rehearsal of me and my family" If she didn't tell me, its probably not top of her list. I'd suggest never pulling the photographer aside to take a photo of you, your friends, or family. If I think the bride wants one, I'll take it. If you're really concerned about this, check with the bride first. This isn't so you'll have a photo tagged of you at the wedding on facebook. This goes for bridesmaids and the...
