Free essays if you are serving in Iraq


I just watched a news story about parents in Iraq. It's heartbreaking. They are missing so much. I want to try to try to close the gap a bit. I want to offer free childrens photo essays to anybody who is serving overseas in the Omaha area. That includes Bellevue. I'm really good at creating photo essays of kids because I have been blessed with the ability to somehow get inside that "safe zone" kids put up. I'm not doing this for money, or publicity. Here is how it works. It's real easy. I come to your home, and photograph your kids, and or you doing everyday activities such as bath time, feeding time, just playing with the favorite toys, etc.... The best times in life as a parent are everyday activities. I post the images on my web site, for all of the world to see. It's amazing how moments can be shared now. This free service is not only for children. I can do essays on siblings, parents, etc...... It is for any loved one fighting terrorism any place in the world. If you, or somebody you know would like to do something like this please, please call me. I really feel like I can contribute something to peoples lives, and my country by doing this. Please call, you won't regret it.


I pray for an end to this, and all wars.

Engagement session clothing


My wife, and I took our engagement pictures 20 years ago. We still have one of the pictures on our dresser in the bedroom. I've seen it everyday for 20 years. They tend to be around for a while. Therefore, I'm going to give you a few tips on choosing the right clothing. The rules are pretty simple. The most important thing you want to consider when choosing clothes is: Are these clothes a distraction? When people look at your picture what is there eye drawn toward? You want people to notice your face (Eyes, smile) first then move to your clothing. If one of you wheres a red shirt, the eye will usually go to that red shirt first. I'm not saying "no red shirts". Bright colors look great . Especially on dark skin. If you have a great tan, red is a good color. However, you should both wear bright colors so one of you doesn't get washed out of the picture. When in doubt earth tones always work. Black, white, brown, tan, blue, green.
Look for things that are trendy, and will look funny in a few years. Watches, and eyeglasses, yellow wrist bands, jeans, etc.... You know what I'm talking about. Someday your kids are going to be laughing, and pointing out how "2008" you look. Remember, these collars looked great in 1978.

Wedding dress bustle

A wedding dress can be very heavy, and clumsy to carry. I think a good bustle is very important. I've seen the bustle break, and the Bride has to carry it around all night long. Not cool. Before the wedding double check your bustle, and have a practice bustle with somebody who is at the wedding, and you may even want to ask you seamstress to put in an reinforcing hook, or two. Good luck.

The magazine style album!




here are a few shots of the new magazine style album. It's a really cool album. It comes with a custom dust jacket, and all of the pages I design fit in one album with no extra fees. It's a great alternative, or add on to the Graphi albums.

The Rockin image events are here



I've been inspired to do a monthly portrait event. I think it will be great. I will go on location to some non typical portrait locations like Rosenblatt stadium, and Memorial stadium in Lincoln. I will be doing some traditional locations as well such as the Old Market, and a Sunset out at Lake Zorinski. I'm going to be limited on some of these shots due to the availability of the location. We will have fun.
