A year in photos.... and a Thank You Contest!

This has been a great year and I have so many people to thank for it. Mostly my family for being my stronghold. I wouldn't be doing what I am without their support. Especially my mother who despite everything is still my biggest fan.

I would also like to thank all of my clients this year who have taken a chance on me and have given me such a blessing by letting me photograph them or for them.

I also HAVE to thank my friends, Kami and Margie who are pimpsters and my biggest fans. They have relentlessly be on my team. I have had such a blast shooting for them!

To all the cute kids I have photographed and all the weddings and couples... thank you!

Thank you to all my new fans... I owe you cupcakes and cookies! :D

To all my blog followers who still come back and check up on me... I promise more and more photos this year. Hope I entertain more than the last.

I am looking forward to getting to know all you new people and new clients. I hope I get to work with my old clients again. And most off all I hope I can continue to shoot and capture what I love most!

And with that I am giving you ALL a chance to win a 8x10 print of your choice. Visit my Flickr and tell me which one.

For a chance to win recommend someone to my blog. If they follow, and you have to specify who recommended you or who you are recommending, you get an entry. So that means unlimited entries, really!

You have till the end of January to enter and recommend and spread the goodness around!

And authors if you have been thinking about booking me keep an eye out on the blog for some coupons this January...

Trespassing

I asked a funny question today on Twitter: If you saw me in a police car getting arrested what would you think my crime was?

Alea guessed trespassing for a photo.
Ironic that she should say that because some photographers are notorious for it. The thing is some of the best photos exist in places that no one is allowed to tread. Places that are fresh and new and that has yet to be seen.

So here's three pictures from a shoot I did... where I did trespass.







And my header too!!! Can you tell I love fields of tall wheaty grass?

PRINTS?!?!

One thing about doing film photography is the simple beauty of making too much than you need. I have a lot of prints lying around and if you are interested in a photo of mine I am selling them.

I will be posting pictures of the ones I do have but if there's one you are particularly interested in... let me know!

Email me at vandsmedia[at]gmail.com to request prints or if you have questions. ALL prints are $50 till supplies last. Once school starts again I'll be able to make more and will have new ones.

Visit my flickr for available work.

Today's print picks are:
