There are big changes in the works at Bell Imaging & Design, all starting in January 2011!

I had the honor this year of photographing a day at Pine Tree Camp in Rome, Maine for the Pine Tree Society. This is PTC’s 65th year of providing a typical summer camp experience to kids with disabilities.

With that in mind, there are a couple of [...]

It’s Saturday morning and I’m prepping for a business portrait client. We’re using the studio because it’s frigid outside, but I thought this would be a great opportunity to talk about my approach to portraits.

Can you believe it’s already Feb. 1? I just realized it today and I can’t beleive we’re one month in already!
