On set this week

I'm inviting you in on some of my at-home and in-studio client and personal work, sharing tips along the way. This is also where you’ll find recordings from Live Photo Review and Breakdown Sessions


Past and Present Photo Live Recording - June 2, 2023

Dips and Backlight…
I hopped on a bit early so skip ahead to about minute 4:50 if you don’t want the general chatter.


Thrift Prop Shopping: Why Buy It?

It’s taken me years to get good at prop shopping. And by good, I mean buying those things that I know I’m going to use while avoiding being tempted to purchase something simply because it’s a good deal. Like anything else, it takes practice.

There’s always a bit of luck involved when thrift shopping for props. Some sales just don’t have anything to offer. But last week I had quite the opposite experience. I found a whole haul of useful props at a local thrift sale for $16.

I thought I’d use this opportunity to show you why I bought each item. I find it’s really important to be able to envision the photos you’ll create with it before handing over your money.



Three Surfaces for Under $10 Each 02.01.2022

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about surfaces lately, and if we’ve been connected for long you know that I love original surfaces. I contribute the ability to create my own style, a style that I love, almost entirely to my hunt for fun surfaces. We all live in different areas with access to different things. I think using this to our advantage is the best way to create photos that are uniquely us.

In this video, I share three surfaces that I use that cost under $10 each.

  • Flooring tiles from Habitat Restore

  • Laminate table and cabinet pieces from IKEA

  • Old card tables from a garage sale

I show you some examples in the video.
