We haven’t been very good at updating our Blog, but we have a weekend off so now seems as good of a time as ever.

I will start with an engagement session from a few weeks ago. Stephanie’s father restores/builds custom boats and we took a trip out to the lake.

Backward and Forward : Reflecting @ Five Years

lisawalcott — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:50:35 +0000

People as they are, things as they happen. Documenting moments in time is what we do! As we approach five years as photographers, it has been fun to look back at where we’ve been. We’ve grown in experience, technological expertise, our equipment has been updated, our eyes have become trained. We no longer panic when it seems nothing is happening at an event and take pictures all over the place to compensate; instead we have learned to sit, wait and watch. In looking back, improvement in our current work is definitely noticeable, but there is a sort of sweetness to those first photographs. The one’s you have to try over and over to get. The shot you had never taken before like a bride putting on her wedding dress or a father gripping his daughters hand before escorting her down the aisle. It was more exhilarating then, but I’m better at it now. I suppose there are great things about both “places” that I have been.

Slowly Updating.

If you are a regular visitor to this site you may have noticed that there are a few changes going on. Hopefully everything is working as it should, but if you see something messed up please don’t hesitate to tell me.

We have a number of things that we still need to update so don’t forget to check back when you have time.

Recent Awards

I just got an email from Pete at the The Image Group and he informed me that some of the work that we did for the YMCA with The Image Group won an Addy Award. It is always nice to have work recognized - although we only played a minor role.

It looks like Image Group has also recently updated its website which looks pretty slick. I might be a little biased as we did the Staff Pictures as well as 4 of the 6 images on the home page.

Cheers to the Image Group!

Dove Evolution Ad

A short while ago I gave a photography demonstration at West Middle School and I was reminded of the Dove Evolution ad that I had seen earlier on YouTube.

Here is the ad if you haven’t seen it:

I think the ad does a great job of revealing how deceptive a photograph can be.
It is probably equally important to note that although Dove seems to promote “natural beauty” the owners of Dove (Unilever) also own the company Axe - whose ads are often a complete contradiction to the Dove ads.

Jason and Anne Engagement

Lis and I took some engagement pictures of Anne and Jason the other day in downtown Grand Rapids. It was good to meet them, and should be even more fun to attend the wedding this October.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the session:

Best of luck with your wedding planning Anne and Jason!
