design time: wedding albums…and more albums.

That’s about all I’ve been working on the last couple days!  Here’s a couple spreads from Thomas & Abigail’s wedding, which if you didn’t catch their photos the first time around you can right here.  I have to say, Fundy Album Builder is probably the best investment I’ve made for album design!  If you’re a photographer and looking to save some time and still have custom options at your creative disposal, check them out.  I’m now getting 20-30 page albums done in around 1-2 hours.  It’s a beautiful thing!

February 17, 2010 - 10:18 pm Bryan Rupp - 2 Posts in one day Joel! This is getting crizazy! Great looking album though

jeanine & jodhan: oregon winter wedding.

I had a last minute opportunity to be a part of this wedding, which was great that it worked out!  I’ve known Jeanine and her sister for a while, so it was fun to journey with her and her new husband, Jodhan through their wedding.  And on Super Bowl Sunday at that!  Thanks friends for letting me be a part of your day!

February 19, 2010 - 8:43 pm Liz Seume - Such great pictures!!! Thanks again so so much! They made me feel like I got to be there too. I'm so glad they will have all these to look back on!

February 17, 2010 - 8:28 pm Bryan Rupp - Nice work Joel, love the tilt shift man

espen: turning three.

That’s right, the boy is now three!  Crazy to believe we’ve already come this far.  So, in celebration he and I mad a photo booth the other night and proceeded to take photos of one another.  He decided on all the hats, and other random props.  He also did an amazing job of taking photos, for which I gladly posed.  The image of the two of us together was taking by EP using a remote shutter release.  Very cool!  Leave some birthday love for the little man if you have a moment.

And this one (below) I just had to include as it captures his amazing eyes, and would be great for a got milk ad.

newberg photography show: last chance!

Just wanted to let you all know that if you’re in Newberg at all this week you should stop by Chapters Books & Coffee to see my photography show!  It will be coming down this Friday, so now is your chance.  Thanks for all your wonderful comments about the show, I really appreciate it!  And, here is a photo of the opening back in December.  Credit goes to Cherice who was rockin’ the tilt-shift lens at the time.

February 18, 2010 - 3:58 pm Kathryn Lucas - Glad to see we made the wall! All the photos look wonderful! Must have been a great show!

February 3, 2010 - 12:15 am Joel - Truly, I don't think they could have been hung any better.

February 3, 2010 - 12:14 am Jess - Your photos were awesome and I'm glad they were up for 2 months. It left me more time to brag about my connection to the artist and his family. By the way, they were hung in such an eye-catching way ;)
