Going going.......

....almost gone.


Gensesis 3, AKA G3 will be taking play in Vegas in just under 60 days now. Guess what, it will be the LAST ONE!! Why? Because good things end on a high. The last 2 years have been an awesome ride and this last go around is certain to be one for the ages. Feel free to check out our site for more info. We have lots of HONEST reviews from past students who are now friends.

What will you be teaching ?

The word most synonymous with my work has always been "creative". My desire early on was to create imagery that provokes the viewer to respond with, "man, that's neat". Lots of trail and error. Later it became more success then error and then finally to what I call "auto pilot". Fast forward 5 years and I feel I've been able to bottle the formula and present it in teaching form at Genesis 1 and 2. My teaching rotation is 4 hours of how to think, see and finally execute creative photography. The response has been awesome! It's been a JOY watching the results of this teaching regiment come to fruition in the students the days, weeks and following months after Genesis. In short, it works and I only show my secrets to those who will be at Genesis 3. When you're in my rotation, no question goes unanswered.

"Sam, what were you're settings for so and so shot?"

"Sam, how much money did you make your first, 3rd, 6th year in photography?"

"Sam, what's in the camera bag?"

"Sam, where is Jimmy Hoffa?"

Camera Family Session

Say hi Sydney!


You met this great family some months ago when we did a fall/winter session for them. Emily has also modeled for us on 3 occasions when shooting for Evy's tree.
Guys, you hold a record with me I think. :) Where'd we go this time? The pool! Sydny is a fab little swimmer. Such personality as well. Just so SQUEEZABLE. Having to leave broke her heart...soooo cute.

Should also mention that Emily is a physical trainer. MAtter of fact, she's been training for my family the past several months. I can't recommend her enough guys.
Knows our limits but drives us to get after it. Between Monica and I, we've dropped 100+ lbs. Gonna have a session of my own pretty soon! ;)

Happy Sunday

~Sam

Her expression on the right. I LOVE it. That folks is a claugh. A laugh and cry in one.


Hahahahahahahaha!

Elisha and Girls

So first off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2012. WOW WOW WOW.

Lots of exciting things planned for the year and looking forward to showing you all our happenings. I've talked about our website/blog revamp for AGES now but I promise THIS YEAR it will happen. :) Lots of set backs but I think we're finally past them.

First up are 3 lovely ladies not unfamiliar to ther pages of my blog. You'll remember Elisha and her beauties from a fashion/branding shoot we did for Evy's Tree the past several months. We all felt it was time they had a session of their own. Sadly for the rest of us, there are just people on this earth who just can't take a bad photo. These three are among that group. Always a pleasure ladies.

Note: All the sugar goodies and a few of the hair accessories were made by my wife Monica who accompanied the shoot along with my boys. Think I have a pretty good reason as to why the boys decided to come to THIS particular shoot. Elisha....I'm preparing the dowry now.....
