Over the weekend, I had an opportunity to do a second workshop with Tyler Stableford in Moab, UT. Last spring, I blogged about a fantastic sports photography workshop that Tyler conducted in Boulder, CO. This one was even better. Here is a sneak peek at 3 images I captured over the weekend. More to come…
Alex and her guests had a great time celebrating her first year. Big brother Ben showed off his new tricycle (which also belonged to mom when she was his age!), and the cupcakes were a HUGE hit with the birthday girl. Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day, Alex!
As I was putting the lid on last year’s image library (which basically means I was moving the files off my computer to my 3 backup locations), I came across lots of images that I really love but hadn’t shared. Let’s face it, when you take 40,000 images a year, not even a loving mother will sit through them all. But here are 20 moments from 2010 that caught my eye the second time around.
Trying to figure out where my pic was?! Didn’t I see you in 2010????
Natalie, Greg, and their kids are regulars. I have been visiting them every few months for over two years. Usually on a Sunday. Each visit starts around 9am with a pancake breakfast, prepared lovingly by Greg while I break out my gear and start shooting….whatever. Between shutter presses, I hear about what’s new with them. I catch them up on whats new with me. Occasionally my girlfriend comes along to hang out, have some pancakes, and assist me. Sometimes, like this Sunday, we take a field trip. And I just keep shooting. It turns out to be kind of a Day in the Life of their family (completed in 2 hours). And its just a LOT of fun. After photographing them so often, we’ve entered the realm when it just gets really good: the children know me and are always ready and willing to play, I spend almost no time thinking about my gear, I already know where the best light can be found. There are no nerves in the entire home. I can be creative. And they can be their beautiful selves. I hope that it shows.
…and a visual shout out to the very capable assistant!
They already have a baby girl with teeth! Wow! I don’t know them but I feel like I do. And Serene is always so dang stylish, even in her casual assistant clothes. Love the gloves.

In the New year, a 2011 photographers workshop list was published for known workshops to take place in Moab. It is great to see a sample of the images that can be captured in Moab. Thanx!
Fantastic preview Dana! Can’t wait to see the full set! Next time you sign up for an outing like this one let me know, maybe I’ll join you.
