Handsome Gentlemen

The Anticipation of Tyler Austin Parker

More Favorite People

 In July of 2002, I said something corny. I can't remember what, but I was overheard. Thinking I would be fun to hang out with, the woman who overheard me invited me to hang out that night. I took her up on her offer, and in the following twelve hours, we caused so much havoc and gathered enough dirt on each other to last for the rest of our lives. If the subsequent transpirings of our outing were ever made public, she and I would more than likely suffer personal, professional, and financial ruin.

 That's how Tiffany Glover and I became best friends. We are steadfast in preserving the nature of our bond, yet we make honest attempts at reliving our fateful meeting.

 It has been a longtime since I promised that if she ever got married, I would be her photographer, pro-bono. When I made that commitment, she was single with no prospects so the offer was low-risk. Then she met Tony. Then they moved in together. Then he proposed. Then Tiffany remembered that I had volunteered my services. In October of 2008, I shot her engagement photos and added their daughter, Kendra in for their first photos as a family.

Shantel and Dan's Matrimony

 These photos are about as old as my first camera, but they remain as some of my favorites. Dan and Shantel were married here in Cedar Rapids, but currently reside in California along with their two cats. They are also some of my favorite people.

Recessive Red Heads

 This is just another round of photos from work. They're not very recent, but I think they all came out pretty well, especially considering the ratio of children to adults to pregnancies to grandparents. As with all the work shots, everyone is lit with one fill and one main flash always the same distance away, but the background light was placed in a different location in each shot. I'm still deciding which position I like best. I will keep you posted, as I am sure you are riveted.
