Malone & Co.

Geoff Johnson from Malone & Co invited me out on a Commercial shoot they were doing this last week and I had a great time. The shoot was for the University of Nebraska Foundation and I was able to meet Doug and Sara (on both ends of the picture) who work for the foundation. Doug is a writer and Sara is their art director. I was also able to meet Steph, an assistant with Malone & Co, who helped me navigate through a larger shoot like that. Afterwards Erin met up with us and we went out to lunch at the Alley Rose. It was good to hang out with everyone and meet up with Geoff again.

Heart Of America Conference

We spent this last weekend through Tuesday at the Heartland of America Conference. We really enjoyed listening to the guest speakers and hanging out with our friends and fellow photographers. One of the speaker for the conference was David Jay. I had heard him before, but am always impressed the knowledge he has to share. On the last day of the conference, we went out with DJ and a few friends for dinner. It was also my birthday and Shane treated us all to ice cream after dinner (he's so sweet). Also, I know Shane will not publicize this, but I am so excited for him...he took both second and third place for the overall Conference award in wedding photography. Yeah!

We met at our friend Geoff's studio before going out to dinner and I love his wife Anne, she's so great!


With DJ after a great dinner. I think the food made me just a little sleepy and I didn't make it too long into the car ride home before I was out :)

Fun in the Photo Booth

At many of the parties for WPPI they had these fun Photo Booths. Shane and I had a blast as well as our friends Geoff and Julie.

Malone & Co Fotoflow Workshop

(above photo from Malone & Co.)
About a month ago our friend Geoff invited us to attend a workshop he was leading along with Andrew and Mike from Malone & Company. The workshop was called Fotoflow and it focused on helping photographers establish a solid post production workflow using Lightroom. Malone & Company is a commercial photography company which produces some amazing award-winning work. We met Geoff, who is also a great wedding photographer, this past May in Chicago and have enjoyed sharing information and bouncing ideas back and forth. These guys will impress you with the amount of knowledge they have from working over 10 years in the commercial photography industry. If you've been considering switching to Lightroom, learning more about it or just hearing more about establishing a solid workflow from some guys who have it figured out, I would recommend this workshop. And for my friends out there who use Aperture, well...what can I say?
