Welcome Get Shot By Tate!
Since you MUST know about me...... I'll talk about what kind of photographer I am. I'm the kid who hated traditional crap. I hated the concept of doing wedding photography. I wanted to do high fashion and naked people - and that WAS IT. Fast Forward to ten + years later....... I'm doing weddings, naked people (but it's always tasteful..... or at least I think it is) and I do SOME traditional stuff. I like to think my traditional stuff is twisted. Ok, it's not traditional. Call it what you want to call it, but I don't like the WORD - traditional. My wife does. She's twisted traditional. My work is my work. I don't like rules. It's hard for me to play by the rules when I'm doing photography. I think that's what keeps it so fun for me. I tell the parents of my senior shoots that I dislike cap and gown shots (was I supposed to do that?) but I still do them because I know they love those. ;-) I think you get the drift of what kind of photographer I am. I may think I'm way more radical than I am, but let me think I'm just ubercool and not traditional. Okay?

Here are the Davidsons who are rapidly becoming my top client these days! They have hired me    not once, not twice, not thrice.... but FOUR times within a year! They "get" the fact that I am a good deal! You could go to a photographer for professional photos and pay up to 500 plus for prints..... whereas you can come to ME, a professional photographer too, and get the most kick ass photos for a nice little buck AND a CD! ;-) I am nothing but honored to be chosen by the Davidsons to document their lil tyke, Chase, throughout his growing pains. We did their maternity session, then his newborn, then 3 mos old shoot, and now here are his SIX month photos. He is a charming little man and I cannot wait to see how he grows even more (even though his parents probably want him to stay a baby........... I would too!).

Again, to the Davidsons - THANK YOU. Enjoy these for years to come!!!!!!!

GO SAINTS!!!!!!!!!

IMG_1417.jpgThis apple toy was for Ashley when she was a baby - and now he's playing with it. Time flies, yes?

IMG_1444 copy.jpgThe photo above is one of my favorites ever captured of a family. It's so haunting but still a gorgeous photograph. I hope I can do this for myself when Sarah and I start a hood!
