Food Photography for Walmart Meal Solutions

This past July was a busy month for me, picking up shoots for LaBellaPhoto, and doing shoots for Meredith Corporation's clients such as Walmart Meal Solutions, which is a Facebook page for the regular Walmart consumer, and application page for iPad, and iPhone. I have had a chance to shoot with more of Meredith's AMAZING clients. More information to come!

To New Life-Olivia

I recently visited one of the most beautiful new born babies I have ever met. Olivia, daughter of Katie and Mike Leporte. I don't believe words can express how fortunate Olivia is to have parents such as Mike and Katie. I have never seen a couple as ready for their new life as these two. As much as Olivia is fortunate to have them as parents, Mike and Katie are just as much fortunate to have such a healthy and beautiful baby.






Olivia has grown significantly since these photos, every day that goes by the children in the world grow older and older, and get bigger and bigger.
Katie is a super talented designer, artist and crafter overall. Check out her blog for more updates on Olivia, or even for fun design tips.

Food Photography for Meredith Corporation, Des Moines

As most people who know me, I have been working in the Photo Studio Department with Meredith Corporation for the past year. I have been extremely fortunate, and happy to work for Meredith. Even more recently, I have been coming across even better opportunities as a hired photographer for Meredith Magazines, Book-azines, and web photography. I have photographed for 30 Minute Meals, a Special Interest Media Magazine, Wal-Mart World advertising, and DIY (Do It Yourself-Better Homes and Gardens Magazine). Here is a link to some of the food photography I have shot in the past handful of months.

Satori- Ann Stimmel Aerialist and Satyrus Jeering works

Ann Stimmel is an aeralist who is locally based in Des Moines, Iowa. A few months ago, Ann Stimmel, Ian Miller, Eddie Clearwater, and myself worked on a production shoot for a film called Satori. The performance, and costume design was done by Ann Stimmel, with direction by Ian Miller, myself as the lead photographer, Eddie Clearwater as second camera, and Satyrus Jeering designed masks.

Ann Stimmel is one of the few aerialists based in Des Moines, Iowa. Ann will be performing this New Year's Eve at The Bash, which is located at The Des Moines Social Club. For more information about The Bash, check out their website
