Family: Baby girl’s bath time

Ok, I still haven’t done the official baby shoot but I had to document the first bath since the hospital.  It’s funny to see what happens to our kids hair the moment we start washing it.  Enjoy!




Family: The new one

I’ve been laying low a little bit since the big move and here’s one of the reasons why.  My new baby girl is finally here and she’s a ball to have around.  I finally decided to post a few from her Birthday Zero.  There is definitely more to come.  I thought that I was going to be one of those dads to photograph their new kid every day of their lives but sometimes I like to just sit back relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about shutter speeds and apertures.  So they’re not perfect but they’re my baby girl and I just thought that it would be nice to share. Enjoy!

Change is coming …

For those of you that have checked out the site lately may have notices a few new things and a few strange things.  I just wanted to give a heads up to let you know that something new is on it’s way and all will be well once I get all the kinks out.  I’m pretty excited about the change and can’t wait to get your feedback on what works and what doesn’t.  But until then, don’t be surprised if you get some strange “Under Construction” message late at night or something of the sort.

Honestly, before I get around the working on those kinks, I have got to post some more pictures of the lovely, Alfred & Alfreda as requested by their friends.  Check back tomorrow and they will definitely be here.

Engagement: Alfreda & Alfred

No, It’s not a typo.  As far as I can tell, these two are truly meant for each other.  Couples like these two just make my job so much easier and really help bring me back to why I started shooting weddings.  We had a great time in downtown Tallahassee on a beautiful yet windy afternoon and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the wedding.  I actually have a few more that I need to get around to but until then, enjoy.

Update: As promised, I uploaded a few more.

Family: Baby Kennedy

Ok, I don’t shoot the little people too often but since I have my own baby girl on the way, I figured that it wouldn’t hurt to get a little dress rehearsal in. Jimmeal & Charles whose wedding I shot last year, have welcomed baby Kennedy into the world. She is such a cool baby but I didn’t want her crying on my account so I let her hang out with her daddy while I did my thing. They did make it a little hard on me because they really wanted to wait for the rest of the crew to get the whole family shot but the biggest challenge was getting her attention off those little tassels on the ceiling fan. The funniest thing is that when I mentioned it to my wife, she reminded me that our boys did the same thing when I was trying to get some pictures of them. So now that I’ve started something, I guess I’ll be doing free baby sessions for all my lovely couples from now on. Enjoy!

Personal: Dunlap Annual Holiday Family Portraits

Why is it that you can never seem to find something when you really need it?  Well, when I finally got around to shooting this year’s family portrait, I seemed to be missing the critical component necessary to connect my camera to the tripod.  The same very thing that I had used at a shoot only a few days previously.  Needless to say, by the time I got something rigged up, it was getting late and the novelty of setting up a studio in the living room was wearing off for the boys fast.  Ok, I will admit wasting more than a few minutes shooting what has become my new facebook profile picture.  Having looked at some really cool family portraits online and having gone back and forth with my wife Tracy about the concept, I was kind of feeling a little pressure.  As you’ll see, we ended up keeping it pretty simple which is definitely fitting for us and I think it all worked out.  I don’t do a lot of back and white simply because I really like color but for some reason, I really liked what was happening with the B&W and decided to run with it.
