My New Lens | Canon 50mm 1.2

Heather - Ben! These look amazing!!! It is hilarious how much Knox does not only look like you but have your facial expressions too! haha! So cute. I keep trying to find a reason for you to take some pics for me. Maybe I can get you to take some pics of me and the Sulley dog or something? :) Still haven’t gotten the camera…it’s not in stock anywhere. I’ll let you know when I do though!

How did I end up here?

How did I end up here? Wow, that’s a loaded question. Recently, I’ve had many inquire about how I ended up doing photography & design. This question has come from those who’ve known me in other occupational roles as well as those who’ve come across my blog & are simply curious. So… for those who…

Jessica Muldovan Armstrong - I love your story! I haven’t seen you since school, but I have the honor of seeing and listening to your dad brag every once in a while whe he comes into the bank! Your photos are beyond beautiful…as is your family!

Deven Wallace - Hi Ben! My sister just took me to your website and informed me you were taking family pictures for her. What a journey you have been on! I’m glad to see the Lord has worked a beautiful plan in your life and given you a blessed family. Cool pictures. Maybe one day I will give you the privilege of using you to capture the beauty of the Wallace family. lol You may not have a lens big enough for all 6 of us! Be blessed!

Kristine Neeley - This is great! First of all… didn’t know about the Marine Science part (I was studying science and engaging in work in my community in Va Beach actively to be a marine biologist… until I picked up guitar). And the soccer?! I played all the way from 5 until I left for college :) AND you know Darrel Evans (love his stuff!)… thanks for sharing!

Michelle - Ben! thanks so much for the background. Since I haven’t seen you since your soccer days, I did wonder how you “ended up here”. So glad we’re following similar paths!! …oh yeah, and feel free to be honest about my fonts!! :)

Judy Anders - Ben, enjoyed ready your story. You’ve followed your heart, grown in your Spiritual journey, have a beautiful loving family, and know what is most important in your life! Continue to do what you love.
P.S Love your photography!

Choosing the Right Photographer

Yesterday I did something for the first time… I attended a bridal fair. In the past, I’ve avoided such environments. In general, I’m not the biggest fan of the atmosphere that sometimes exists at expos, conferences, etc. There is this unspoken competition between vendors that makes me feel icky… can’t we all just get along?…
