It’s now fall and it’s officially 1 year since I launched this photo blog for Crushed Box Photography. It’s been an incredible year. I’ve had the chance to meet so many amazing people, from brides and grooms, families, vendors, and other photographers, it has been awesome. I decided to start this business last year thinking that if I was able to get a few weddings and a few other portraits that I would be happy. Well, it’s gone well past my expectations. Every single person I’ve photographed this year has been so much fun. One of the main goals I had when starting was to make sure I was having fun as well as the people I was photographing. I decided that I was just going to be myself and do what I like to do and I couldn’t be happier that it seems to be working. I’ve had many clients tell me that they had so much fun when they were done having their picture taken and they even like the pictures too, haha. I want people to come to Crushed Box Photography not only for the photography but also because they enjoy my personality. I try to infuse every aspect of this business with that personality, from website, to meetings, to the day I take your pictures. It makes my job so easy when I have clients that I can joke around with and just be myself and I can only hope that makes it easier for them to be in front of the camera as well.

For the people that have followed my blog and website I’m sure you’ve noticed that I also tend to post quite a few nature photos that I’ve taken on my own for fun. I’ve decided to split that off to another website that I have going and I’ll be posting most of my nature pictures at www.naturesdomain.us/blog. I’ll still occasionally post some here but if you like to see that type of photography you can see much more of it at Natures Domain as well as some other photographers that will be joining that soon.

Since it’s been a while since I’ve updated the galleries on my site today is the day for that. You can view all the updated galleries in my portfolio section.

I’m really looking forward to another year of meeting more new great people and hopefully getting to photograph some again. Thanks to each one of you.
