While I have a moment, I thought I’d share a couple of things that I like to do and how I do them.  The first shot is done with absolutely all studio strobe, but I thought that Heather’s mom’s perspective was really cool at the same time.  The second shows one of my favorite ways to shoot, mixing tungsten light and daylight for the background (bottom shot).  The top shot is just to show the contrast of using studio strobe as the main light.  On the third, I have one strobe illuminating the room, one strobe inside acting as a kicker light on Heather, and mom, holding an external flash with an umbrella (Heather’s main light).

Brady Campbell Photography is proud to announce a new addition to the team.  Drum roll please…….Tori Dettwiler, assistant extraordinaire!  She will be in charge of everything that I’m not, and we are confident that you will love her as much as we do.  Welcome Tori!  And for the record, we take our play time very seriously!

So, one of my pet peeves is when someone is too busy to blog for too long and then comes up with some brilliant apology, making up for it with some sweet images, links, or information.  Not assuming that anyone is really obsessed with following this neglected blog, I’ll just spout off a few things that have been going on in my life and the life of Brady Campbell Photography.  First of all, we are proud to have brought on a bright, new talent on board to help steer the ship.  Her name is Tori.  I know that it may throw a few people off when she answers the phone, but I assure you that she’s going to help us maintain our creativity and ability to connect with your family the way we did when we had more time.  Speaking of which, time….hmmmm.  I haven’t had much time with all the juggling of 4.5 kids (yes, we’re expecting another girl), building a new home, and running a business.  My life will never be dull again, and as it’s been so well put by my friends, I will have a “full” life.  It’s true.  I have so much to be thankful for.  One of the things I swore I would never do, is sacrifice in quality or service, no matter how life gets.  Well, I do have to apologize for one thing.  I have really fallen short at times with my turn-around time, due to growing demand and lack of staff, but I’m confident that we can turn that around and bring things back up to snuff.  I also want to thank all of the great people who have stuck it out with me through the thick and thin times, given me the greatest opportunity for success, in business and at home.  You know who you are.  Really, thank you.
