    [LGPonTour] Announcement – Boston/Rhode Island

    Monday, August 31st, 2009

    Boston_skyline

    It’s that time again. I am happy to announce that the LGP Tour train will be rolling on into the Boston and Rhode Island area from October 21st – October 30th, with maybe a quick stop in Connecticut on the way. If you are in or around the area and would like a photo shoot, whether it’s for your family, yourself, baby, band, whatev… send an email to booking@loveisgreaterphoto.com and we’ll start the process of setting up some shoots. I will be offering the same travel discounts, for any referrals you can get me, you’ll be given 25% off your shoot (up to 50% off total) so long as all shoots are completed in the time frame of the 21st – 30th. Send me an email and we can discuss details, etc.

    I’m sure I’ll be happy to take last minute bookings, but this is a first-come, first-serve kind of deal, and I’d like to have my schedule fully planned by no later than October 10th. So please, let me know before then if you’d like to book a shoot!

    Additionally, I am looking for some places to stay again. If you are in the area and have a couch you wouldn’t mind a photographer crashing on, please leave a comment or get a hold of me somehow and let me know. I’m clean, will cook dinner, and am an all around awesome house guest (see this twitpic of what a typical run to the grocery store looks like for me when I’m a house guest, this was in Portland when I stayed with the Clayville’s).

    Thanks to Mandy Thompson and Joel Klampert for helping to make this trip a reality… I look forward to hanging with you both, and whoever else would like to get together, and hopefully get some pictures taken!

    Adele – Senior Photos

    Friday, August 28th, 2009

    We recently had the pleasure of doing a senior photo session with Adele, an awesome teenager with ridiculously cool eyes just heading into senior year. We met in downtown Toledo and just did a little tour of the area, shooting whenever we found something cool to use for a backdrop. It was a great session, and I”m really happy with how the photos turned out. Check out some of our favorites below!

    Summer 2009 Portrait Portfolio

    Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

    We aim to update our portfolio at least four times a year here at LGP. We feel it’s the best way to continually communicate the kind of work you can expect from us, even as our creative-style continues to grow. It doesn’t necessarily mean there will always be NEW pictures, it’s just a selection of what we feel best describes our work. So, with all that said, I happily give you the new portfolio!

    Klavins Wedding

    Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

    Recently Gregg and I traveled to Bend, Oregon for our very first destination (at least for us) wedding. We got hooked up with Rob and Emily through the internet, they liked our work enough, and we loved them enough to make a trip out there possible, and I’m telling you I am so glad everything worked out. The wedding was held outdoors at Skyliner’s Lodge in the middle of the Deschutes National Forest, and I’m telling you the beauty is beyond words. Gregg and I are absolutely honored to have been a part of their day in that amazing place, and we’re looking forward to the next time we can head out that way. Below is just a sample of some of our favorite images from the wedding day.

    Hodge Family

    Monday, August 17th, 2009

    What can I really say about Brent, Tammy, Kass and Kota? These are some of my favorite people in the world, and I met them through the interwebs. Brent is an all-around amazing friend and father, Tammy is like another big sister to me and a great mother, Kass has more raw creative talent in her pinky than I will ever have, and Kota has to be one of the funniest kids I’ve ever met. This recent trip to Oregon was my third time in six months staying with the Hodge family, and this time I finally got the four of them to settle down for a quick twenty minute photo shoot. Here are just a few of my favorite shots from their shoot.
