Kevin and I might be teaching a photography class in the Spring. What kinds of things would you like to learn about your digital camera or photography in general? We would love to hear your input. I wanted to include this photo just to remind everyone that there are warmer days to come . . .
I was catching up on some of my photography blogs yesterday and I found this post with some really cool stop action photos. Hope you enjoy!

We photographed this family at a park near their house. This was such a great family to work with. They were funny and easy going and just a lot of fun to be around.
We have a soft spot for their beagle, Lucy, because we have a beagle too. Lucy was incredibly obedient all day and made the sweetest expressions.
I love this sweet moment between Steven and Laura. They’ve been married 14 years in January and they still look so in love with each other.
The family ordered a gallery wrapped canvas of this one for their living room. Looking forward to hanging it for them within the next couple of weeks.
We could tell this family loved being around each other and spending time together. It’s nice to be around a family like that. It’s hard to put in words how great of a session this was. Some people you meet and feel blessed to get to know them more and that’s how I felt after this session. Thanks Steve and Lara for being so great to work with!
Today I am featured in an article in the Des Moines Register. It is about how I got started in photography and a little about our business. It is in the Metro part of the paper and the article is called You should get to know… . You can also read it online here.
We’ve got something really cool coming up soon.. but its a secret..
Here’s a hint, though
Check back in a couple weeks when we can reveal our secret project!
Still playing “Catch Up” with the blog. Here are some of my favorite photos from Easter Sunday at Valley Church.
The second service was filled to capacity.
Apparently there were over a million other people who saw this on YouTube before me, so if its old to you, sorry for the repeat. Kindra and I thought this was great.
I finally feel comfortable posting a preview of our new website. This has been my winter project (read: obsession) and I’m really hoping to have it up very soon – even though I keep saying that.
[warning, the following is geek-speak]
While I could have gone for a out-of-the-box flash designed site like every other photographer’s, I decided to make it Flash-esque with Javascript transitions between pages. The cool thing about this (to geeks like me, at least) is that even if you don’t have Javascript in your web browser, the page will still work correctly (without the “pretty” transitions).
Included with the new site design is a completely revamped Blog template AND the blog will be living on barberphotostudio.com, not Blogger.
So, when you come back sometime to see things looking different, you won’t think you are at the wrong place!

Kindra and I are both sporting our “Save Ashlyn” shirts today. You may remember Ashlyn’s senior portraits we posted last summer.
Late in the summer Ashlyn found out she had leukemia and has been going through chemo for the past few months and is now in remission.
Today Ashlyn is having a bone marrow transplant from her sister, Hayley (what a hero of a sister!) We are wearing our “Save Ashlyn” t-shirts in support; what’s really cool is that there is a Facebook group that Ashlyn’s family started to gather photographs of everyone wearing their “Save Ashlyn” shirts.
T-Shirts were designed and printed by Smash in Des Moines and I understand that they donated the graphic for the family to use. (Of course, its a spoof of the famous water tower in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.)
Update (1/23 3:30 pm – via Facebook): Danny says the transplant is complete. All went well with Ashlyn. Hayley had a pretty rough go but is slowly getting better. Hayley is a HERO!
