so duston....

this happens a lot.
not bridal pictures in highschool hallways, but the beginning of a statement from my client such as this..."so duston, i was thinking about doing my pictures (enter - off the wall place or subject matter)...what do you think?" and the above pictures become the result of these conversations.
i can now add this series in my portfolio of pictures that are "so duston..."
Krista, thank you for being so cool and noncomformist, unorthodox, radical. yes radical.

published featured wedding

again, latter day bride is far from a let down when it comes to their annual publication. this is by far one of the best quality publications locally or nationally. be sure to grab it in your local stores.
and check out pages 19-21 & 120-121 for the featured weddings showcasing my work.
thanks Kate and Greg & Jessica and Ryan for the beautiful subject matter to make my job all the better!

happy 8 years

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
- ee cummings

thank you

as it has come time in the year to offer up thankfulness...i wanted to extend a HUGE "thanks" to ALL of my clients.
thank you for letting me be me. thank you for putting your trust in my art. thank you for your willingness to be bold, and different, unorthodox and edgy, flexible and free. and though it times the results may not always be the most flattering portraits, you are willing to experiment with my creativity and freedom of expression. simply put, i am because of you.
(all these portraits were taken during this year.)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
