So the best thing about winter is downtime for wedding photographers! We go and go and go for months on end then all of a sudden everything just stops. It takes most of us (or at least me) a couple weeks to figure out what to do with all the free time, then we realize: Oh My! We have time to see ours spouses, kids and to….Shoot just for fun! :)

I love my clients, I love weddings and seniors and models, but sometimes its great just to go out and shoot without any pressure. Here is one shoot I did over December with some of my free time.

So I think its pretty obvious by now, I’m a bit obsessed with music and live shows. I love concerts, honestly besides photography it’s my favorite thing to do. So its pretty awesome that starting in 2011 I got the opportunity to begin combining the two things! I’ve not worked with a lot of bands yet, but what I have gotten to do is pretty awesome. Shooting Halestorm for 103.9 The Bear back in December was pretty epic and still tops my list :)

I have a really good friend who is also a photographer, she’s been doing band portraits for a little while now and we’ve decided that we should combine forces and become a package deal for bands looking to get live shots and portraits. So my new side project is 2Cc Photography, be sure to check it out and share it with any bands you might know. Some people want to know what 2Cc stands for, well thats for us to know and for you to find out ;)

2012 Is definitely looking up for our music side business, if you plan to see Shock Roxy at Club Fever next month or Trash the Dress at the Bender Ballroom on February 17th be sure to look around for us and say hi! We’ll also be in Cleveland shooting Jackie Band in February and I will be shooting Rock on the Range in May for 103.9 The Bear! Its going to be an awesome year!
