Tulips in the Golden Hour
I managed to get out early in the morning to try and get some good Tulip photos, since the opportunity only comes around once a year, and it's right in our back yard. It was a beautiful morning, with a hanging mist in the air. I wasn't sure exactly where to go, but I found … Continue reading Tulips in the Golden Hour
Photo Tip of the Day: What Makes this Photo Work… And What Doesn’t?

That said, I have been lugging my camera around, and have managed … Continue reading Images from Summer – Part 1
Grace & Beauty
I shot these photos at the request of my sister-in-law, Hannah, who performed beautifully in a recent excerpt from Swan Lake. A little tip: If you want to capture photos of a dance performance, make sure and come to the dress rehearsal, as taking pictures is quite limited, and in most cases, not allowed … Continue reading Grace & Beauty
Levi Andrew Rauwolf Enters the World… Dad’s Perspective
At 3:00am, on June 8th, I awoke to the sound of something clanking around in the kitchen. I immediately turned to wake my wife, Dawn, only to find that she was not there. I breathed a sigh of relief at the realization that it was Dawn making the noise, and not some intruder. I climbed … Continue reading Levi Andrew Rauwolf Enters the World… Dad’s Perspective
