I wake up and overnight it snowed! In the middle of April! At first I was disappointed, but then saw opportunity to take some photos. Most of my business is studio or location commercial photography. Some event photos, executive portraits, […]
For little over a year, I’ve been flying a drone. I’ve added low level aerial photography and video to the list of commercial photography I provide clients. I have my remote pilot’s license and the drone is registered. Here’s a […]
Here’s a few aerial photos from late fall in SE Iowa. These were taken after doing aerial photography of another location. It’s a little late in the fall, but some of the trees are still hanging on to their colors. […]

I took a trip to northern Iowa to Clarion to visit my mom this past weekend. Two days before the area had heavy wet snow and blizzard conditions. As I left mom’s apartment to head back home to Des Moines, […]
