gatlinburg + jowling

daniel [creative push] — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 23:02:06 +0000

Rachael & I went to Gatlinburg this past weekend with my sister Megan and brother-in-law Ben for Megan’s birthday. It was a great time and super relaxing. It’s been a LONG time since we’ve gotten to hang out with absolutely nothing that we HAD to do. This is obviously a dangerous situation because I ended up breaking out the camera to experiment with a little JOWLING. If you haven’t heard of this you should google it. It basically consists of making a fool out of yourself by slinging your head back and forth like while relaxing your facial muscles and freezing it on camera. The shots are a little embarrassing but so worth showing :) None of us could breath we were laughing so hard. So have a laugh…at us :)

First up…the birthday girl.
Here’s Ben
Poor Rachael couldn’t quit laughing long enough to relax her face. This is the best we got from her :)
annnnnd of course…me
What a great weekend. Here’s something a little easier to look at. The view from our cabin.

NEW YEAR…NEW SITE…NEW MOBILE SITE & BLOG FACELIFT

Well it’s been quite some time since I’ve posted on the ol’blog. I can assure you it’s not because I didn’t want to. Last year was a wild and crazy ride…I just had to make a commitment to my current clients and let the blog suffer. I learned a ton and I’ve already applied some of that knowledge to streamline my workflow and business. That being said…I am going to make a bigger commitment to the blog this year. I really want to use it to document my life and work. Thanks to everyone who continue to check back often.

2010 has so much in store and I’m extremely excited about it. To start it off, I’ve launched an entirely new website … I gave the blog a facelift to match :) … I launched a “mobile” site that is mobile device friendly. Just visit www.creativepush.com on your mobile device (i.e. iPhone, CrackBerry, etc…) and you’ll automatically be forwarded to my mobile site. So feel free to share!

And finally…I’ve broken down and created a facebook fan page for creative push. I’ve known about the power of social networking for some time…but I just never bit the bullet. So please…won’t you please…be a FAN :)

So for my first post of the year…Here’s the new cover of Tulle. Each issue is always a fun and hectic ride for me and Rachael (especially hectic for Rachael :). This issue was no exception. On the day of the cover shoot, Audrey (our oldest daughter) fell and need to have stitches in her face right as we were about to start to shoot. Luckily she was ok and after all of the setup, hair, makeup, etc we couldn’t turn back. I got this in a record time. Our first double cover…Please meet our wonderful model… Amber Bowman. We’re sooo pleased. Thanks Amber!

Abril + Henry [Day After] sorta kinda :)

To clarify…Henry & Abril’s shoot was actually on the day of their wedding. So why call it a day after shoot? Here’s the story. I got a call from Henry just a couple of weeks before he and Abril were supposed to get married. They’d already planned everything to do with the wedding including a photographer to capture most of the day. After seeing my ad in the winter/spring 09 issue Tulle Abril decided that she’d like to get some shots by me as well. After explaining my day after sessions and meeting with me, they decided to book it…but on the day of :) Since your wedding day is pretty hectic…here’s some of my favorites from what we came up with in 1 hour at their reception site Twin Oaks. Thanks so much Abril & Henry!

We started inside for a few before hitting the heat outside.
annnnd outside…
Funny how they picked me from my ad in Tulle and now they’re my new ad in Tulle!
