Heather Bergthorson a year later

Heather is the "Face of Dodgie Dator's Fine Art Photographs", the official concept model and modeling instructor on my "The Experience Portrait Session". We've been working together for a full year now...ever since my start in portrait photography, May 2009.

She loves to try out new things, as my premier concept model we both learned various different techniques both in posing and lighting. I am very thankful to find a model that worked with me right from the very start of my career in people photography. She always have been supportive of my fine art photographs. She can't be more supportive than being there for me all through this time.

This session is a relax, off to the beach kind of session. After all the cool more serious concept sessions we had in 2010, she deserves a fun session. It was her first time to this wonderful location and I thought I bring her here for our anniversary session.

Thanks H... for such an amazing year, more sessions to come mam.

James and Kristen's Engagement Session

I did an earlier photoshoot with James and Kristen...but more as a family portrait including the really adorable Carter.

This time we did a formal engagement session. Here's some of my faves.

Olympus EP1-initial shots

I just recently purchased an Olympus EP1... I tried resisting it as much as I can since I know I don't need it. As I get to see more and more sample photos from this camera...the harder it is to resist. The Olympus E3 is still my primary pro tool and the E1 as my secondary set. What would I be using my EP1??? Thinking of selling my Panasonic LX3 for it to take it's place... but no... the LX3 is an amazing camera too that I use quite a lot. Will the EP1 find a place on my gear bag???

Here's some initial photos I created with my EP1.

Mitch and Tracy Wedding Photos-1st upload

This is one wedding that is very special to me... this is the wedding of my good friends Mitch and Tracy. Thanks guys for letting me create these artworks for your most special day. Too bad we only had 30mins to do formals despite the schedule issues we created so many amazing photographs for your album.

I will post more as I get through them in the next week.

Thanks again guys...
