Top Captures - Serenity Now
Image
And at last we come to the final selection of the Top Captures of 2013. As I stated earlier, this wasn't an official countdown per se. So just because this capture is the last one presented does not mean that... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Reunion
Image
Not every photo has a great story behind it. Sometimes it really is just a simple case of the capture being one that holds a special place with me. That's the case with this one. There's really not a whole... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Rajaa
Image
Do you ever have that one person that you know where you can't remember how you met them but you're glad you did? That's how it is with Rajaa. I do know that I met her on The Book, but... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Levitation
Image
I'm not sure when the whole levitation photo craze started becoming a "thing". I'm pretty certain it has been around longer than this year. It just seemed like this year was when I started seeing more of them popping up.... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Kinfolk
Image
That's what I ended up calling Brandon ever since we discovered something we conspicuously had in common. See, I always knew I had a lot of family down here. Many of them that I had never met. Most of them... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Mizzo
Image
I know you're probably thinking the same thing I was when I first met this little fella. Where in the world did that name came from? The first thing that came to mind was that whole hip-hop language that Snoop... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Angel
Image
Figured I should probably do something geared toward Christmas for this point in the Top Captures. Thanks to the last minute rush on Christmas themed shoots that I had late in the year, I probably could have used one those... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - The Neelys

Now you seriously didn't think I was going to have a Top Captures list and this photo WASN'T going to be in there, did you? When I announced that I would again be having the Top Captures this year, I... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Gabe
Image
There are a few interests that I have that Gabe actually shares. I'm still trying to work with him on the whole Chiefs fan thing. Can't seem to get him off the Packers. Even though pretty much all the family... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - The Marnins

Have I told you how much I enjoy repeat customers? It just says a lot when a client has so much faith in your work and ability that they want to keep you using your services. It comes in especially... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Mother
Image
Remember how I told y'all how much I enjoy taking photos of our elders? Yeah, I really wasn't joking. How could you call yourself a photographer and NOT like that? Every single time I do it it results in a... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Shhhh
Image
So sometime this year I decided to start give a new name to some of my photos. I had already established the XL-Images Signature series but was thinking of something different. Something geared more towards the more risque shoots that... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Love
Image
Yes....I know it's a rather simplistic title. Pretty obvious too. And technically, I could have probably given most the captures on this list that name. They all reflect it one way or another. Plus, they would all qualify for the... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Uncle Johnny

Well I guess I'm about due to put some more family back in these Top Captures. I had mentioned that it would be a little heavy with family members and then go a while without showing more of them. That... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Adaeze

There was a one point in time where it seemed like I was doing a maternity shoot every other week. Back when I was in Des Moines full time, that is. And it really wasn't that often. It just seemed... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - The Underwoods

As I was going through the pics for this wedding, I was having WAY too difficult of a time trying to select just one that could make this list. There were just far too many shots that I was diggin'... Continue reading

Probably one of the best things I could have done for XL-Images from a marketing standpoint was join different photog and model groups on The Book. It has allowed me to get my work out there to a greater number... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - The Ball

I guess the whole frat brother support thing was a bigger recurring thing than I thought. And there's still at least a couple more (spoiler alert) coming. Y'all might get sick of my bringing up Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.... Continue reading

Do you ever have one of those moments where you truly think you may have outdone yourself? Could be in your profession or in your hobby or anything that you're doing. And maybe not so much that you have outdone... Continue reading

I had the perfect idea for a Halloween themed shoot this year. Had the person all picked out for it and everything. Unfortunately, the vision I had for it had to take place in Des Moines. Which meant I had... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Intense

Did I really just have two captures in a row where they were given actual names instead of generically named after saying the creative juices weren't flowing enough? Well I guess they were. Or I guess I may have cheated... Continue reading

Top Captures of 2013 - Desire

For some reason, that U2 joint runs through my head whenever I see this picture. It's rather random because it's not like that song was playing at all during this shoot. In fact, now I think about it, I don't... Continue reading
