The Look.
Kelly B of Miami makes me look like a great photographer over and over. It's an honor to have worked with her. Here are a few of my favorites.

"Late Nite" Featured on Photoshelter
KU Late Nite 2009 - Images by Gregg Riess
You'll want to enjoy these images in "fullscreen" mode. It's the icon in the lower right corner.
Archive: Steve and Debbie Palermo
We had the opportunity the photograph Steve and Debbie Palermo for our client Assurant. Steve is the major league baseball umpire that was wounded in a selfless act of trying to help a bystander during a robbery attempt in 1991. You can read more about Steve and Debbie's story and their amazing passion to help others on their website as well as this recent article in Success Magazine. This portrait was used recently in the December 2009 issue of 435 South Magazine in an article written by Kimberly Stern.
Personal Project: Grandma's Christmas Card
Each year we gather the grandkids around Grandma Wilma for her Christmas card. Here is one of the out-takes from this year's production.
Late Nite In The Phog 2009
It's the 25th annual "Late Nite In The Phog" at Allen Field House in Lawrence Kansas on the campus of the University of Kansas. Here are some highlights of the dancing, speeches and scrimmage game.
Old School BMX. New School Photography.
Portfolio work: utilizing 5 strobes, and a bit of Photoshop to create this dynamic sports studio shot.
Trip To The Dentist.
We were asked to produce a series of images for a local dentist that is building a marketing campaign to promote his growing practice in Johnson County. Here are a few of the images from the session. I've never spent this much time in the dentist office without nitrous oxide!
Flashback: KU Jawhawk Basketball
From the archives: one of my favorite images featuring KU great Mario Chalmers making an unlikely shot in Allen Fieldhouse at the University of Kansas. My unique camera angle created a very "clean background" which provides a greater visual impact. Mario's expression, and the familiar Russell Stover Candies signage make this a classic image.
Portrait Session: Abby the Dancer
Some of our favorite shots from our recent senior portrait session with Abby.
Tour of Missouri: Kansas City 2009
It's Sunday...the final day for the Tour of Missouri. I spent the afternoon riding to 4 different viewing points here in Kansas City. The "King of the Mountain" hill on Summit was very much alive with probably over 1,000 spectators lining the steep climb to cheer these professional cyclists for 7 laps around Kansas City. I was riding from point-to-point on my bike with a 30-pound camera bag slung over my shoulder. I rode up Summit with all of that weight, and it was a blast. It was great fun moving around the streets of KC talking with marshals, volunteers, fellow photographers, fans and some fellow cyclists that decided to take advance of the closed streets to take a spin. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day. You can see David Zabriskie wearing the Yellow Jersey, and his Garmin teammates providing protection up the climbs.
Tour of Missouri: Time Trial 2009
I'm a cyclist, and I'm a photographer. And, I know my way around Missouri. This event was perfect for me! Many of the heroes from the last several Tour de France races are spending the week in Missouri to race the "Tour of Missouri." I was fortunate to spend the day in Sedalia for the individual time trial. After riding my bike around the area to scope locations, I found the perfect spot. I was sitting in the middle of the road up against a pylon. It was a perfect spot---I didn't say it was safe!!! I couldn't get much closer to the action. I had each cyclist zipping by me within the first 2 miles of the start accompanied with their police escort, marshals on motorcycle and team support cars. Then, I turned about 125 degrees and I was able to shoot the cyclists for their final 1000 meters from the same vantage point. I had a few close calls, but the corner marshals were delightful and very accomonadating throughout the day. Here are some of my favorite shots. Enjoy!
Senior Soccer Star: Ali
Ali is our latest "showcase" senior! Ali is one of the bright stars of Kansas City soccer, and she earned a spot on the "first team" of the 2009 All-Sunflower League girls soccer team. Here are some samples from her studio segment of her Combination Supreme Senior Portrait Experience. We're looking forward to her outdoor/location segment next week! You can learn more about our senior portrait experience and see other examples at www.KansasCitySeniorPortraits.com
Senior Swimmer.
One of our recent "showcase" clients is a high school swimmer. Here are a few of our favorite images from her indoor/studio segment. Look closely and you'll notice that we shot images in the pool as well...which is not for the faint of heart!
Joakim Soria: Bullpen Patience.
It was a hot day at the "new" K in Kansas City while the St Louis Cardinals were just a few outs from sweeping the hometown Royals. Although it wasn't a save situation, Joakim Soria would soon be seeing action during the 9th inning. Until then, Soria sat in the home bullpen waiting for his warm-ups. Even though I was out there as a fan, I was lucky enough to have my "pocket camera" with me. A lot of us have been talking about the Canon G9 as a pocket camera that still has enough capability to grab shots similar to what we'd expect with our professional gear. The G9 delivered. Here are 3 shots that I wanted to include in this blog posting...I feel like I was making eye contact with Soria, but I am sure his mind was focusing on the upcoming match-ups that perhaps would include Albert Pujols or other Cardinal hitters.
