If you were present at Trinity Baptist Church around 4pm, you were treated to a really touching moment involving a special little boy named Luke and a soft-hearted Jacksonville Jaguar named Brad Meester.

Senior photos with Victoria

If I've ever photographed someone who just fits in naturally in front of the camera, it's Victoria. She's a senior this year and I had the great opportunity to photograph her senior portraits. And she couldn't have made it any easier. If I didn't know her any better, I'd swear she had modeling experience. I'll stop ranting, however, and let the photos speak for themselves.

For my 365 photo today, I wanted to try and get something out in the open. I asked for a volunteer (I usually do this via Twitter and Facebook, keep an eye out if you want to come out) and Sidney piped up. She's currently very into read...

365 2012/30 – History in the Ground

I was traveling through the Riverside area of town today and I recalled that they have some of the old brick-paved roads still intact in some of the streets down there. I've never really payed much attention to them, so I decided to che...

Sarah and I had our friends Devin and Shannon over for a game night after Sunday night church, and I figured, why not take a picture? (Because that's the typical thought you'd have when company comes over, right?) Devin decided to play ...

I had a few minutes during the day, so I wanted to see what kind of set up I could throw together really quick made up of from my pool of photography gear.I put up a quick shoot through background with a flash behind it (that's how it's...

365 2012/27 – First Roll Over

Portait & Family Photography | Jacob Vorpahl - OneBrightSpot.com — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:41:10 +0000

Occasionally, when I have no business that takes me out of the house during the day, I'll keep Jaxson home with me. It's just really hitting me that he truely isn't going to be as small as he is today, and he's only going to get bigger ...

365 2012/24 – Failure in the Field

Portait & Family Photography | Jacob Vorpahl - OneBrightSpot.com — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:45:26 +0000

Well, you can't win 'em all. Basically, this 365 shoot turned out nothing like what I'd hoped. I thought the location we were going to had different characteristics to it than it did and pretty much things went downhill from the start. ...

I solicited my Facebook and Twitter friends for a volunteer model this afternoon and my friend Victoria quickly jumped on the opportunity. I took her senior photos and we had, what may have been for me, one of, if not, my best photo sho...

Portait & Family Photography | Jacob Vorpahl - OneBrightSpot.com — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:32:16 +0000

Sarah and I love to play games, especially with other couples. We tend to deviate toward partner games, which usually leads us to Spades or the similar card game, Rook. If you've never played the game, it's a lot of fun, but it can frus...
