New Blog Coming

This is the time of the year when we try to figure out what happened in 2008, lots of last minute paperwork, archiving of digital files, and making plans for 2009. First up is a new blog, say good bye to this trusty little  friend it's come time to move on to bigger and better. So for this post I leave you with me stretching my legs and taking a brake away from the computer. See you in '09 with a new blog.......

Change

Lots of stuff will be changing the first of the year, TYB Photography will now become Jared McMillen Photography (www.jaredmcmillen.com), wanted to make it easier for future clients to find us. Looks like the start of '09 is going to be busy we already have a bunch of really cool shoots set-up, no details yet but they will be awesome, hint athletes with lots of lights........ We were in the studio today goofing around, kinda fun. All the best.......

NEW? almost never.....

Been thinking of a bunch of stuff to post, just been to busy out enjoying the winter air, the white stuff is kicking my ass, sore all over, life is good. Could post a pretty picture from a past shoot, could talk about the lighting details, could talk about all the cool upcoming shoots, or I could just bee working on a new blog......... Working on kicking out something that is cool, stay tuned. Until then a couple pretty pictures.....

Fine Art Gallery Coming

Been working on sorting through all of our fine art images, in the process of loading a gallery allowing the purchase of prints, should be cool. The end of the year is pretty much wrapped just some last minute paper work and then we're out the door for some skiing.....

Huge Prints

With all the recent snow that has fallen in the Vegas area we have been busy getting up early and shooting as much scenic stuff as we can. Never said I was a landscape photographer, but we're having fun creating huge files that we hope someday will be huge prints......

Snow in Vegas BABY!

Today I decided to work from home and avoid the studio, started editing images from a recent shoot around 8a.m. and ended up sitting in front of the computer until about 2:00. The dogs started going crazy about 2:15 and I thought I'd get up to check on them and then I noticed it snow and lots of it. In all at our house we got about 5" so far and it's still coming down, pretty rare for Vegas. Only thing I could think of is playing in it so we spent a good part of the late afternoon chasing the dogs and building a snowman, I mean who knows when this will ever happen again........

Holiday Card

Thought I'd post the front of this years Holiday Card that goes out to past and future clients. We wanted something a little different this year, think we nailed it. We've been busy trying to wrap up the year and today was really I mean really hard to sit in front of the computer all day with almost 2 feet of the white stuff in the mountains......

Cars in Motion

Thought I'd post a pic I shot a couple years ago when I was doing a bunch of freelancing for a couple daily's. Seems to be a fitting image with everything that is happening in the mess of the american autos........ Can only hope something happens soon.

Meet Xyience

Shot the leaders of Xyience this morning in the studio, wanted to create something other then just the boring old head shot, we wanted to create images for them that were not only powerful but have an impact on the viewer. Awesome company and great folks to work with, we're looking forward to more in the future.......

People

We love to shoot powerful people and work hard to get the point across using just the right amount of light and from the right direction. Today we had three awesome folks in the studio creating some powerful images that will be used in a bunch of PR material for their company. More on this later just really liked this portrait..... 

Still Kicking

So I thought we were busy about a week or so ago, but this week and the coming week pretty much are gonna take the prize. This morning we finished up the shooting of the famed mouth piece for Wanderlei Silva now we'll pull them into photoshop and work a little magic. We have been gearing up and planning for a couple larger shoots that will happen before the end of the year so lots of stuff happening around here.........

Couple Days in Cali

Just returned home from a couple days of shooting in Southern California, massive day of catch up, then out shooting the next two days. Crazy time of year for us, lots and lots of shooting means lots and lots of editing. On another note today is Trish's birthday so a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her........ More updates will be coming next week once we can dig our heads out of the sand........

FCM X-Mas

Forte Creative Media (one of our clients) approached us a couple weeks ago about creating an image for them that would be used in their Holiday promotions, ideas tossed back and forth until we decided on the final concept. Outdoor office with their toys; skiing, climbing gear, snowboarding, well yo get the point. Their ideas are so big they need to store them outside, we loved it and had a blast working with them........
