Welcome - Sojourner Studios Welcome to the Sojourner Blog.  Thank you so much for visiting!  Amongst my travels I've met all sorts of people.  We're all on our own journey, and it's my hope to help people remember themselves and their loved ones along the way.  The images that we create together mark special times in each of our lives.  Births, Graduations, Weddings come to mind first, but special years, ages, and events can be just as important.  I'd love to talk about working with you and your family.

This past weekend you may have seen Sojourner Studios at the Perfect Wedding Guide show!  It was quite the experience.  For most of my wedding photography career, I've kept some distance from wedding shows.  This year however, we're jumping into the fray and this past weekend was my first taste of the show atmosphere.  With new gallery wraps in tow and a fresh Sojourner Studios sign to boot I headed over to the event on Sunday. 

The show was really fun and we met a good number of nice folks.  Just for kicks, I grabbed recent Sojourner Bride Iren and we kept things interesting.  (thanks Iren for coming out)  Amidst all the excitement and new friends we passed out our new Sojourner Studios Wedding Intro book.  Email me if you'd like a copy!  Just click the contact link above. 

So, here are a few images snapped with my phone.  You can see the new gallery wraps, a few albums, and the great light we got all day from the windows all around us.  I'd like to thank everyone for stopping by!

all the best,

Phil
See the Wraps!

Over the Valentines Weekend I was proud to capture the wedding of Chris and Iren.  Two beautiful people, inside and out, working with them was such a joyful experience.  No really, these two made everything easy.  We trudged out into the snow with bridesmaids and groomsmen and I can't wait to show everyone the result.  Iren was gorgeous and Chris was handsome as ever, luckily the light held out and we created some really fun images. 

However, another fun element of this event was the Sojourner Studios Event Photobooth!  I started photobooth-ing so to speak right at the start of covering weddings.  The opportunity to interact with each guest at a wedding is a great portrait making experience.  There's so many personalities and ideas involved...it's sort of like portrait making on overload!  With that in mind, here's a short slideshow of Chris and Iren's Wedding Photobooth.

Dalyn was an awesome portrait adventure partner!  Just before things started to get colder and colder here in Ohio we spent an afternoon in and around Granville.  Interested in the ideas and concept behind each image, Dalyn pulled out the most amazing antique luggage to use as road props.  AND she brought her puppy!  She did great and I imagine we'll see her face in the future!  Thanks Dalyn!

Dan's a pretty impressive fellow.  Well rounded to say the least, Dan is looking forward to studying at the university and starting his journey through life.  His friend Mike jumped in for a few candids, and if you ask me, these two look like they're about to start something!  Marysville, Ohio also made for an easy shoot!  So, if you're looking for a spot, drop me an email and we'll get together soon!

Southern Spain is full of color and travelers from across the globe.  This summer, Emily and I went to explore the Iberian Peninsula, well mostly just the southern edge, but it was exploration nonetheless.  Somehow I badgered Em in to working with a single pack and we were off to discover a place that can't help but inspire creativity.

In Cordoba we experienced the heat (105 F) and in Nerja we swam in the chilled Mediterranean Ocean...er, I swam...Em enjoyed the sun.  Along the way we met Richard, a Scottish/Kiwi Priest studying church law at the Vatican...I mean, where else would you expect to study church law?  Amazingly we schmoozed our way into class upgrades on the long flights and a few niceties along the journey.

Spain always teaches me things...and this time it was Malaga's Picasso that spoke with the clearest voice.  Successful, talented, not to mention rich, Picasso used his station and gifts to shape the world around him.  It's an act that seems imitate divinity, so we should probably tread softly here...but there is something beautiful about showing everyone else how you see the world.  Perhaps only the greats can really "shift" thinking with their work...so I'll happily accept my challenge of communicating what I see in ways that speak to people.

Anyway, Spain was great!  Now we're back!  So, let's get in touch this fall and catchup!

Phil
