As many of you probably know we have a sister studio that specializes in contemporary child and family portraiture run by our very own Logan Walker – Sprout Photo. Sprout’s style is characterized by genuine, spontaneous expressions and candid, penetrating portraits that reveal some inner truth about their subjects. It takes a photographer with a rare set of skills and vision to create such intimate and revealing work and we have always counted ourselves lucky to have Logan on our team.
While it doesn’t happen often, but sometimes, lightening does strike twice!
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that the very gifted Kelli Bramble has joined the Sprout Photo team!! We are great admirers of Kelli’s images and we think that she is a perfect fit for our studio in style, philosophy and sense of humor! We are so happy to be working with her and I can’t wait to see where Logan and Kelli are going to take Sprout in the coming months!
Welcome aboard Kelli!
What follows is the text from Logan’s announcement from earlier this morning:

ZumaPhoto has an ALL NEW, totally redesigned website, and guess what? YOU’RE ON IT!! (unless you’re reading this through an RSS feed, Facebook, etc., in which case, click the link and come visit us!). And while you’re here, why not go vote for us in The Ultimate Utah Wedding giveaway! Its tax-deductible!
The site that we’ve had up until this point was literally put together in one day and we’ve not done much to it in two years. We’ve had compliments about it, but the truth is that it looked and acted much like everyone else’s – such is the weakness of Flash template sites. I’ve had something very particular in mind for many many months now, but because of our hectic schedule its taken quite a while to get all the details together. We still have a number of things waiting in the wings, but Its finally ready to unveil! I havn’t seen anything quite like this done by another photography studio, and its our hope that this is going to increase our ability to actively communicate with our clients and fans. Thanks for looking!

On Monday, November 23rd at 10am, Logan and Mitch will be on the ‘Good Things Utah’ Television show on ABC (Channel 4 in Salt Lake). We will be on in support of the engagement images that we took of Whitnee & Nick, the couple chosen for The Ultimate Utah Wedding contest. We are in competition with another photographer to see who gets to shoot the actual wedding and we need your help! After the show airs on Monday (10am), viewers will be able to log in to the voting page to select which vendors they would like to have provide services for Whitnee & Nick’s wedding. They are a fun, energetic and beautiful couple and we would absolutely love to be the ones to capture their wedding day memories for them.
How can you help?
1) Watch us on ‘Good Things Utah’!
2) Vote early (and often…just kidding)
3) Tell your friends to vote! (more…)

Continuing on from yesterday’s post… after M.I.A., New York’s Star F*ing Hipsters (hey, its a family blog) took the stage for a high-energy and varied set. After that came U.K.-style political-tinged commentary from Bath, England’s own Citizen Fish, featuring former frontman of the influential Subhumans, Dick Lucas. And finally it was time to make way for the man himself as Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine took the stage to demonstrate once again why Jello is such a legend. Stirring performance.

So here’s a bit of a diversion from the usual…
Back in 1979 American punk bands had just a pickle of a time getting records made and distributed. One of the most active, influential and notorious of these plucky groups was The Dead Kennedys – true pioneers of hardcore. In the true spirit of the punk DIY ethic, they started their own label, Alternative Tentacles, which rapidly grew to be the home of dozens of varied acts with an eventual catalog of hundreds of ground breaking, important albums. The DKs and many of the other bands that Alternative Tentacles carried were a huge part of my early life and the memories are so vivid that they seem like yesterday…. Well, they weren’t! They were exactly 30 years ago! To celebrate, Alternative Tentacles invited a representative cross-section of acts from throughout its history. My buddy (and amazing photographer in his own right) Nick Adams is the guitarist for one of those invited bands, M.I.A. Nick was kind enough to invite me out for the show! Part 2 is here.

Dance is one of my favorite things to photograph, capturing the energy, the grace and motion is a challenge… and a thrill. Recently, I photographed Ballet West’s “Curtain Up” at Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. Ballet West dancers choreographed six selections, dancers from Ballet West II and Ballet West Academy performed. Top selections will be included in the 2010 Innovations program.
Ballet West’s 2009-2010 season promises to be spectacular, so check them out!

UPDATE: Due to the proximity of Thanksgiving, it was decided that the seminar is being postponed until sometime next year. We’ll keep you posted when we know more.
About four years ago I attended a seminar in Los Angeles by famed Australian photographer David A. Williams. I’ve attended many seminars and I find something useful in all of them – but David’s message was the only one that I can honestly say left me….moved. There are many gifted photographers out there who can show you a new way to see images, help you redefine what to shoot, teach you how to wrangle the most from your equipment, or offer priceless information on how to reach your ideal client. But David speaks to something altogether different, and arguably more important: why we shoot. David shoots from the heart. And he will inspire you to do the same.
I am honored to be co-hosting David in his new 3-day seminar presentation along with the inimitable Pepper Nix of Pepper Nix Photography and Heidi & Tim Uhl of Retrospect. The seminar runs from November 23-25, 2009 at the ZumaPhoto studio in Salt Lake City, UT. You really owe it to yourself to attend.
