Just want to share a special moment I had the other day when I received this warm thank you card from a model I had worked with a week or so ago, she was fun and full of energy!I got all warm and fuzzy inside when this arrived in the mail, makes all the long hours of editing worth while when someone takes the time these days to actually send you something in the mail :)Thanks Kimmi-K love to have

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffetEating her curds and whey,Along came a spider,Who sat down beside herAnd frightened Miss Muffet awayI also found this killer zombie in the studio last night and I just had to take the time to shoot her, Jessi is such a good sport when it comes to this type of photography.I always seem to find a killer shot or two to have for the Halloween season and this year was

Well this is a different type of image for me to create, but unlike the girls I was able to pull it off... This image of Mike turned out wonderfully and the mood of the image is fantastic.As always comments are welcome, feed back is a good thing let's me know if I am on the right track.

What do you call it when things just happen, what happens when you have great eye contact, what happens when the look is just right, what happens when you have what you think is the right light, the right mood... Sometime things just come together, this image was overlooked the first two times through... Should it have been, I think not, it has that MAGICAL feel to it.So with me sharing this

Taylor is coming of age and has graced us with a wonderful performance in the wheat fields, I have been wanting to shoot this type of image for a long time, the weather was just right but I had to work fast to capture the images before the sun left us...Hey FYI If anyone is looking to keep up with my current portfolio here is a link to my ModelMayhem Page

Well not really, but Jessi is not wasting anytime getting down to business on Laura's neck.Having these two wild and crazy gals in the studio was a pleasure, and it's one of those things that you just don't want to end.I have more ideas with both of them in mind and cant wait till we secure all the props needed to make it happen :)Jessi had a chance to show off her new hairdo and I think she is a

Well I have been trying to get this combo together for some time now so with nerves frayed and a bit of sweat on my brow I got the dynamic duo in one place and the result is quite good if I say so my self...I had to fidget the shot some in Photoshop but the work was well worth the results, let me know what you think about the newest grand kids portrait!

Meet Jessi, a real classic beauty she has found her way to the Digital Darkroom and has had some wonderful images so far.I am looking forward to working with her again soon, she is a cutting edge girl that's not afraid to take a walk on the wild side...So far this year I have had many new faces to cross in front of my camera, I think 2008 is turning out to be a killer year for the studio, I have

I am having a hard time dealing with the facts of what transpired here the night of February 5th.As we always do when there is "bad weather" we tune in the local yahoos weather station to listen to what might happen type of forecast.I look at the weather map as they show it and it looks like it is going to slide to the north of us, well I was right it did, but by only 300ft way to close!We heard

Well here we are 2008 and I am still at it taking photos. I have developed a style and I have been working to get it perfected.I look back and I see that I started doing the "studio" thing back in January 2006 and my first subject was Shawn, now I look back at the images from that day I am so surprised at the amount of distance I have came...I owe so much to her for getting me going again on

Well I got the chance to shoot with Hayleigh today, we had fun and made a mess! With that in mind and I was wondering why each time the snow came down she cringed like it hurt LOL, So I chose to share one of the out takes along with her portrait.So Innocent, she is not fooling me I know the troubles this little stinker can get into.Bring on the comments! Thanks for looking.

Well it is a very frigid night here in Tennessee 20 degrees right now going down to a low of 15 tonight Brrrr... So with the cold in mind I had to come up with an appropriate image to post, as I don't have a model this week I will suffice with my Cherries on Ice :) I have further ideas but need someone to help me carry it out... Will it be you?Comments are welcome, and encouraged! Thanks for

Well first set of 2008 and we are playing a bit, I got Samantha a Interworks shirt for Christmas and this is the first time I got to shoot her in it.She was tickled to get it and it makes her feel like one of the bunch when she visits the office.So I was toying with some ideas and this is one we came up with, tell me what you think? comments are always welcome. Here is a few of the other shots

Well here it is 2008 and it just creeped up on us, I have had a wonderful year photography wise. I have had so many great things to work on and I am looking forward to have that many more in 08'I have been toying with this video slide show so I put together a few images from 2007 that helped me grow. I have made many contacts and I am looking forward to cutting edge images this coming year. I

Brrr.... Keeping with the Christmas motif, Shawn was such a good sport playing my sexy Mrs. Santa, so much playfulness and we had a great time making this shot.We are welcoming the holiday season here at Daniel's Digital Darkroom, and as Shawn blows in a chilly cold front (maybe all the snow we will even see)The tree is up and the cats are busy climbing it as if it was there own personal

...all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!Well this year Samantha is really in need of her two front teeth :) I was so happy to get to spend the day with her she is growing up so fast.I watched a Christmas special this morning and I still have the lost feeling that never goes away this time of year, I have done everything in my power but alas I have this ghost that will haunt me till I

Well I didn't get that one special shot for Halloween but I was able to capture Laura in the light of the full moon, well at least ala' Photo Shop... Shot was done on "Thunder Grey" backdrop with a blue gel on the back light for that blue glow.Laura was able to let me capture the mood of the moment, and Photo Shop lent it's hand for the stars and the inclusion of the full moon I shot in a

I want to take this opportunity to thank all who have helped me, either here in the darkroom or just in life in general, you know who you are as I try to give thanks as each event unfolds. Today as I am thinking of days past and things that have changed my life, I do miss those that have passed from this life but as long as we don’t forget them they are never really gone. Later today we will

There has never been a more proud moment in my life to see Ashley with her diploma. It has been an uphill climb for a couple of years getting her life back on track and making so many changes to get where she wanted to be.This dad believed in her and knew all along that she would make a good name for herself. She has had such a battle to get this and now it is her time to shine.I salute you for

Halloween, the best time to be a kid next to Christmas and everything came together at the last moment with the delivery of this studio drop... I was able to deck it out and get it down right spooky in the studio.Hayleigh and Samantha set out on their night of fun but before that I was able to capture them while they still looked there best.I was sure looking forward to shooting a bunch of scary

Well I had been thinking of new prop or two to help things out in the studio and with the help of my new buddy at work Mark I was able to get this fine red guitar and Target had this directors chair.Put them together with Raven and we made some great music :) it is truly hard not to get a good photo of Raven... She is a natural when it comes to this stuff and I am grateful to have her as one of

Welcome Aiden! well here is the scoop he arrived this morning at 6:31am he weighed in at 5lbs 8oz. and is 18in long baby and mama are doing just fine :) we had a short visit at the hospital and got to say our hellos.Robin (my neice) has a long road to travel with her new responsibility's, but with guidance from friends and family she should do just fine.

Well just in time the return of the exotic fan dancer to the studio; she is due any day now and I am glad she was feeling good enough to work with me. I do believe she will make a great little momma. I was able to get many great shots of Robin in the motherly way, this one struck me as a bit more sensual with the fan and the dimly lit face. Well soon there will be a new little one to chase with

Well it is finally here October brings the cooler weather (NOT) well it usually does we have had some late season heat/humidity here in the mid-south 90F+ but we will get past it...I am also looking forward to the Halloween season, I always get some great images this time of the year, so to kick off the creepy season what is better than this creepy old spider just hanging out in the front yard?
