This is a completely unrelated post as it is about Lumiere Imaging (Megan and my photography company) but I include it here for a few reasons.

First, I love the archival aspect of blogs. Megan and I have redesigned our photography website about 10 times since we launched our business in 1999. Many of those designs are long since forgotten. Some can be found online in various historical archives while others we more diligently preserved on our own. With a blog, however, content is almost never lost (within the blog, on an internet archive, within various server backups, etc.), so I tend to post things that I want to remember.

Second, Megan and I care deeply (very deeply) about making travel a constant presence in our own lives, and more importantly, in Caleb’s life. He loves to travel and we love to travel with him. Accordingly, we are opening our business (lumiereimaging.com) up to take on more exclusively travel and documentary photography commissions, whereas previously we would only take on wedding or small portraiture work.

Third, in looking at our photographs (granted, the following is a bit awkward to point out about one’s own work), our travel and documentary images represent very honestly a lot of what makes Megan and I tick. And indeed, whenever we travel as a family, or on our own, we always come home changed in some mild or noticeably profound way. Caleb shows the same growth during our adventures, a result we strive to maintain by committing to take a healthy number of trips every year.

So, click on the below to browse through a few of our new home page images (they appear with a randomizer script on the Lumiere homepage) which are focused on documentary and travel imagery. We’ll be updating our portfolios in the next month or so and will also start to pursue this type of work more actively. (Shameless plug: If you happen to stumble across this post and want nothing more than to secure us immediately for a documentary or travel project, please contact us on the Lumiere Imaging contact page. – Thank you!)
