who says?

who says you can’t mix color and black&white prints on your wall?

who says your frames have to match or be boring? who says you can’t have balance without symmetry?

I had to share this custom framed gallery — it’s got that certain je ne sais quoi (I’m pretty sure that’s French for “wow look at this awesome wall”). My good friend Becky and I put our heads together and came up with this super cool looking framed arrangement for her home.

Not sure what you’re going to do with your family portraits? I’m happy to offer suggestions or help you decide what looks good where, everything from print sizes to putting it all together. Email info@danglasgow.com to find out more

5.28.11 Amanda + Brandon :: wake forest wedding photographer

Sun, 12 Jun 2011 21:30:13 +0000

They say a little rain on your wedding day is good luck, but I was perfectly happy to have (mostly) blue skies and sun to photograph Brandon and Amanda’s wedding at The Sutherland Estate & Gardens in Wake Forest. We did have to run for cover during a brief shower while we we doing photos of the bridal party, but took advantage of the unexpected opportunity to capture some of my favorite images of the day. Congratulations to a really great couple — I was honored to be your wedding photographer. Also had the privilege of working with Hilary M. as my second shooter, and enjoyed DJ Randy Bennett of Joe Bunn DJ during the reception. Of course I have to share some photos…

3.19.11 Jody + Josh :: raleigh wedding photographer

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:49:21 +0000

This was a beautiful day for a wedding! Jody and Josh are so much fun to be around, and I was thrilled to document their wedding at Fairmont United Methodist Church in Raleigh and reception at Embassy Suites in Cary. It was great to have Amy T. shooting alongside too. Here’s a few favorites….slideshow coming soon!

sneak peek: Tyler : Raleigh senior photographer

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 18:21:38 +0000

this poor blog needs some attention! Fortunately I have lots of things to share, and since it’s a photo blog I’ve got some great images and not much to write…for today here’s a few my favorites of Tyler’s senior photo shoot. We started in downtown Raleigh…

I can’t resist a big red door!

Next we moved on to one of the awesome historic parks in Wake County — Yates Mill. It’s such a cool place to shoot but not exactly a secret…it was starting to get a little bit crowded there. We did stick around long enough to make some really cool images (and I think we had to break a couple rules to get one of them). Thanks for checking out the blog!

I know there’s a lot of gorgeous fall color to be found, but some things look just as good in black & white:

Thanks to Tyler (and his mom!) for coming out on a spectacular fall day.

rolling with it :: Wake Forest family photographer

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:16:30 +0000

As any parent knows, even the best of plans can get thrown out the window when the little ones are involved. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I’d say it’s one of the things I really love about being a child/family photographer (and a dad): making things up as you go, scrapping those plans on a moment’s notice, and not worrying (too much) about what’s coming next. When I started talking with Mom about what she had in mind for this session — wow, we had some really great ideas, and I was super excited about shooting. I have to say we didn’t get exactly what we talked about, but we rolled with it, got some awesome shots, and had a great time. Now that holiday cards have been sent out I can share a few of my favorites:

love the fall color on this one:

this family portrait is so perfectly not quite perfect, and that’s why I love this one (and Mom does too!)

this was part of the improvisational part of the session. I suggested to Mom that we do something with the chalk wall for her card, she grabbed the chalk, and voila…

Some of my favorite images happen “after” the session. I never rush through things, but sometimes even when I think I’m done, that’s when the magic starts happening. I think it was worth waiting for…

2010>2009, and 5 is better than 500: Raleigh family photographer

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:20:41 +0000

I am, in fact, still on the face of the earth.

The lack of recent blog entries might have made you wonder if the opposite was true. Some of the portrait sessions I do toward the end of the year don’t get blogged b/c they’re going to be on Christmas cards, so there’s no sneaking peeks of my favorite images, at least not until later. To kick it off, here’s a look at (part of) our holiday card:

I’m known to go off on a tangent now & then, and be forewarned this might be one of them. How many TV channels do you really watch? I don’t watch 500 channels. I watch 5 (bonus points if you can guess what they are). But I want them to look good, HD and 1080p and all that. I know the cable companies don’t like that, or else you wouldn’t have to buy the 495 things you’ll never ever see. You should be able to get what you want, and that’s where custom photography is kinda like that. I don’t want to shuffle tons of clients through and insist they only get to choose one package, one pose, one outfit. My clients get something different, something meaningful, and something that is tailored to what they want.

What else is new? A few changes, a tweak here and there, but ultimately I’m looking forward to making twenty-ten a great year. Even better than 2009 + 1.

Austin :: Raleigh senior photographer

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:54:30 +0000

I like to mix things up now & then, so what better way then to take a break from kids and weddings than a couple of seniors. Austin was first in line when his wakeboard competition was called off, and he lived up to everything I’d heard about him: fun, outgoing, relaxed. We talked about some different locations to shoot and decided on downtown Raleigh. I have to admit for such an easy-going person, he’s got some pretty intense looks.

don’t forget to leave a comment — Thanks!

I’m just gonna go ahead and say it: I love shooting at this park. Even on a day that was kinda cold, gray, and every now and then threatening to rain, I had a great time with the L. family, and got some great images. You guys rock! Here’s a few favorites:

I love this image
