January’s cover for The Executive Controller! Photographed in a hangar in Minneapolis, MN. Lots of help from Chuck Spanbauer. Of course, thanks to Dallas Jet International. Good luck on a quick sale!

Taylor Greenwood has been busy.

So busy, that he’s discovered a need to organize his time and travel schedule into a regular tour.

Taylor and his crew photograph aircraft regularly at the Oakland County International Airport, Waterford, (near Detroit) and Dallas Love Field; as well his home airport of Appleton Wisconsin (conveniently, the home of Gulfstream) and nearby Wittman Regional Airport, the home of EAA’s Airventure show each year.

This Friday, my fiancé and I will donating our time to photograph the annual “Shall We Dance”  fundraiser for the Sexual Assault Crisis Center here in Appleton. It is our goal to help raise awareness of an issue that seems to be sometimes overlooked. We love the opportunity to photograph anything and everything, especially something related to such a great cause.

The event itself is not aviation related, but we thought it would be good to share with everyone out there that if you ever need your aviation event photographed, we are highly qualified …

Good morning everyone! Just the other day I had the pleasure of meeting with a friend and pilot from Orchard Beach Aviation in Manistee, MI. He came over to discuss some photo options for a new website and marketing campaign they are working on.  While chatting over some delicious pizza from Franks Pizza Palace, Rob and I decided it would be easiest if we could just take care of the photos here. (Maybe hey was conveyed to visit again because he liked the pizza so much. For Orchard Beach Aviation, we’ll be doing exterior, and interior shots as well as …

When I attended Hallmark Institute of Photography in 2007-08 there was what seemed to be a universal goal between all of the students. To become excellent photographers and travel to places they’ve never been before and photograph what they see along the way. I have been very fortunate at beginning to meet that goal, only, instead of mostly documenting what I see, I ended up photographing private jets and other luxury aircraft.

Having started out in Westfield, Massachusetts many of my initial clientele were New England based companies, and individuals. We would …

This is an exciting entry for me to share. The following images were all taken by my good friend and assistant, Ian Pouliot. A photographer from Western, MA. We get to work together from time to time and it is always a true pleasure to work with him. These are a few shots from Ian’s blog. Please take a moment to see what goes on behind the scenes. Ian takes fantastic pictures and does a great job illustrating what we see while we’re on a shoot. This is a chance for you, as a viewer to see some more exciting …

Aviation photography is our job, but it’s not just a job. It’s a life experience for us. An opportunity to meet people from all over the world. To learn about different lifestyles and cultures. Photography is what I fell in love with years ago and am so grateful to be continuing on with it as a business. But again, it is not just a job.

Thanks to all who have served, are serving or are planning to serve.

Exactly one year ago, I joined forces with Paula Williams from Aviation Business Consultants. “She published our first article titled Announcement – New Aviation Site”  Since then, I have seen my business grow into something that my thoughts couldn’t even conceive a year ago. The credibility that her work has given my business is wonderful and I couldn’t be happier.  Once a month we get together over the phone and brainstorm about what we’ll do with the up coming months and see what kind of ideas and great things we can bring to the website and blog.

I’m truly grateful for …
