So Lindsey, the older sister, calls us up and says that she and her sister need a nice portrait for their parents for Christmas. They also told us that they haven’t had a good portrait in a long time. Given their youth, I explained that a “long time” is ten years. 🙂
They were both a lot of fun to deal with. They got some nice photos for relatives, and even a couple for themselves.
Nita called about doing some maternity photos with her daughter in the picture. Lexi was very cooperative and is looking forward to the birth of her baby brother (or sister – they didn’t want to know in advance).
We think this is a sweet picture, and are looking forward to meeting the baby.
How do you get ten children to all look at the camera and smile at the same time?
I’m not sure either. But somehow, I did. And this little group was a portrait for their grandparents as a Christmas gift. They purposely dressed in blues.
From the first moment we set eyes on Santanna, we fell in love.
Many of you may remember her from the 2007 Most Beautiful Baby contest. She was the winner. She had a lot of character and was full of life then… today she was sassy and still very full of life.
She’s quite the little model and we always enjoy seeing her. Her mother and grandmother were very helpful in keeping Santanna in her new outfits. We’ll look forward to seeing Santanna again in the 2008 Most Beautiful Baby contest.
What a cutie!
So we get a call, and it’s Heather – one of our favorite clients!
She’s due soon, and we’re looking forward to seeing the new baby.
So the studio was invaded this evening…
By about a dozen girl scouts – ranging in age from about 7 to about 17, plus about five parents.
In the past, we’ve been asked by local Girl Scout troops to provide a portion of their Photography badge by training them, and giving them something to do in the photography area. What we did filled both parts of what they were looking for.
For the first part, I talked about the main light, fill light and separation light. I showed them how the main light works, why the fill light is necessary and how big a difference the separation light makes. After a few questions, and some funny moments, I set it up so that each girl would take a picture of another girl in their troop. I took the picture of the first girl.
The girl who was the subject took the next picture of another girl. And so on.
The last girl took a picture of me.
I’ve looked better.
I’ve looked a LOT worse.
🙂
Olivia’s mother called and said that Olivia is auditioning for a fashion show and needs some pictures. I said sure, and we ended up spending about an hour with this dynamic young lady taking photos for her portfolio and as headshots for her auditions. This particular photo wasn’t part of what they needed for her headshots, but it was really cute.
What is the most unique gift you’ve given your spouse as a holiday treasure?
Gwen decided she wanted to give her husband the gift of a portrait of her. How very thoughtful. We did quite a few poses with Gwen, and she was pleased with all of them. For the picture above, we did a little spot color to make things stand out a little.
This young family came to us after they’d won a gift card at the Huntfield Fall Festival. They were getting some photos for the holidays and of course wanted to be together for it.
Chris was more interested in having a few casual photos along with his traditional tuxedo photo for the yearbook. So, we did a few casual photos. He graduates in 2008, and seems to be pretty happy about that.
