Dayschool Staff Shoot

December 22, 2008 | Category: Headshots | Leave a Comment

The staff at the dayschool our daughter attends is very dedicated.  We’ve had nothing but good experiences with them and are very happy with how our child is developing there.  So, it was a special pleasure to do their staff shoot.  They were looking to redo their brochure and website but made it clear they didn’t want to have the standard “mugshot” look most staff shots have.  Luckily, the building they use has a beautiful courtyard in the center and we were able to set up there.  We also ended up shooting the director of the school in the chapel, which turned out just lovely.   I’ve only posted a few of the shots we did, but they were happy and we were happy.  In fact, many of the staff ordered reprints to use as for their personal gallery at home!

Beautiful Sisters

December 21, 2008 | Category: Baby, Children | Leave a Comment

These two little girls are the daughters of some very old friends of mine.  When they decided to get new pictures done of the girls, I was so happy that they called me.  Chad and Debbie dated all throughout school and I’ve known them about as long as I can remember.  He’s handsome, she’s beautiful and they have birthed some of the most photogenic children on the planet.  Their sons will have their hands full with people wanting to go out with them when they hit the teenage years.

Both of these girls did terrific. We did a very informal studio shoot and started with the baby.  Her older sister jumped in about halfway and you can really see how she loves her little sister.  I honestly don’t think either child could take a bad picture, even if they tried.

Some of my favorite shooting models are Phillip and Beth.  Not only are they close friends but they are currently pregnant with their second child.  Recently, I found a great abandoned warehouse downtown and had been dying to take some shots inside.  I’m planning on using it for senior shots next year and I wanted to try it out.  Luckily, Phillip and Beth were needing some pregnancy pictures while I needed some models.  Despite the winter cold, we headed down there a few days ago and got some wonderful shots.  I’d taken quite a few pictures of Beth over the past few months, but this shoot was the first time Phillip jumped in.  As you can see below he not only photographs well, but he really let his personality out to connect with the camera.  Both of them are extremely photogenic and easy to work with.  We couldn’t have asked for a better shoot.

Lia and Keenan

October 1, 2008 | Category: Children, Family | Leave a Comment

Several days ago a friend dropped by who we hadn’t seen in a long time.  I’ve known Lia since I was in the 8th grade.  We grew up together and have been friends for longer than I can remember.  They live about a mile from us and sadly we haven’t seen much of them lately due to everyone’s schedules.   It seemed like fate stepped in when they came over right as I was done with a shoot for a client.

Even though it was short notice, Lia let me talk her into a shoot for Keenan. We look at Lia and her daughter, Keenan, as members of our family.  We really tried our best to let her naturally friendly personality show on each frame.  You can really see how good of a job Lia is doing raising her and how much love is between them.  Enjoy!
