My wife rocks!
Warning this is going to be a big post. After last week’s sneak peek of these two, I got a lot of people asking me if they are a gothic couple and if they hired the mime to follow us around on this shoot. The truth is that mime just happened to be walking by while we were playing around downtown. Really this session turned out really great and has made me even more excited to shoot their wedding in May.
For those that don’t know I am working on a photo a day project, and this morning the fog gave me some ideas that I wanted to try out. Since there were a few I wanted to share I decided to post some more here. To see the photo of the day project click here.
Getting to know Matt and Mitra was a lot of fun. The thing that was most impressive to me though, was how tough Mitra was, out in the below freezing weather. I felt like my hands were going to freeze off and I had a coat and boots on.
Matt lives in China while Mitra lives in California. So as you can imagine when they get together its hard to separate them. We did this shoot at Matt’s grandparent’s cabin. The location was just beautiful.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas.
Last week I had the awesome opportunity to second shoot a wedding with the great Julie Parker. It was a lot of fun to see her in action and to get more wedding experience. Weddings are so much fun. I love to be a part of the couple’s special day. Thanks Texie and Cole and especially Julie for inviting me.
This year has been a lot of fun. I got to know a lot of great people and have done some fun, interesting shoots. Here is the last family session of 2009. I don’t do a lot of indoor locations, but when its below freezing and the family has a beautiful little new born baby, you’re forced to find a warm windowed location. The Salt Lake Library was a perfect solution. The little girls were perfect little posers. Without any direction they would put their hands on their hips and throw their chin towards their shoulders. It made me laugh every time. Thanks again Jacobs.
Sometimes its hard to be happy and smile when its freezing cold outside, but this family did a great job. When looking at the little girl you might think she wasn’t very happy, but I think if you considered how cold it was, I am amazed she didn’t bawl her head off when the blanket was taken off. In fact, I loved the stoic look that she would give me. I never had to fight for her attention though, her eyes were glued to my camera. I love finding new places to shoot, and this blue wall was really fun.
Max is such a funny little guy. His parents told him to give his skinny face, which looked a lot like blue steel, and I literally fell over laughing. I was very happy with the results from this shoot.
My awesome wife is designing their christmas card which I’ll post here after they have mailed it out to everyone.
These girls are awesome. Not only are they sisters, but after spending some time taking their pictures, I could tell they are also best friends. I really enjoy shooting this age group. If you want a Best Friends shoot I have some fun ideas for you, so give me a call.
I posted the sneak peek of this family a little while back, and forgot to share some more. So here you go.
