Bridal Portrait session

This past Friday, I had the opportunity to do a bridal shoot with a wonderful young lady named Claire. We had a ball; we shot at the Rocheport train tunnel, Shelter Gardens, and at a private residence. I had some new equipment that really enabled me to go farther than I had before: I finally have a portable power pack for my studio strobes, so now I can go on location; I also have a second hot-shoe flash, giving me more flexibility in my location shoots.

I can't show the photos just yet (not until after the wedding), but I look forward to sharing them!

Fields

The Fields family reunion occurred a few days ago; a couple of days before that, I was asked if I'd do some family shots. Of course! Family reunions are a time when people are enjoying themselves, and a photo shoot can be a lot of fun. They are a very nice, close-knit family, and I think we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:












And of course, the dream-shot of kids world-wide:



The complete shoot can be seen here.

Jackie

Recently, I had the pleasure of making senior photos and images with Jackie. Jackie is a senior at Rock Bridge High School.

Jackie is an artist; as a result, she was in sync with me through the whole shoot. She knew where I was going before I could fully frame the words ("Jackie, would you tilt...perfect." "Jackie, I need you to...good"). That kind of synergy makes a shoot a real pleasure. We did several outdoor shots at multiple locations throughout Columbia:

In each shoot, I like to reach for something "outside the box," something that makes the series unique to that person, with a good match for their personality. I think we found it (I love this shot):

After we were done, we did some studio work to reflect her love of Tae Kwon-Do:
