Family Fun

Graduation season is here and Hannah and I participated by photographing a family with two university seniors. They graduated from two area universities so we were able to capture several different locations and groupings of mom, dad and the two graduates. This is one of my favorites; they’re just goofing off enjoying the moment on a bridge. No one is concerned about the cameras or how to pose or where to look – just life together in the moment. I love these opportunities to be a part of a family and their journey through life! Congratulations and best wishes to you both!

Photographing People for Business

I confess, I love working with people. It may be trite, but I believe it; everyone has an inner and and outer beauty that we can capture and show to the world. It is simply amazing how each person is unique, and I love the challenge to create unique photographs of each person for whatever use in business they might have. Of course, there are certain expectations and we work within those in general. That just makes it more fun! The most important part of photographing an individual from my perspective is the goal of creating something that makes that person feel great about the way they look and project in the world. If I succeed, then the photograph portrays something unique about the person that they themselves believe is true and important. Hopefully, you see in my work some of the result of all this; beautiful people who are enjoying life and expressing themselves in the real world.

My friend Robert Fischer over at Keller Williams hosted a day of headshots for his team as well as fellow Realtors; here are a few of those photographs as well as a recent individual session with Kim.

Headshot Marathon

Last week we put together a day of headshots over at Coffee a Deli on N/ Lamar. It’s a very nice little shop with great ambiance and character, and the owner is wonderful. Besides coffee, the have sandwiches and soups and awesome desserts, all homemade right there. You really should go check them out! We used the front meeting room and took portraits of people who signed up for the special deal. Here are a couple of my favorites:

Of course, my grandson had to come by and help, so I grabbed a traditional business headshot for his web page along with all the others. It was easy – he adores lights…

Donovan’s Business Portraits

On Friday I photographed Donovan for his web site and printed bio; we enjoyed talking and working to create just the right headshot for his uses. I like to capture a range of expression and poses with coat on and off, formal, informal, full-length, 3/4-length, head-and-shoulders, smiling, laughing, serious and fun. It was great seeing his eyes as we reviewed the images together, knowing we had accomplished what he was looking for. Go check out his personal training website for Busy Women Bootcamps and get to know him and his business.
