headshot ~ rosalyn

The recent shoot with Rosalyn was a breeze. The ask was for fresh professional headshots. We got off to a great start and actually got the required shots out of the way right near the beginning of the shoot. I’ve found it usually takes some time and effort between both the photographer and the subject to get ‘the’ shots, especially when shooting someone for the first time. The subject needs to trust the process and let down their guard while as the photographer I need to find the complimentary light source, angle and pose, in addition to the camera settings. Our fast start allowed us ample time to relax, settle down into a groove and really have fun… and we got some beautiful images to prove it!

Headshots and shots of heads…

Happy New Year y’all!

In preparation for tomorrow’s shoot with Rosalyn (which is going to be a blast), here are a few of my favorite headshots that I have never posted on the blog. These particular headshots were all shot with lighting set ups, a mixture of both small flash on-the-go streetcar friendly gear or more elaborate set ups with bigger strobes.

2011 was one memorable year and I wish all of you the very best for 2012…

The flying pumpkins

A true story, we had to dodge flying pumpkins shot from a cannon during this impromptu shoot. We learned that safety on the farm is considered to be a piece of string strung between a few random low lying stakes. Tim and I go back decades… back to when we were wee ones running around in the nursery school playground. Now look at us dads, who would’ve thunk it!? Great to meet you lil’ benny!

Never too early to throw down the horns

A couple candid portraits. Both super cute. Both doing their owns things. Seriously, you couldn’t ask for poses like these.

i heart grandmas – part 2

Here’s another blog post/sneak peek from last weekend’s hilariously fun 90th birthday party / family photo shoot. To drum up the fun factor for the customary family group shots, there was not one but TWO prop/tickle trunks to choose from. From wigs, foam swords, mustaches and chalkboard bubbles, to light painting with sparklers, pretty much anything was fair game for the day (and evening)!
