I am so lucky to have friends like these ones. For reasons that will remain a secret (right guys?) they didn't get their photos last year. This year however, they gave it another go and we got some really cute shots. I tell you it's a lot of fun to get 5 people looking and smiling one way (at me) in such an enclosed space. Thank you Selwood Family for everything this year!
I had the pleasure of photography two very well behaved dogs on Friday night. One of my brides to be asked me shoot a few photos of the two family members who will be missing their wedding since it takes place overseas. she wanted a few photos to include in her guest book. So earlier in the evening I wrangled up my cats and and brought the dogs down to my studio. They were so good. Photographic Naturals!
I had the priviledge of shoot 4 very well behaved children. These kids were cousins and don't get to see eachother that often. MY little studio managed to fit 4 children and four adults. Needless to say it was tight, but we all had a blast trying to get all four kids to look the same direction and smile.
Ann contacted me earlier in the week to do a fun family shoot. Originally we wanted to go outside, but on the day of the shoot it started to snow. Ann called me on the saturday to change their location to inside the studio. Quite frankly it was nice to shoot in a warm and dry place. The studio however needed some quick work to get ready. IT was having it's annual fall cleaning to get ready for heavy use in November and December. They looked liked they were having so much fun. Thier laughter was contagious and I couldn't help myself but to join in the fun.
Madchen Studios was asked this year to donate their photography for the local Musical Theatre. We went on location on October 29 and shot 26 groups in just under 3 hours. My husband (and second shooter) was instrumental in making the night flow so easily. He was my director, props manager, lighting tech and assistant. The photos turned out awesome and I believe we produced some nice images for the program.
I have been wanting to blog this entry since last month, but I wanted to get permission before I posted any of these couples photos online. Emily and Blair contacted me in the summer to do some enagement photos for them in the fall. The day that we chose was windy, but we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting. the fall colour were rich and bright. Emily was beautiful and I would have to say the Blair makes her glow. These two could definately teach a class in how to be the perfect couple, because that's exactly what they were!
I had the pleasure of shooting an old friend and her daughter. Sheri warned me from the get go that Katelyn was crabby, so I was rather surprised when she wanted to hold my hand on the way to the first location. At her age she was more interested in everything but getting her photo taken. We managed to get a few good candids while she was playing. It's a good thing sheri has a great smile at a moments notice because she had to be ready as soon as her daughter was. We played at the park for a a bit and then went back to the studio to take some more shots. My daughter blew some bubbles to keep katie mesmorized for a second or two. That girl sure looks like her mom!
Back in April I had the priveledge of shooting a lovely girl named Ashley. The portraits were taken to replace the grad photos that she had taken at school. This was my first shoot with my studio lights. I think everything went well and It was a lot of fun. I am excited that we finally went through the photos and chose some images so that we could finally close the file.
In my wedding photography class we were asked to document a party. I decided to have a few people over for cocktails before we headed to the policeman's ball. We got a few photos in and were really starting to get into the mood to take more when we got interupted. There was an emergency at work and one or two of us had to leave abruptly. After the ball we came back and snapped a few more. These are our results.
I had seen a photo that I really liked earlier and wanted to reproduce it. Thinking that I wanted to keep things simple and spur of the moment, I took a second on friday night to shoot. No make up, and I didn't do any primping, the only prop I had was a pearl necklace that I wore to my wedding. I am excited to share these shots with you. Enjoy!
