Matt, Jen and Cooper

October 28, 2008

Sunday I had the pleasure of working with some friends of ours. Matt, Jen and baby Cooper. Cooper is 6 months old and growing fast! It wasn’t too long ago Jared and I were in visiting and holding the newborn! Jen was up for some family shots and some shots of Cooper just enjoying himself. Cooper is an awesome kid… or Matt is a really good clown… Needless to say, solo shots of Cooper were not a problem as long as Matt was behind me doing what daddys do best!

Here are a few of my favorites. First some family shots…

Daddy and Me…

Mommy and Me…

Now a few of just Cooper… What a cutie!

Thanks guys for the opportunity to work with Cooper… I hope we get to do it again soon!

Miss Katie – Class of 2009

October 23, 2008

This was my second senior session on Sunday… I’m not going to bore you with crazy narrative. I’ll just say that Katie and I had an absolute BLAST downtown. This was my first time shooting a senior in downtown Lancaster. I’ve been there with wedding partys and with just my camera… and now I have a whole new set of scenery to add to the blog. Enjoy the many “faces” of Katie!

Again, the rest of the images from her shoot can be found in my client proofing page.
Until next time!

Kortnee ~ Class of 2009

Okay… you may have seen the preview so now it’s time for some real photo action. It was great going through these shots since alot of this area was new to me. It’s fun to work in a new location because you are forced to explore and see what you can find. Between the two of us I think we came up with some great little areas, both wet and dirty to get some great shots. I had some fun playing with these too so quite a few this time have been manipulated a bit.

A nice headshot. There was just something about the sepia coloring, it just made her eyes pop even more than they already do. You will probably notice I fell in love with Kortnee’s eyes… WOW!

Trees are always fun to lean against!

This is one of those photos that I think looks much better in black and white than in color…

Fun little spot we found! We also have some shots on this fallen tree… it was a little challenging but we pulled it off.
Some color play

Another fallen tree

Covered bridges can be a real challenge. They are usually pretty dark inside, requiring blinding flash, sometimes they can provide the right depth of field and shadow. There is just something about how Kortnee pops in this shot… the background is actually pulled from the otherside of the bridge… we both liked the look of this on the back of the camera.
Creeks and streams and water of all sorts is fun!
Changing the pose up a bit… love the bridge in the background – great idea!

EYES!

Kortnee yelled at me (not really… just sorta gave me a weird look like I was crazy!) just nano-seconds after capturing this. One of her friends gave her a ring and I happened to catch that perfect “teenager on the phone” look! Love it!
Final shots for the blog. Two good close-ups.

Thanks for the fun Kortnee! Good luck with your senior year!
The rest of the images from Kortnee’s session can be found in the client proofing section of my website (link is on the main entrance page – where you might have clicked to come here)
Stay tuned… Katie’s senior session from downtown will follow shortly! There’s also rumor a session with Cooper in the near future… the first little one to sit on the other side of my camera!
