Shannon, Part 3


Portrait of Shannon

Another photo with Shannon, from our morning together.  Shannon made it so easy to get great portraits, as we shared stories, laughted, and experimented with lighting and poses.


Shannon

I spent a couple of hours with Shannon – and had a great day taking pictures, experimenting with light and movement, and of course chatting!  Thanks Shannon I appreciate your patience, as we moved from one light set up to another. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get all the images processed.


Taleeta, waiting to smile……..

She’s a pretty girl;                                                                                                                                                                                                              her eyes smile just like she does:                                                                                                                                                                                     softly and often,

haiku by Ociel Guadalupe.

While Taleeta was not smiling in this picture she did smile often and easily during our photo session, and the haiku by Ociel seemed appropriate. Poetry can be an inspiration for photography, or a photo can be an inspiration for a poem,  either way there does seem to be a complementary aspect.


Business Portrait, Dr. Neville Headley

A person himself believes that all the other portraits are good likenesses except the one of himself. Edvard Munch
My friend was happy with his portaits!  One of the interesting things about doing portraits is the time I get to spend with each person, hearing the stories of their job, the places they have visited, and their interests. Listening to their stories really does make the time go by so fast, I often wish I could slow down the clock………….

Mom and Dad,

While we were travelling together I had an opportunity to get some great pictures of my parents. We enjoyed spending the week with them cruising the Carribean, seeing the sights, and getting dressed up for dinner.  Hopefully it won’t take 5 years before we find time to make another trip together!


Beautiful Britney

yes I have been doing a lot of portraits lately, a great opportunity to work with so many great young ladies! I have learned so much, met so many great people and joy fills my life!


Keri and the Hat

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
– Dr. Seuss

Keri helped us out on Sunday with our portrait workshop, one of the other photographers brought a couple of hats! It was a little big but it was a great prop!  Of course the hat is enough to trigger thoughts of Dr. Suess, his books are not only full of great entertainment they are full of life lessons for kids of all ages. Best of all, they are fun to read out loud! 


Fredau, Poetry and Dancing.

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.                         Carl Sandburg

When working with Fredau we wanted to create some great shadow images, she was wonderful and exagerating her movement, her shadow was like another model on set.  It was a great excercise to experiment with light, movement and  personality.

Daddy’s Hands

I have been working of family pictures taken for Penny and Paul just before Christmas, but there has been some long days at work, and little time or energy for creative pleasures!  This photo is one that could speak to many people.  We all know that while Daddy is holding is little baby girl, she is wrapping his great big heart around her little finger!
