saw these on a blog/forum i’m a member of and had to post. they are from a company named red bubble and they have some really fun tshirts.
you probably won’t get them if you’re not a photographer but then inside jokes are half the fun:
i told you i had a bunch to post from my off camera flash practice sessions (really, i only have 1 more session to post. hang in there). this is sydney and her little brother gabe (who makes a cameo appearance due to his mother’s pleading). gabe and jack were in the same preschool class last year and were pretty much joined at the hip. we don’t see him as much; it was nice to be able to take photos of sydney while the two of them played. sydney was a terrific model – except for when i told her to look serious and she burst out laughing. thanks, sydney
sarah and alex were my very first clients back in march of 2006 when i needed to do some portfolio building. their mom, amy, was a friend of a friend and – as we soon found out – used to work with jeff at the first agency he worked at out of college. fast forward 4 years and alex and sarah are practically grown up. i see amy around town a lot but rarely see the girls so it was such a shock to see that they weren’t little kids anymore.
the first four photos are sarah and alex from way back when and the remainder or from our shoot a couple of weeks ago:

Thanks Kristin! I love them. Particularly the girls together. We all had fun!
judi brought her three kids over to my house a few days ago to be my flash guinea pigs. jake and bernie were great but it was little esther who killed me. i love her impish smiles in the photos – i only just met her but i’m pretty sure these capture her spirit:

I love these! We were just thinking of Jacob – don’t tell but we got him a bar mitzvah gift here in Italy!
are you sick of the flash practice photos, yet? i’ve got a bunch more coming so….
this is my son, jack. jack-jack, jack attack, JACK (said through clenched teeth), goofball and silly willy nilly. he’s the universe’s way of teaching me patience…5 years down, 13 more to go.
clearly these photos are not creative and even reek slightly of a session from olan mills. i wasn’t concerned so much with the composition and posing as i was with trying to get the amount of light where i wanted it to fall. some shots worked, some didn’t. clearly in the rim lights one i need to move the light back because i didn’t get the rim light all the way around (it’s missing around his jaw). but i continue to plug away and am determined to learn this. i have a few more sessions this week and even two sessions i’ve already done and need to post.
