Lauren and Lucy

Yee Haw!! I don't know about you, but I like horses. I have had many an experience with horses, mainly good, but some bad (like when I was walking behind one and it decided to relieve it's self). I got an email from Lauren's brother, who's wedding I will be shooting in the Spring, saying that his sister needed to get her senior photos done. I jumped at the chance and was even more excited when they asked me to come out to the horse farm where Lauren rides. They own a horse named Lucy, who is absolutely beautiful. We brought Lucy out to shoot with Lauren and ran around the farm and took a ton of shots. It was a lot of fun seeing all the different horses named Meatloaf and Big Mamma... Here are some of the shots from that day:

James the Kidzilla

James is awesome. I shot him at a rock star event that I was the photographer for and he was kinda mellow until he got on stage to rock out. He jumped up and his hair was everywhere. I was jealous. Well... kinda. I don't think I could pull off hair that long.

We went out and shot at Frame Park in Waukesha, WI, which had a lot of really cool things around to shoot on and in. We ran around for about an hour and made some amazing photographs. He was open to do whatever, which generally ends up being a recipe for great shots. Once someone can get past their inhibitions in front of the camera, it makes the photo process so much easier and generally better. Here are a few of the photos we made:

Seniors!!! 2009!!

Ahhhh!!! This past week and a half has been crazy busy. I have shot quite a few seniors and am still getting requests for more. The thing with seniors, and I get this, is that they like to wait till the last second to do stuff... well, at least I know I did. I got my senior photos shot at a studio in Minneapolis, one of the cheap studios, right before they were due. I enjoyed my shoot and the shots that I had, but looking back on it now, the photos really were not that great. I got a change of clothes or two and got to bring in my guitar, but they just ended up looking blaa now that I look at them.

Anyways... I digress... Seniors, if you are waiting for your photos, and you shot with me in the past week or so, I will have your photos up with the speed of Michael Phelps... or something like that... Anyoldways...

It rained yesterday and that was kinda annoying. Granted, I cant complain because I am not in Texas, where it is pretty crazy right now, but I had a shoot to do. Because I work during the week, weekends are my bread and butter. If it rains, I am kinda screwed. Well, yesterday I improvised and set up a studio in my spare bedroom at my house and shot some head shots for the yearbook. My senior was amazing! A lot of fun and I am looking forward to the real shoot, that will be coming up in a week or so (if it doesn't rain). Aight... enough rambling, I need to hop in the shower and get going for the day! (p.s. I do not encourage hopping in the shower... you could get hurt)
