poignant pauses

Hey ya! I'm around busy but around!

I have lots of fun images to share probably be back later today hopefully! Some really funny stories too like the session I did off Cape that the beach disappeared and he ended up having to take off his pants (yes he did have on the cutest pair of boxers) to get to some sand or the wedding that not one but TWO of my camera's died!!! A few sessions rescheduled due to the crazy weather ugh! But I even shot some images in what looked a bit like a throne and a bowling alley so it was an exciting and different week!!!

Look what i found a neat new way to share images.  I need to do some more digging for images since I don't usually keep older images on my computer(There is one from two years ago not sure why that was still around but there it was. ) So not a lot of variety but still fun for those that cant' view the larger slideshows.

Some great quotes from clients this week too.

Well the session made me feel really good, I was a little afraid you would have to coach me a lot because that was my first professional photo-shoot but your coaching helped me a lot and made me feel awesome, I relaxed and had a ton of fun.

I love the images more than I thought I would, I couldn't believe how amazing they are. And each time I look at one I find something new I like about it.

We had so much fun,can't wait till the wedding!

We were referred to you by the ---- family. Last year you did her senior picture and we were blown away by the quality. This is my third senior photo, and none of the others are close to the quality.

I've never had pictures taken off me that I liked and I love these.

I just wanted to thank both you and your husband for the wonderful job that you did at our wedding. Most of the time, we hardly knew you were there! We can't wait to see the images! It was such a nice day for us! Thank you for being a part of it!

can't help myself

I just love so many of her images so here is a few more,I'll have to share her slideshow when I'm done.

This image doesn't look like much here but full size it's amazing then it' s Bw or color ugh!

I had to cancel a session  yesterday due to the rain which is always disapointing, so to fix that crave(yes I do crave shooting it's addictive to me) I spent a few min playing with my new light.  It has a great fashion feel I would never use it for an entire session but I think it's going to be great for serious fashion images.

My little Bambion vogue of course in an outfit of her making she is the queen of style Cheeky is.  Francesca could totally model she loves being in front of the camera.

   

Now off to answer emails before I have to head out

Ok finally had some time

to catch up and so I was able to get to those images I mentioned. I'll try to add a few more tommorrow.

some it's hard to decide color or Bw or sepia (she has a preference for sepia)

feel like a kid at Christmas

Summer is always a busy season for Cape Cod photographer and so I've made a rule for myself no dipping into new sessions till I've processed older sessions.  But it's sooooo hard!!!!! I did a session tonight with a beautiful young woman and darn it I want to go through the images already!  She was amazing and we captured some great in the water images that I'm so excited about. Pooh I feel like a kid at Christmas.....

I'm excited the details for the trash the dress shoot I mentioned forever ago is starting to come together. I have some locations set, but I'm still looking for an old house/motel to shoot at. I would prefer an old peeling paint,vintage wallpaper house(kind of hard to come by on the Cape) because I want the images to have a romantic feel but hey here on the Cape when it comes to old decaying buildings beggars can't be choosers.  If anyone knows of a spot I would love you forever if you would email or call.   

Here is a sample of this type of shoot

originals and models

Loved the images from this session,we really tried to get that hollister A&F look for quite a few of them, so I processed many of them that way. Don't forget though I always show them as regular process as well as done artistic too so he just has more choices. This session was for a young man who is just getting started in modeling. It's so funny I mentioned a few posts ago how I liked to shoot regular people over models well now I'm going to be doing both and I think I have changed my mind, I am enjoying both. It's going to be fun working with make-up artists I hate keeping track of the small details(make-up hair etc..) which is why I love parents going on the senior sessions they make up for what I lack. Models will make it super easy just because they know how to use their bodies. Like lighting how you position your body creates different moods and can also be attractive or unattractive but it is a skill you can learn. I don't mind coaching posing at all and I do it a lot but it is a nice switch to have someone just know once in a while.

As always we do a mix of images with more of a traditional feel to them.

Which lastly this post brings me to an incredible creative artist, truly one of kind,she reminds me of Amy Winehouse, Phoebe Snow,THEE Aretha not that she is copy of them but that she is so original like them. No one can copy their sound.

Some photographers are like that too their work just has that stamp you know in second whose it is and they totally stand out in a crowd and everyone tries to copy their "look".

I am so in Duffy's music right now YUM!

Here is a slideshow I created with one of her songs.

I swear everytime I hear this song on the radio I would tear up and when I stumbled across the video tonight sure enough.....

Crazy

This session was rained out once so when it looked like rain again.... I thought oh well bummer but she really wanted to go for it so.... I thought ugh I don't want to get backed up the next few weeks are super busy so.... I also went for it. It was wet and cold and she was a super good sport. I had to keep wiping my lens but it was worth it I think we captured some beautiful images.

She was crazy beautiful! I've just started processing this session and Wow it's going to be hard to choose which images.

rain rain go away!!!

Darn rained out again....

I thought I would stop drop by and remind every one just few days left to enter the contest! I will be drawing on Monday.

Dont' you just want a portrait in my new chair!!!!! It's perfect for the free Senior Session. I haven't even given this a true run it would look so cool in so many locations I'm so excited about it! It looks like it came straight of of a anthropologie catalog. Which is one of our favorite catalogs(free people and mini boden are also ones we drool over). I could take one of everything please!

Hey how cool is this???? My husband Chris in the news! LOL!  You can see him for about two seconds,still the kids thought it was neat anyway.   He is a network administrator works a lot with Cisco. He does programming,automation scripts and some utilities. It's a green company that really is making a mark growing super fast.
