Whew!

  Alright, so a bunch of shoots back to back (almost) and a trip to the beach and I’m just now getting caught back up from the beginning of the month!  Well, keep an eye out for another dancer shoot coming (thanks Jessi!), a boudoir shoot (thanks Kara!), a senior shoot as well as Prom (thanks Erin!).  I’ll work on getting these up soon!

  What?  You didn’t know we did boudoir?  Well, there is a big gallery on the site…  …no wait, there’s not a gallery, well not yet, we are doing some free boudoir shoots through the summer in hopes of launching boudoir in late summer, maybe early fall.  Do you want to feel good about how you look, empower yourself as a woman, embrace who you are??  Let me know, we’re still looking for help in this area.

 

  Until later,

Michael

Something different…

  I am a people photographer, interacting with people, bringing out their personality in the photo, coaxing out another personality they want in the photo, it’s half of the fun.  Oftentimes people walk away from a photoshoot feeling better than when they arrived, more confident, sexier, their head held a little higher maybe…

  I know a lot of photographers who are great at their craft, very talented people, but won’t photograph a human to save their life!!  But the landscape images and flowers and macros and still-lifes they create are amazing.  Every once in a while I force myself to try to see the personality in something that I can’t talk to and coax it out of, sometimes I succeed, sometimes not…

 

These flowers seemed to be basking in the last rays of the sun, aching for it’s warmth before the light gave way to darkness and cold…

In the shade of a stand of trees this little one spread its petals as wide as possible in a desperate plea for attention, this bright tiny (about a 1/2” across) flower screaming to be known…

This last one stood confidently in the sun, strong and tall, showing off it’s clean lines and almost European good looks…

Do you think that any of them walked away from their session more confidently?  Take a look next time you see them and let me know…

ps:  when is your session?
