This little dude and I have been hanging out for a few years now, but this session was probably one of my favs. Basically, we just let him explore and do the things he wanted to do and we followed along. He loves his parents. He loves is little go car. And he loves apples! {Still my FAV from this session}
Oh man…just realized I never shared the images from his session at the Pinkle Toes photography workshop earlier this year! Silly me!
And some super fun behind-the-scenes pics from that day:
[images by myself, Claire, and Michelle]
What fun it was to look back at these images! Fantastic group of ladies and so much talent, it was unreal! Oh, and it rained like you wouldn’t believe. So much so, this happened. Miss you girls. Miss your humor, too 😉. In case you wanted to visit it, here are pics from our newborn session from this workshop. Oh, by the by: one of these ladies from this workshop is actually hosting the Charlotte, NC workshop!!! Awesome!!!!
While we’re on the subject of workshops, just wanted to remind you (or let you know if you didn’t already know) that today, November 1st, is the last day to qualify for the $100 discount for reserving your spot in a 2013 Pinkle Toes (only) workshop. If you need the full details (dates, pricing, etc.) fill out the contact form on this page.
Back in 2011, I had the pleasure of meeting Megan Grommes of Megan Crown Photography (Twin Cities) at one of my professional family photographer workshops. Totally out of the blue, I got this note from her a few days ago:
I read your blog post about lighting and people’s houses and wanted to share this: That was one thing I feel I learned from the workshop and PT4P – finding light and making it work in client’s houses. I love this session. The thing is – there was literally NO LIGHT except for one window. Before I would have freaked out! However I was calm and used that one window for all it was worth and I really liked the results – so thank you for your mentorship! I appreciate what you had to teach us.
Megan…that was super cool to hear and man, I love that session, too. I think you did a phenomenal job of working with what you had. The way you used the light captured the perfect amount of emotion and drama and yet, it’s still soft and newborn-like. Well done!
In case you all might like to see some of the work that Megan did at the workshop in Austin, here are just a few of my favs from her:
And, for goodness sake, please be sure to check out Megan’s phenomenal birth photography as well. You’ll be glad that you did!
Regarding the 2013 Pinkle Toes workshops, the deadline is literally just a few weeks away to receive the first $100 discount, so if you want to reserve your spot, you’ll want to do that ASAP.
P.S. I think most photogs out there already know that this is peak holiday season right now, so my communication on the blog and e-mail is going to be sporadic at best ;-). [Of course, I do still Instagram a lot, LOL, because it’s faster and easier and doesn’t require me to be at my computer or using Lightroom]. I have gotten several e-mails wondering if I’m still going to follow up with my little experiment and the answer is of course! I just need some time to sit down and write out a thoughtful response. Thanks so much for your patience, gang!
They say the grass is greener. So I had to take another look. If you’ll recall, I switched from Canon to Nikon in 2010. Now, two years later, I guess I must be getting bored ;-). Thought I’d do a little side by side comparison with my Nikon D700 50mm 1.4 (which I currently own) and the Canon 5D miii 50mm 1.2 (just because I hear all of my colleagues raving over this camera). I’ll let you know what my personal verdict is in the follow up post. Meanwhile, feel free to weigh in…
Also…still gauging workshop interest and possible locations for 2013. You’ll definitely want to check out THIS PAGE and fill out the form “let me know” if you want to be notified when we decide.
AMAZING! The weather was spectacular, the ladies were kind and intelligent and creative and talented, the food was incredible, and the clients/models were outstanding. Everything operated like a well-oiled machine and I wouldn’t have changed a thing about it. (The girls are probably going to kill me for the butt shot up there, but I couldn’t resist 😉
Day one of the first workshop of 2012 was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Today, we’re going to be traipsing all over Austin photographing families and exploring our beautiful city. It’s going to be a loooooooong, but productive day!
