Come Dancing

The first male dancer model in my career walked through the studio doors recently. The first thing I noticed about photographing a male dancer is the poses were different from when I shot a female ballet dancer earlier in the year. The male had more strength but also possessed elegance. Enjoyed the experience and everyone got the shots they needed. 

Maternity Shoot with a baby girl

This past Sunday morning, I photographed a maternity session. Their young daughter proved to be the biggest opportunity to exploit - although at times, it was hard to wrangle her pose (or not pose). In the end, we got a few images of her doing what kids do... and mom is happy! 

Two Families with one camera

Last Saturday, I had back-to-back family shoots. Both were a delight to work with. I'm finding the hardest part of doing shoots like this is getting the children to behave and pose correctly. In the end, the candids, non-planned shots turned-out best. Getting Dad to tickle the son caused a positive emotion to capture vs. the serious staged and posed shots. The shot with the son on Dad's shoulders turned-out fun when I asked him to cover Dad's eyes.
