I really have no business blogging, but couldn’t resist these cuties!! We had a little mini-shoot in my new garage studio yesterday. When I say mini, I mean like 20 minutes for both of them. And, when I say “garage studio” – I mean right alongside the lawn mower, cooler and stroller parking area (it’s really not as cool as it sounds). 20 minutes, that was it-THEY-WERE-SO-DONE-WITH-ME! (I’m not really ashamed to say that I bribed the two year old with batteries for her Elmo).
These aren’t my traditional style, but it was fun & this is the set-up I’ll be using for Janie & Jack next week . . . so, wanted to get it all set up! On that note . . . if this more in line with your style (i.e., your house is a little more modern) . . . or you just like it – email me now! If I get enough inquiries I’ll set up a mini-session day just for these. I think this first one would be a perfect Christmas card. Look at all of that negative space on the left for design work, which is exactly why graphic designers like this exact set up for editorial work. Just check out Parents magazine this month – every other page is shot on a white backdrop. I just looked through my mail yesterday, Parents magazine, J.Crew, Boden, Crewcuts, even the Anthropologie catolog (2 back) was shot almost entirely on a white backdrop.
Same studio set-up, different lighting (same 20 minutes). This is probably more in line with my decor . . . just a little softer. I kind of like it for babies;o) Just sweet.
ps – planning on posting mini-session info for the holidays in the next couple of days!! Sorry it’s so overdue. Should be fun. Can’t wait to see some of you again;o)
pps – I am officially booked up clear to the holidays (yes there are a couple of you that aren’t on the books – but if you’ve talked to me – I’m including you in my count). I could work in maybe 1 or 2 evening sessions during November and I’ve been trying to work in newborns & maternity as I can. Other than that – please book a mini-session (esp if you just want Christmas cards).
ppps (?) – It will be quiet around here the next couple of weeks as I take a break to do contract work for Precious Time Photography & shoot for Janie & Jack’s fall promotion. Go spend some $$$$ in Janie & Jack & I’ll see you there! It’d be nice to see some familiar faces:o)
