Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at 07:59AM The fabulous Melody and her adorable family. Love the grey. Love her style.
Playing with harsh light a little bit, (instead of running from it). I like how it turned out.
There's a little story about this last one, that I posted on Shutter Sisters today, too. Have a great day peeps!
Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 11:09AM Sorry to anyone who's expecting Crapshoots today; I got nothin'. Mostly because I haven't shot anything personal since Halloween. But also because weekly events are hard for me to keep up with. It seemed fun at first, but evolved into yet another deadline. SO, Crapshoots will re-appear randomly, whenever I have a good one. Hope you'll all play along then.
I have so many Red Sofa Sessions to post, but I'm going to mix it up in-between. My friend, Shannon recently hosted a Hot Mama shoot at her home, and it was so fun! I can't say enough about these shoots. For one, such a fun day of playing dress up. But it's also something that I really believe in. Moms are too often invisible behind their camera lens. AND, I PROMISE you that there is NOTHING your hunny would want more for Christmas. So, if you're still thinking about it, let me know: admin@relishportraitstudio.com, because there is still time to book. And if you do your own hair and makeup, you only need to get 3 friends together (total of 4 peeps vs. 6).
I was so thrilled that Shannon gave me permission to post these, because I think they show the range of how you can vary your shoot. Some shots for the office. Some for the boudoir. :)
My favorite.
And going from Hot Mamas to Veterans, may not (or may be) be a fluid transition. But I still wanted to say Happy Veteran's Day! I hope everyone takes a minute to remember why we have the day off today. Well, those of us who are not photographers, anyway. :)
Monday, November 10, 2008 at 10:19AM I love my job...I always get to meet the most interesting people. Here are the cute Balcers. Jenn runs an an amazing site called Splitcoast Stampers. And if you haven't heard of it, go check it out! If you are crafty, it's a little bit like scrapbook cocaine.
Thanks you guys!
Friday, November 7, 2008 at 10:06AM Another Bay Area photo shoot that Melissa coordinated with her friends, Erin and Sean.
New baby, sweet family. :)
Thanks you guys, it was so fun working with you!
Is everyone ready for the weekend? ME TOO. Have a good one y'all!
Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 09:28AM Thank you for all the nice posts and emails about Emily's new do. Now that a day has passed, I'm over the shock...and also wishing it had happened in time for Halloween. She could have been a monster truck driver, or racoon hunter, or one of the brides from Redneck wedding. Jason took her to the salon to have it fixed. And I know he told the stylist to keep it as long as possible. But the result is that she now looks like the mom from One Day At A Time. I see another trip to the salon in the future of Miss Bonnie Franklin.
Okay, onto some family photos. Her are the Ortiz-Wilsons agan. I met Jackie and Ryan for their first maternity session. They were (and still are) the EEEEEASIEST family to photograph. They are totally connected, and fun, and Ryan completely adores his girls. They are all the sweetest.
Thank you Jackie and Ryan! And if you all have waited to schedule your Christmas session, there is still time! I don't have any weekends left, but there is availability during the weekdays. Call soon! 210-259-3271
