Jamie

I usually have a lot of fun getting out and just shooting for fun but man, was this session FUN! Jamie and I started out kinda' stumped. She knew what she wanted for the re-design of her new web presence and head shots to match and I had in mind a quaint little white chapel to start us off but when I realized the old, antique doors had been replaced with new fiber glass doors complete with mismatched windows I was sorely disappointed. BUT then we found loads of other spots that I was able to use to get the desired effect that Jamie had in mind. I love it when I can thrill a client (even if she is my sis in law and probably wouldn't say if I had totally failed ;) with their photos and it was so wonderful to hear Jamie say how amazingly perfect these photos will be for her new site. Ah! Such a great feeling! I am so thankful for my gift and for God's grace in letting me feel that wonderful feeling of blessing others through his creativity! It was a GREAT session!

Glimpse - Jamie

I am full to the brim after getting to spend a day with my awesome and talented sister in law Jamie! Here's just a glimpse of some of the fun we had today;

More to come!!

2010 Fourth Light Senior's & Portraits!

 

I love doing senior sessions and portrait session and this year I got to do some new things with them including helping out my sis in law, Jamie with her workshop as well as working with Clint a couple of times on his commercial head shots.

 Lillie was awesome... she always is :)

 Oh and I can't forget Liz's session... I sure do treasure my time with these seniors. It's just such an exciting time and Liz made me remember just exactly what I felt like when I was there, in her shoes.

Clint's Back!

Clint and I went out for another shoot to do some head shots for his Broadway portfolio, this time sans cowboy hat, guitar and beard. We went for a more contemporary look in hopes of marketing him to a broader spectrum in the entertainment industry. Can I just say, Clint is easy peasy to shoot! He loves doing photo sessions and loves the camera... and the camera likes him a little bit too :) Oh how fun this shoot was! My friend Rachel came along to glean some photo tips and sport the reflector for me, thanks Rach and Clint worked it out behind the camera. What a great evening!!






SUCH a great laugh he has!



Singing his heart out:

Another Favorite

Oh, and one more!!

Clint

Clint's going to be a Country Western STAR. For sure. He is charismatic, charming and above all else he is an outstanding singer! I was stoked to do his shoot. I had all kinds of ideas and scouted spots to take him and he was up for it all! What a great subject he was. He and his mom brought tons of outfit changes and he was even willing to shave his beard off at some point in the shoot if I thought it would be a good change for some of his shots. I spared him the task of shaving in a parking lot, you're welcome Clint;0) I am so happy with what we came up with and Clint's handsome face is a much welcomed addition to my portfolio! If you are in the Coos County area and like country music be sure to catch Clint performing at the Colgate Country Showdown and Performing locally at several events throughout the summer.

Clint {Sneak Peak}

So those of you who are faithful followers of Fourth Light (all two of you ;0) know that when I do a single shot sneak peak it's important 1. because I am so excited that I can't hold back long enough to edit a whole post worth and 2. because it's going to be good... real good! Without further ado here's Clint's sneak peak... oh and the rest are going to be good... REAL good!

Hauser Community Church

I love my church. I love the people and the friends that I have made there over the past five years and if I were ever to pick a group of people to fellowship with in lieu of my childhood church congregation the people at Hauser Community Church would be second to none. I really enjoy using my gifts to give back to my community so doing some updated head shots of the pastors and staff at HCC was my pleasure! I am envisioning a whole wall display of these images near the foyer of the church as a "get to know us" corner where newcomers and members can become familiar with the faces that lead the church with diligence and grace. While I know head shots are a necessary evil (I just had mine done a couple of weeks ago) these guys really do well in front of the camera!
