Busy Busy Summer Selection
Being busy with travel, then working to support the travel, and a little adventuring thrown in as well has kept me from having much downtime lately to post to DGrin, and I've been a little disappointed that this is the case! So just to make sure I don't completely disappear from the forums, here's a brief view of some of the people stuff I've managed to get in the last month or so. Feel free to comment and critique, I'm at a stage in my photography where I feel I'm improving a good deal, and I certainly don't want that to stop, so speak up if I'm still missing something! 
First I'll share my first shot at maternity photos with a cousin of mine. We've always been close, and when she said she hadn't considered maternity photos and wasn't very interested, I teamed up with her mom and my wife and nagged her until she relented. On a sad note, the father is out of the picture entirely, but we got some results she was thrilled with and completely changed her mind about the shoot.
Next shoot, we headed out with a friend of mine from high school. I shot her wedding as my very first one, fresh out of school and using my old Fuji point-and-shoot, and then she went and had twin redheaded girls to go along with the one boy he already had, and now a few years later they're quite the beautiful family! I must confess though, while scouring my brain for a prime location to shoot, I randomly browsed across one of Heatherfeather's shots that happened to be in the area we intended to go, so I stole her location. :rofl
Next up was another family shoot with another set of friends. This one we pounded out in the first unobscured sunshine of the fall, and at noon to boot. Lighting was tricky for sure, but I feel I managed to salvage a couple at least!
And then early this week I pounded out a portrait for a magazine we landed a contract with, and then headed straight from that to go shoot some friends of ours that I figured were worth shooting pictures of.
So anyway, I'm still around and still shooting! Hope everyone enjoys this brief post, and we'll see if things slow down enough to shoot and post more come winter. :thumb
