Still Life--Roses

Here are a few shots taken in December of some roses. They were purchased for a special day, so we decided Luke should try out some still-life photography while we had something in the house. We are still waiting on the new baby to arrive, so our newborn shoot may not happen for another month yet.

A New Haircut

Here are a few shots of Kaden after his new haircut. Apparently he didn't sit still, so they ended up buzzing his hair. Keith and Angel wanted some pictures of his new look, and we got pictures of them as well. The hats and the train kept him entertained long enough to get a few shots of him before he was done. Look forward to some still life shots with the lighting set up we have!

Family Photo Shoot Part 2: The family of course!

Here are some single shots of the girls and a family shot from last Monday's get together with Luke's brother and family. We had a ton of shots to choose from, and these are our favourites. We are hoping to do another shoot tomorrow for friends of ours, so hopefully that works out well and we can post those later in the week. We are actively working on building a portfolio, and then we will start searching for clients. Stay tuned!!

Family Photo Shoot Part 1: Maternity

Luke's brother and his family came over at the beginning of the week for a family photo shoot. They are expecting their fourth child later next month, so we did some maternity photographs as well. Now we just need that baby out, so we can do some newborn shots!! The rest of the family photos will be up later, we still have some editing to do. Enjoy!

New Gear!

So, I'm excited! I've been wanting to get a better camera for awhile now, but I've been hesitant to sink the money into any of the new Sony stuff since they bought out Minolta's camera business. I was relieved to hear that after the buyout, they pledged to keep up the backwards compatibility with all of the Maxxum series hardware, but I still wasn't impressed with the alpha series, until now. They released the alpha 700 some time ago, but I was never in the position to buy one, UNTIL NOW!!! I picked up my new a700 this afternoon in Columbus, and have been messing with it ever since. All I have to say is; AWESOME! Now I just need a photo shoot to really run it through the paces. I just finished one a few days ago of my brother's family, but those are with the 5D. Look for some shots in the next few days.

NightSchool

In early summer, Luke took some photos of his sister's band NightSchool. This picture is used on their webpage, and was recently featured in their advertisement in the magazine Today's Bride: The Akron Edition. Luke is now a published photographer!!




The Nightime Sky

The first picture was taken Halloween night as the sun was setting. The sky had a gorgeous fall colour, and the moon was paired with Venus that night. The second shot was taken earlier in the month with Luke's new 500mm lense. It's like a miniature telescope!!
