Senior Shoot for Lambert High School

I had a need for some High School Senior Representatives for Lambert High School. The White family came right to my mind. I have known their family for over 10 years now and I know that they currently have two girls at Lambert. Macy invited her friend Taylor to come to the shoot. Below are a few shots I took during the session last week. We first went to an open field of Ga 20. It is an abandoned paintball facility. It has great "big" shots and has perfect lighting while the sun is fading away after a long day. We then proceeded to shoot at downtown Cumming.
All of the "field shots" were taken with my 70-200 2.8L Canon lens. I shot them with my 40D at 2.8 and 1/200 of a second. I have an on camera flash set to 1/8 power as well as an off camera speed light set to 1/4 power.

Kayla's Senior Session

Check out our latest High School Senior Session.
Kayla shoot was very fun! We went to Pooles MIll Park in Cumming. There is a million places to shoot around this park. Cascading waterfalls, covered bridges, and a wonderful riverbank.
It is never too late to book a session.

Triplets!

Wow - I thought photographing single babies could get hard! Although this was a difficult photoshoot, it was also extremely fun! These three precious babies were very photogenic and actually slept for 1/3 of the shoot.
Enjoy!

Photos in a Dungeon

Let me tell you something - When I was ask to shoot at "The Ice" in forsyth, I was excited for the challenge. I have always head that taking pictures on the ice is a very difficult task. And it was. I had to bump up the ISO to 500 when using the flash (Individual hockey player). 1600 when using no flash (the boy and the father picture). This was a "try out" for me to be able to shoot their team and individual pictures during their hockey season. Guess I passed, I will be shooting them in March.

Bianca and Tristen

It is always fun taking pictures of engaged couples. It is even more fun to take them of family you have never met before. Bianca is my Aunts husbands daughter. Bianca and Tristen lived out in California up until recently and I had the privilege to meet them and shoot their engagement session all in the same day.

They are a really fun and trendy couple - so taking these pictures was exciting and entertaining.






These were shot on a road off James Burgess near Settles Bridge. I regularly go here to fly fish and have alway knew it would be a perfect place to shoot engagement sessions.

Covenant Christian Basketball

Took the Varsity and Junior Varsity Basketball teams and individuals at Covenant Christian Academy this week. I had three off camera lights. An Alien bee at 1/4 power pointed at the basketball goal and the side of the player at camera right. I also had two speedlights with an umbrella and a softbox on either side of the player at 1/8 power. This created the effect I wanted to have the player "pop" out of the photograph with the hoop/net in the background illuminated just a little.

Flying High!

We went to North Carolina this year right after Christmas. It was a great time to hang out with the extended family and play on the beach with the boys. Here are a few shots we took during an amazing sunset!

Snow Day!

It never snows in Georgia.... But last week was the "Blizzard of 2011". I think the last time it snowed like this in Georgia was 10 or so years ago. I know my boys both really enjoyed playing and sledding in it though!
