Daddy’s Little Girl

cj — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 02:12:08 +0000

I’m a lucky man, I have two that I consider Daddy’s Little Girls. Only one of them isn’t so little anymore and the other one is growing up way too fast. At last week’s shoot my little one showed interest in assisting me, so she did for a few shots before the call of Littlest Pet Shop grew too strong. Tonight she assisted me again as I tried out some Strobist techniques using a sb-26 and a sb-600. After a while the call to be in the picture grew to strong and I was oh so willing. The “monster” picture needed some photoshop but the rest are essentially as they came out of the camera. I truly enjoy these moments, as I get to spend time with my favorite girl, I get to share my passion for photography, and I get to learn something in the process. Whether these images are any good doesn’t matter because they encapsulate those three ingredients, making them the best images ever.

Breast Cancer Awareness Project

cj — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 04:17:10 +0000

My New Year’s resolution has been to shoot more with a purpose, especially if shooting TF*. So I’ve been trying to shoot new people whatever they like in exchange for shooting a project of mine. One project that I am starting to really enjoy is the Breast Cancer Awareness Project. The women who have posed for me are phenomenal, beautiful, and on top of that, really good people. I love this kind of collaboration, and if it draws attention to a serious topic, so much the better. I haven’t decided if all the images I shoot will wind up in this post, on a page on the website, or posted as I go in order to draw more attention to the cause.

If you are interested in posing for this project, you can contact me using the form on this website. If you would like more information about how you can help fight Breast Cancer, visit these sites:

Chelsea Photoshoot

cj — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:31:59 +0000

While we are waiting for Crystal’s schedule to clear up, Chelsea and I figured we could get together and shoot. I looked over all the ideas we had thrown out to each other over the year and wow! There were a lot! I picked my top 5 and Chelsea quickly agreed.

This shoot was different as Carrie was not here to help out. Chelsea did a great job with her hair and makeup and I did my best to get the shots we wanted, and move on. Sometimes I’m a bit of a perfectionist and keep shooting, and shooting, and shooting. After a while, no matter how much you tweak, the energy dissipates and no amount of shooting will bring it back.

I’m really excited about the results we got! We also shot for the Breast Cancer Awareness project, which I will post at a later date. She also shot some photos as a Valentine’s Day present for her boyfriend. Their anniversary is on Valentine’s Day so I bet he’ll really enjoy the present!

Candice Photo Shoot

cj — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 23:29:17 +0000

Candice and I had been trying to schedule a shoot for nearly a year. Both of our schedules have been rediculously busy. It was totally worth the wait though. We managed so many looks and had so many amazing photos right out of the camera! She’s a natural and I think these photos show it.

We had tons of ideas that we didn’t get to so I hope we get to shoot again very soon!

Whitney Photoshoot

I finally got to shoot with Whitney. She was a lot of fun to shoot with! She’s creative, easy going, and beautiful. Who could ask for more in a photo shoot? She’s friends with Jenaliegh, which I can easily picture, seeing as how they are both easy going, kind, and lots of fun.

I like how these images came out, I think you see a lot of Whitney’s personality in them, especially in that smile!

I’m Flickr-fied!

admin — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 15:48:01 +0000

Since Santa brought me Adobe Lightroom for Christmas, I have been cataloguing all of my old shoots. As I’ve been rolling along, I’ve decided to update the blog by importing my old photoblog text with some updated photos from the shoots. Up until now I’ve used a Word Press plug-in to host images and put them into a nifty slide show. Well no more! I have officially joined the land of Flickr, where I can join the Strobist group (like I need to drink any more of that Kool-aid!), post my images, and with a few clicks, enjoy other people’s work as well. I feel a little nekkid right now, for the most part this site and my work have been seen by friends, family, stalkers, and a few others who stumble onto it. Putting things on Flickr open me up to all kinds of trouble: image theft, critique, more stalkers. I’m keeping my fingers crossed this isn’t the case. I’m hoping maybe I can meet other people who are like me who like to try to capture beauty in its many forms, learn about light, and push the technology to do things it wasn’t meant to do, all while having fun, meeting cool people, and learning all along the way.

To be continued…

Krystal Photoshoot

admin — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 03:25:35 +0000

Originally Krystal and I had talked about shooting for the Breast Cancer Awareness project and other types of shots. We had a slight change of plans when she decided to bring a college friend along with her to the shoot. Krystal didn’t think the friend would be comfortable with the shots we had been talking about so we decided to do it another day. They had been having all kinds of adventures: the bad ice storm knocked out power to their hotel, so they weren’t going to stay there, every other hotel with power was booked so it seemed like they wouldn’t have any place to stay. Krystal is from the Capital District so after a few frantic phone calls she managed to find a place to crash and another friend to hang out with for the weekend.

Since the friend tagging along was last minute and considering they still had their luggage with them in the car, we did a quick introductory shoot with some of the things she had brought, including a Christmas themed outfit. Afterwards we talked about when we might shoot next. We’re hoping for February break. I’m looking forward to it, Krystal is great!

Jackie’s Shoot Part Two

cj — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 05:16:24 +0000

We shot a lot and got very good images! Jackie was very happy with the results as am I. I appreciated that she shot some images for the Patriotic Pinup project. I will probably post them at a different date. It seems that Jackie never takes a bad image, so hopefully we’ll be seeing her again soon!

Jackie Shoots Again Part One

cj — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 06:43:07 +0000

It has been a while since we’ve seen Jackie but we were relieved to see the camera still loves her! We shot so many different looks with so many great images coming right out of the camera, this is going to have to be a two part post. We hope you enjoy the images as much as we do!
