Well we got our chance for the outdoor session last night  and it was super super fun!!  My friend Jennie joined us and she was a huge help!  Thanks Jennie!  :-)

Shane (far right)  is our pastor’s son and this is his band.  They won “battle of the bands” to win a spot on stage at the MN State Fair, so congratulations guys!!  They are playing TONIGHT at 7pm so check them out if you get a chance!!  It’s a great opportunity for them!  they were totally willing to do anything we asked!   They look like they are running from crazed teenage girls or something!  ;-)   Sam the drummer Zach – lead vocals Shane – guitar & vocals  A shot of Jennie in action.  She was using a fisheye so can’t wait to see this image!  fun stuff! Here’s my shot!  (btw….used my 24-70 for the whole shoot)  I told them to pretend like they were fighting here…hehe! Once we started losing light a little bit (around 8pm) we worked w/ the strobes more.  I was using a vagabond II, alien bee 800 (set to 1/2 power), a 60″ shoot-through umbrella and pocket wizards to fire the light.  I like how it turned out!  yeah, this was before we lost the light obviously….but actually was only like 15 min before the shot above.  Just depends on how you do your camera settings.  :-) used a strobe on this shot too. Love these two!  Oh, and jumping was their idea!  They got some major air!  (and landed pretty hard so we only did it twice!)Thanks guys for having Jennie & I be your official band photographers!  haha!  It was a fun change of pace for both of us!  :-)  

btw…………..I posted a lot more photos on my Facebook “Photos By Robin” page.  Click “like” and become one of my FANS!  :-)

(some serious stuff here…haha!) Of course phones were going off, texts coming in, etc.  ahhh, teenagers these days!  I feel so stinkin’ OLD!  haha! {plexiglass} Striking some poses… Thanks for coming guys!  It was fun!  :-)

I just had an idea on the way home from work today! I’m off next Thursday 1/21 so I’m going to open up my house to whoever wants to come for a 5 minute session for a head shot! It can be for yourself, your baby, your toddler, etc. Max 3 people/session. All proceeds will go to the Red Cross for rescue efforts in Haiti. The sessions will be free, but I will be taking donations (hopefully $20+ or so per person?) I’ll run the sessions from 9:30am to noon. I’ll edit up to a max of 5 images per person and will just e-mail you the files directly.

Contact me through my website – http://www.photosbyrobin.com/ – contact section – and let me know your name, email, and what time you think you’ll come. Then I’ll send you directions to my house. All photos will be taken with natural light on a white or neutral background.

Come over and support a good cause! :-)
