Meet the Christian rock band “Slaves To Righteousness!” - oh so talented! Check out their facebook page! This is something new for me – boy band photos! Shane and my son Jacob have been friends almost ever since we moved here in 1996! (we used to be neighbors until we moved in 2007…we miss not seeing them all the time!) He’s also the son of the Pastor of our church! So I offered to update their band photos for them. We *HOPE* to get outside and shoot some more in the near future, but we did some quick studio stuff. Zach Shane Sam They were super FUN and up for anything! (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!

Miss Jena! {the rest} | Minneapolis Natural & Studio Light photographer

Here’s the rest of my session with beautiful Jena! (btw…pronounced “Jenna” rather than “Gina”)

When Jena booked her session, my first question was how old are your kids? To which she replied she didn’t have any – she just wanted photos for herself! Fun fun!

She was very natural in front of the camera! And she had very unique & pretty eyes – see the little fleck of brown/gold? Totally looking like Liv Tyler here, don’t you think? Totally Justine Bateman here….? Gorgeous! I got the Lensbaby out again! I find myself getting easily frustrated with it, but I do like a couple of these shots. Love the softness to them.

This one I tried something different – shot on the gray seamless still, but added a texture to it. Hmmm….gotta keep experimenting with that! Then we got the ring flash out and played in the studio room a bit! btw…used the 20 degree grid for about 1/2 of them. tried something a little different here too w/ some cross-processing. and used Pioneer Woman’s “seventies” action here – then ctrl-alt-U and made the lightness like +16. back out to the gray seamless again – which was looking a little blue at times, but I was digging it because the tones went really well with her outfit. It IS winter in MN, so we braved the elements for a few shots! Thanks so much for coming Jena! You were a blast to work with!

Happy New Year 2010!

I made the kids take some New Year’s photos yesterday. Of course they grumbled at first, but then they got into it and had lots of fun!

I used my ring flash and put up a red curtain from Target (hung on a backdrop stand). The other accessories were from the $1 section at Target or were left over from other years. T-shirts from Old Navy.

Claire took these last two photos!

Hope you had a great New Year’s eve celebration! Out with the OLD, in with the NEW – hello 2010!
