Larry's Random Ramblings

I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Matt and Amber several years ago.  I was excited to hear they would be having a baby and offered them a “First Family Portrait”.   These images, done in black and white, are so dramatic and timeless.   It was great working with them and Christopher.  Christopher liked to sleep, which is good.  It’s easier to photograph a sleeping baby than a crying baby.

This cute little girl was brought in by her grandmother.  Like all kids, you have to work with them a little.  What was funny is that I actually got down on the floor next to her to show her how to pose.  Whatever it takes to get the shot…

I had the privilege of photographing Debbie’s wedding several years ago.  She has kids now and brought them in for a Christmas session.  Children are always a challenge, but when you put two together, it compounds the challenge.  You just have to work with them and let them have some fun.  It is very much, “go with the flow.”  My concept when I talked to her on the phone was to do something with them reading a book.  After we jumped them up and down several times, they settled down enough to look at Christmas book together.

Eugene called me on the phone one day interested in getting some portraits made. He told me about his interest in antique guns, particularly black powder. That gave me some ideas. At the session we did some “normal” pictures with the guns. Then I told him about my idea. I wanted to create something that had an “old west” feel to it. Think OK Coral. We fired up the fog machine and got a great shot.
