Hey all, happy Monday! I wanted to make a quick post before heading out for the day to photograph some really cute kids. Last week I got to meet Vu and Lan Bui aka The Bui Brothers, from Southern California. I heard them speak one evening, then got to hang out with them at a workshop the next day. Wow, what a great couple of days I had. These guys are just plain fun to be with and are so knowledgeable. They don’t hold back and show you/tell you everything you want to know. As a photographer, if you ever get a chance to attend one of their workshops or hear them speak, jump on it! And, of course if you’re going to WPPI (Kathi raises her hand, yippee!) in a couple of weeks, you’ll see them there as well. Anyhow, gotta get out there and shoot today, so here’s just a few fast images of one of our fantastic models that day.
Cheers!
I don’t even know where to begin with this post. I’m still trying to catch up from the holiday season on blogging and showing off some of the fabulous sessions I had. This session seemed like the perfect place to start. It was a crisp, sunny, magical lighting kind of day in November when I got together with these gorgeous girls. Not only are they beautiful, sweet and fun, but they like to play around with clothing too! It doesn’t get much better than that. Well, actually, it does, because two out of the three are dancers as well. Fantastic! I would also like to plug the dance studio they attend because it’s such a great place, Napa Regional Dance Company. Along time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I danced with the Executive Director, Wanda Martin McGill. Wanda is an exceptional talent and you can also catch her at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill. Now I realize this is a very long post, but let me explain. Brianna and I ended up with more time together that day because the other two girls had to get to their afternoon dance class. So, Brianna and I kind of had our own private shoot. I didn’t mind in the least! Makes sense to start with Brianna, yes?
Meet Sophie.
Isabella.
They’re great together.
Happy New Year everyone! I’ve been absent for awhile. Like most other photographers, I had a crazy, busy season, thank you! I also took a couple of weeks to ‘just be’ with my family and friends. It was wonderful. I’m back and ready to go now and thought I would start the New Year with a post of a personal nature. It is my blog, and I can play if I want to. And so, just before the Christmas break from school, my son Evan was bestowed with a most coveted prize, the bass clarinet! For those of you who have musical children, you will know how fun this is! For those of you who don’t, just enjoy this boys happiness with me if you will. Evan’s middle school music teacher purchased a brand new bass clarinet for the school and dedicated it to him for the next three years. I think you can tell from these images how happy this made him. He was actually hugging this thing! He plays this beautiful musical instrument for anyone who will hear it. We had several Christmas parties in December and he played it at every one of them. Even when my brother was playing his guitar on Christmas night, Evan went to his room and set up the clarinet and played along. Go Evan, go, the world is your oyster son, you’re beautiful and I love you so much!
So here’s to a new year of beautiful music, loads of love, and lots of beautiful images to come.
Thanks for looking,
Kathi
