we heart our neighbors : flash experiments

Filed under individual, portraits • Written by browns @ 4:45 pm

We’ve got the bestest neighbors! Not only do they give us eggs when we’re in the middle of baking and realize we have none left, they’ll let us perform photographic experiments on them. While the kids were taking turns racing around in the coveted Kotyk car, we flashed the neighbors …

If you covet our amazing neighbors, they could be your neighbors too! Our townhouse is for sale. You can check out our MLS listing here.

rock star mama : free maternity session

Filed under maternity, promotions • Written by browns @ 9:33 pm

We have an idea for a maternity session that we’re eager to try out so we’re offering a free maternity session ($200 value) and 15% off any products you purchase.

We are looking for a fun, outgoing rock star mama who is 28 - 36 weeks pregnant who will allow us to photograph her and use the pictures in our portfolio. If you are shy about exposing your belly or are envisioning soft and romantic portraits, this is not the session for you. We are after an edgy look and would love to have your partner participate. If he has tattoos or toned arms we’ll be extra excited.

We have openings on Wednesday, February 27th and Friday, February 29th at 1:00. Please contact Darcie for more information.

it runs in the family : xander’s first slr portraits

Filed under personal • Written by browns @ 9:32 pm

Xander, our 5 year old son, showed an interest in snapping a few pictures this weekend. So we carefully handed over the d3 and snickered as we watched him grunt and stagger under the weight of the camera. He carefully lined up his subject, snapped the shutter and then quickly checked the playback. We admit that we’re 196% biased and are pretty darn proud of his great portrait composition skills! Check out our favorites pictures from our little hot shot …

the alien bees have landed

Filed under fun stuff • Written by browns @ 11:08 pm

It was an exciting night last night - we finally got our shipment of Alien Bees strobe lights from Nashville! They’re small and cute, quite powerful, and easy to setup.

Ready for the unveiling…

One of the lights we unpacked, called a ring flash, produces very unique images where there are no shadows except for a soft outline around the subject.

We did our first shoot and they all worked perfectly. We’re buzzing with happiness!

father’s daughter : cd shoot

Filed under band, family, headshots, portraits • Written by browns @ 8:24 pm

The Fasts are some of the most talented, down to earth people we’ve worked with. I’ve always wondered if they have a couple sound proof rooms in their home for all the music practicing that goes on - voice, piano, violin, guitar, keyboards and who knows what else.

They asked Jason to take some photographs for their newest CD. They were looking for something artistic, classy and fun. We’ll post their final cover and a link to their gospel music website when it’s all ready. In the meantime, here are a few of the photos from their session …

valentines day: red + white

Filed under personal • Written by browns @ 11:26 pm

We had a super cool valentine’s day evening with a red + white theme - red candles, white candelabra, red and white roses, red and white checkered tablecloth, red wine, and red cinnamon hearts. Xander had a blast helping with icing and putting red sprinkles on sugar cookies. Dinner was an amazing spaghetti with meat sauce that takes literally all day to make - and it was yummy!

fossum : family portraits on the beach

The Fossum family has spent many hours on Crescent Beach and decided it would be the perfect location for their family portraits. We agree. The weather was perfect and the view of the mountains was stunning.
