10 Minute Twins Shoot

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

My wife was the first to find out that we were having twins.  She didn’t tell me for an entire week.  How ridiculous is that!?  A couple of days after she found out, we had a 4 day camping trip planned in the Uinta Mountains.  The whole week we were up there, she didn’t mention a word of it to me.  That’s impressive.  Apparently she wanted me to see the ultrasound that showed both babies.  Let’s just say that I was shocked, when I finally found out.

My twin girls turned 1 year old in February, and we decided to take them out for a photo shoot.   As  you have probably guessed from the title of this post, my girls would only stay still for about 10 minutes.  Even though the shoot was short, we had a lot of fun, and we were able to really capture their personalities.

WPPI Wedding Fashion Show Photography

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

We arrived home from WPPI late last week.  Since this was my first time going to WPPI and my second time going to Las Vegas, it was quite the experience.  For me, the best part about attending WPPI was spending 5 kid free days with my wife.  I absolutely love my 3 children, but this was the first time we had spent an extended period of time just as husband and wife since our first child was born about 4 years ago!

The first day we were in Vegas, my wife noticed that there was going to be a fashion show.  I told her I didn’t want to go.  Guys just don’t go to fashion shows, especially guys that grew up in a small farming community!  Everyone would think I’ve gone soft!  Well, I lost that argument, and I’m so glad that I did.  It ended up being one of my favorite events at WPPI.  Since I’ve never done runway photography, it was a fun challenge.  To make matters more interesting there were about 60 other photographers fighting for the best position to get pictures.

Here are some of my favorites.  Which do you like the best?

(Be sure to hover over the images with your mouse for my thoughts on the shot.)

Vandi’s Winter Bridal Photography: Star Valley Wyoming

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Was it brisk?  Yeah, it was really brisk, but I was prepared.  Gloves, hat, winter coat, hand warmers.  If you live in an area that gets snow, you know the drill. Who would go out unprepared?  I certainly wouldn’t.  Especially when the temperature gets down to the single digits.  You’d have to be a little bit crazy to go out in the cold in just a wedding gown.  Unless . . . you want to get some amazing winter wedding photos.

Vandi happens to be my little sister. People used to say that we look alike. I used to get offended and assume that I looked like a girl.  This is one of the reasons that you’ll often find me sporting some sort of facial hair now-a-days.  Even though she is already married, the fact that she never had bridals prompted this winter wedding photo shoot over our Christmas vacation in Star Valley.  It was literally so cold that we only spent about 30 minutes shooting pictures.  That was including time sitting in the constantly running car to warm up every few minutes.

We had a ton of fun, and captured some awesome images.
