They jumped. Their pose. Love love love the way the image turned out. Sometimes I think I want to marry photoshop.
How fun is this?!

And Josh and Erin are no exception. Erin emailed me wanting photos of themselves and their “adorable chinchillas”. I admit to thinking…”awww they call their children chinchillas — how cute!”
It’s a good thing that through subsequent emails I figured out that they were ACTUAL chinchillas. Otherwise I would have been REALLY SURPRISED when they walked in the door. ::laughing::
Erin and Josh — thank you soo much for a fun shoot. You are my first chinchilla people! ::grin::
Here’s your sneak peek:


So. What do you do with three boys during a photoshoot? Well. First you MAKE them pose. Mom likes the smiles…right?
Then…after they suffer (and from a boy’s point of view it IS suffering ::grin::) you let them be themselves. And the photos become about the FAMILY and less about posey posey.
Love the images from the P Fam today. I was soooo happy they were willing to try some different things — I think the results are going to be all “oh man, Tam…we love those!” ::grin::
Here’s your sneak peek!


Part II.
I couldn’t stop with just Katie and Michael’s pics. I mean…there’s only ONE of Katie. That’s just wrong and doesn’t do her justice.
She has the most expressive beautiful face don’t you think?

The coolest of the cool. I can’t begin to tell you how much I j’adore this photo:

And then Ran. Let me tell you about Ran. The sweetest, most inquisitive guy ever. I mean seriously. I have never been asked as many questions (and HARD MAKE YOU SWEAT questions) about photography before in my life. Ran might have a second career as an interviewer. ::laughing:: But he’s the coolest kid ever and I adore him and this photo…


Last night I did not sleep. I did eat. I did work. I did ROCK out FOUR MUSICIAN sessions. BAM! ::grin::
I had SO much FUN editing these images. These guys are so much fun to work with — all from the Eastman School of Music — all creative, fun and willing to try on my craziness! I am so grateful when my peeps trust me enough to be goofy — ultimately it’s the goofy stuff that looks the BEST in images. Dunno why. Dunno how — but it works.
Here’s a couple of my favs…
ROCK IT OUT! I’m in love with the clean lines of this image. FAV!!

ROCK ME AMADEOUS — Michael is total rock star material! CHELLO! (get it?)


Or wait…what about Katie? This is the yummiest pic — I LOVE LOVE LOVE Katie’s FACE in this photo! Angelic!

That’s part one. Wait. It keeps getting better and better!
