Natalie, Greg, and their kids are regulars. I have been visiting them every few months for over two years. Usually on a Sunday. Each visit starts around 9am with a pancake breakfast, prepared lovingly by Greg while I break out my gear and start shooting….whatever. Between shutter presses, I hear about what’s new with them. I catch them up on whats new with me. Occasionally my girlfriend comes along to hang out, have some pancakes, and assist me. Sometimes, like this Sunday, we take a field trip. And I just keep shooting. It turns out to be kind of a Day in the Life of their family (completed in 2 hours). And its just a LOT of fun. After photographing them so often, we’ve entered the realm when it just gets really good: the children know me and are always ready and willing to play, I spend almost no time thinking about my gear, I already know where the best light can be found. There are no nerves in the entire home. I can be creative. And they can be their beautiful selves. I hope that it shows.
…and a visual shout out to the very capable assistant!
from photographer to artist! amazing.
In the New year, a 2011 photographers workshop list was published for known workshops to take place in Moab. It is great to see a sample of the images that can be captured in Moab. Thanx!
Fantastic preview Dana! Can’t wait to see the full set! Next time you sign up for an outing like this one let me know, maybe I’ll join you.
