First Carpe DM Shoot

We were privileged to do our first Carpe DM shoot with Patty and Levi a few weeks ago. The location was a park in Mesa and the shoot took place around 6:30 pm, just as the sun was going down and the light was nice and soft. Here are a few of the photos we delivered.

Studio Shoot w/ A Baby

A few months ago we volunteered to do a free photo shoot for our friend's son. He has a medical condition for which they needed to raise funds, so we donated some time for a silent auction fundraiser they had. This is the shoot we did for the winner's daughter.

One fun thing we did at this shoot was to incorporate a new piece of studio equipment. You'll notice a soft reflection on the floor in each of the photos; that's the new board we used. Pretty neat, huh? We love the effect.

DM Photo on Ch 12 News

We had a tremendous storm here in the valley Thursday and, to a lesser extent, Friday evening. And of course, we had our camera out. This particular shot was taken around 10:30pm in Mesa and sent to channel 12 news where it made the rounds on the 4:30 and 9:00 newscasts. For those interested, it was taken at an ISO of 100, f/5.6, 15 sec shutter speed and 24mm focal length.
