Brrrr....

Posted by Lyndon and Jo Beth Shaw |

It was C~O~L~D! Really, really cold! To be honest, I was pretty nervous about our shoot Saturday. We had three families lined up and two had to cancel due to sickness and family reasons, so I was kinda in a negative fog to begin with. When I checked the forecast earlier in the week, the projected high was in the 50's...so, I thought no prob. We walked outside Saturday morning and it was FREEZING! When we got on location, there was still snow on the ground from earlier this week. I really thought there was no way a four year-old was going to tolerate two crazy people taking his picture for very long in that cold. I just knew we were in for it... I couldn't have been more wrong! I honestly think this was our best family shoot to date. He was SO well behaved, and great in front of the camera! too bad he's going to be in the NBA when he grows up, he'd make a great little model :) The whole family was uber-photogenic!

He's the cute little guy with his beautiful mom:


Playing football with dad, waiting to catch the ball:

Okay, I think these next two are some of my all time favorites:




1)
2) I think this one will be our new main picture on the website and myspace. What'd ya think?


With Buddy and Spike ( I think?)











Such a cute lil' man!



Thanks guys for be SOOO wonderful to work with, and braving the cold for us!

We have an intern!!!

Posted by Lyndon and Jo Beth Shaw |

Yup, we have our very first intern! Miss Kayly is SO sweet! We shot her sister's wedding this summer, and we were tickled to have her intern with us, 'cause we just love their whole family! The three of us met downtown on Halloween so that we (okay...Lyndon) could review the basics, and let her get a camera in her hands. Lyndon wanted new pics for Myspace, so he brought along his guitar and us girls followed him around like a rockstar :)

Kayly was starved, so she stopped by for a kids meal before 'class'. Her cute turtle toy:



I kept interrupting, so Lyndon banished me to the parking lot while he taught (not really):



Looks like he's explaining aperture here:



Finally, class was over and we headed to the train tracks. I liked this one because you can tell he was trying to decipher the graffiti. Too bad I cut off his arm ~sigh~



Kayly in action:


Oops, I'm sure I messed up her shot here:



I snapped this one while Kayly was grabbing a shot for our upcoming piece entitled: Track-side Dining:




She's SO cute!




Finally, we had to stop in at the bakery while we were downtown. Lyndon HAD to have a dozen Sand Dabs...they're a yummy type of cookie. I got a chocolate chess pie to eat while handing our Halloween candy at mom and dad's...then forgot I'd bought it and went off and left it in the car...lol. While we were there the bakery lady was talking about guitars with Lyndon. She was dressed up as Daisy Duck, so I couldn't resist:
