Last Sunday, I had the honor of shooting Chris and Shannon engagement pictures for their wedding next year. The wedding will be taking place in Jamaica along with a seven day cruise. This I am excited and can't wait to participate in. We were originally planning to shoot in the botanical garden right next to Heritage Park in Taylor, MI, but I soon discovered there was an event happen and also you have to have permission to shoot there now. So no more walking there and shooting then leaving. Permits are a must. This shoot was just part one or two which weather clears we would be able to do in Dearborn. Here's a sample of Sunday's session.
Feeling A Little Blue
Few weeks George asked me to help out on a shoot, and always if I'm free I'm there. For this shot were doing something creative with Tiffany. If you read the previous post then you know exactly who she is, if not then you should read the last few posts. Just like any of the shoots with George I really don't know what is really going on, I'm just there no questions asked.
Tiffany arrive and like always were clowning, and crack jokes. One thing folks don't know is that Tiffany has a very creative mind, a very imaginative mind. If you was to give her an idea she will execute it the nth power. Everything she does is with passion and commitment, and she's down for the cause. While there I decided to do a behind the scenes type video for George, at the same time I was checking making sure everything was coming out great, and it they were.

Jazz - Delreo Collab
Sunday I was invite by Janita of Del Reo Imaging to her shoot baby shoot then lead into her shoot with her cousin Jazz, who is aspiring to be a model. After the baby shoot it was time to work with Jazz. As Jazz has never really modeled before, she needed a lot of direction. I don't mind at all because it also helped me with giving direction. It was a fun shoot. Jazz came with a variety of clothes so we had different looks happen.
After a while we took it outside to the streets, in the first location it didn't like the lighting. I was using the street light, but the street light was not providing the look I was going for. Eventually, I decided to use the flood light of the house which fair a tab bit better, but I still was not liking the situation. So the last spot we moved to was the Purple Rose right across the street from us. This actually a very cool spot with the purple wall, it stood out and added something different to the shots.
Although this was a fun shoot, I only liked 10-15% of the final images. There were some unforeseen elements that ruined the shoots and a few out of focus shots that were actually my faves. With that, I would definitely want to do a redo of this shoot. I was not satisfied with this shoot.
