Saturday morning with Preston

Two weeks ago I posted an ad on craigslist for a mini-session special.  Surprisingly I didn’t get but one reply.  Saturday morning I met with a wonderful family here in Maryland who wanted photos of their two and a half year old son, Preston.  Preston is one handsome little guy who is just so playful and full of laughter.    We spent an hour together and even played a game of “monkey in the middle”.  I must be getting old because I didn’t realize that game was still around, haha.

I’m continuing the mini-sessions for new clients through the end of November.  Mini-sessions include a 30 minute shoot at a location of your choice, one 5×7 print and your own online gallery for two months.  My price is $35, a bargain in any economy! A disc of images or additional prints are extra.  Just email me for more information.

Here’s a few teasers..

I used both the 70-200 2.8 and the 50mm 1.4.  I absolutely love natural light photography and that 50mm 1.4 shines!

1.  ISO200 | 50mm f/2 @ 1/400

2.  ISO3200 | 50mm f/8 @ 1/320

3.  ISO200 | 95mm f/3.2 @ 1/800

4.  ISO 280 | 155mm f/2.8 @ 1/200

Kevin Ford - You’re not kidding, Preston is quite a character. Working from craigslist can be hard, it’s hard to tell who is legitimate and who is not, I am sure that this family’s word of mouth is going to be well worth the investment of time with this wonderful family. Great job on the photographs, can’t wait to see more from future sessions.

Eliza Claire - Wow, what gorgeous images! And at $35 you’re going to be so busy! If I were closer (instead of the other side of the Atlantic) I’d jump at the chance of getting some gorgeous shots of my kids!
