Capturing Musicians
"Just make us look cool"...cries the budding rock star to the young reporter for Rolling Stone Magazine in the 2000 movie Almost Famous. We
love that quote....and "get" it! Having also been a musician for most
of his life, Bob Stuart has a keen awareness of the (sometimes) delicate
persona of a musical artist. The performing artist is often time at the
mercy of novice photographers trying to lend a helping hand or capture
them in less than ideal situations.
When
we have the opportunity to work with musicians, it is a well planned
time, created to facilitate the image the subject has in mind. Many
times that means setting up an entire drums set, being mindful of rare
instruments, or maybe even an impromptu jam session! We find that our
studio atmosphere is paramount in supporting our clients vision, and
most especially for those touched by the music gods!

Creating a Lasting Connection
Creating a Lasting Connection......
One of the most amazing thing any pursuit can yield is lasting relationships. When that happens in your work space it is extra amazing! This couple came to us out of the blue, okay straight from heaven, because they have been a dream!
A maternity session can catch a couple at their most vulnerable. Everything seems new and constantly changing, yet capturing the magic of the time is important. There can be a variety of edges to navigate. We, on the photography end, are trying to reflect the essence of the couple and create a cherished experience. Sometimes that is easier than others! This was one of those times!
This couple projected their authentic personalities and excitement over their new addition from the beginning. As a result, not only did they have a very successful maternity session, but we've all created a lasting connection! We are fortunate to get to nurture the connection every few months as we continue to capture the growth and changes of their precious little son.
Recently I heard Deepak Chopra say "We don't attract what we want, but who we are"...if this is true, we've received an enormous compliment in coming to know this beautiful family!
