STYLED SHOOTS, OUR STYLE

When we photograph people, we usually create story and inspiration boards to help us determine the vision of the shoot.  We create the look from a variety of factors including the client's personality, their style, number of subjects in the shoot, weather, location, etc.  Of course, when we get on location, creativity tends to consume the moment and we may take a little detour from the original storyboard.

Traditionally on our styled shoots we are able to accomplish the stylistic tone, brand essence of the story, and have some time to capture a few extra photos in between.  As a husband and wife team, having two shooters allows for more freedom and flexibility during the shoot.  Here are a few of our favorite campaigns...

 

The following was actually our first photo shoot using a camera in the DSLR world!  We chose our beloved NC State University as the location and certainly learned alot from the experience.  It was tons of fun working together at the very place where we met over 17 years ago, became best friends, lovers and business partners!

5K AT 11

11 weeks after delivering Raegan Olivia, I challenged myself and participated in the Hasentree 5K to benefit the American Cancer Society. I had two goals: 1) to finish and 2) to finish under 38 mins which was my finish time at my last 5K benefiting the Brain Injury Association of NC.

I really wanted to be brave and prove that I could run a 5K or something similar which would give me a huge boost post pregnancy. It was probably more rewarding mentally as much as physically. When we first started, there were two older gentlemen that mentioned how “serious I looked” and said they should run with me. I jokingly stated that I may be finishing last and if they saw me passed out to just pick me up.  After mentioning that I had just given birth, they cheered and commented "well, good for you, but you could've picked an easier option if you wanted to get out and away from the baby"...lol

Wondering what my results were????  Wait for it…….this new mommy finished at 37:30 which was even better than BIANC race because there were tons of hills as well as creeks, mud, and flat terrain through the Hasentree Trails.  Until the next run, I’m going to “keep on running!”
