It is 2011 and my aim is to get better at this blogging. It is helpful as a journal of sorts to get down my thoughts and notes about projects and it allows others to see what I am doing. My last post was in August and I had several projects since then but was too "busy" to attend to the blog.
In 2010 my friend Kosal Eang, owner of Framed by Kosal in Monroe and as it turns out one talented photographer, asked me if I would be interested in offering a free portrait session as part of a silent auction. Being civic minded I agreed. Honestly, I have done this several times but never hear back from the winner. Well, there is a first time for everything and Josh Friend was the winner.
We met Josh and his family: wife Carrie, son Noah, and two daughters Manaia and Luisa on a Sunday morning in late October at Wolfe Park in Monroe, CT.
I like doing family portraits outdoors for several reasons. Each shoot offers a challenge in terms of gear and lighting. I often suggest a location that is special to the client or familiar to them and I always end up pleasantly surprised by their choice and this was no exception. Also, photography in general is a great way to meet new people and every portrait is different form the last.
The second shot was taken not too far away along the lake with the foliage colors from across the lake as the back drop.
This was a good experience and I enjoyed meeting Josh and his family. I hope they enjoyed the large 16x20 print they won and Josh was kind enough to order some additional prints and digital negatives. All in all a win-win for both parties.
jPhotographic is available for family portraits at the beach, the lake, the park or wherever you and your family enjoy spending time.
We offer archival prints, digital negatives, canvas wraps, and custom matting and framing.
