the kingston & crystal show

Yes, that’s snow on the ground you see there in the photo. Yes, I did this session a while ago. Yes, I’ve already posted a few of the Kingston & Crystal images on the blog. BUT, this is new. It’s the show, and I love it.

When I do a Cool Pets session, my main goal is not only to capture great images, but to really tell the story of my subjects. Kingston and Crystal were just starting out on their journey together when we did these photos. But, I could already see the strong bond between them. I hope to capture memories for my clients, but I really capture memories for me also. What a fun morning we had playing in the snow.

In fact, snow melted the very next day, and we don’t get much snow around here – usually just ice, so this was a special session indeed.

Having some fun

Remember the red door shot from Ursinus College? How could you forget, it’s only a few posts down!

So, this is what I do for fun. As all of my clients know, I love setting images to music. I love music. As a matter of fact, I used to sing in a small band. Love to sing. Love music. Love photography set to music.

Occasionally, when I hear a song for the first time, I am struck by the fact that I need to use it as a background for some of my images.

Such was the case when I heard this song. Right at about the midway point of “Twilight” is the baseball scene…which may be arguably the absolute best scene in the movie. Great scene, great action, great music….Super Massive Black Hole…an amazing song by Muse.

So, yesterday I sat down with the images from the “red door” sitting and Super Massive Black Hole… and created this…a pretty fun show. I really think the images were perfect for the song, since my daughters and nephews…although they are most definitely not vampires….do “bad ass” pretty darned well.

Now remember, I am biased when it comes to these subjects!
