Product Photography : A Doll Named Rose by ROotie StudiO

I do like to focus on family photography, however, at times I get requests to do product photography.  A local doll artist down the street from the studio hired me to photograph her custom hand made dolls.  Definitely check out ROotie StudiO and the art work of Leslie Molen. This particular doll, which stands about 12 inches, was made for a client in Russia and is a French girl named Rose.  Rose was created in under 2 weeks and considering the head and face are sculpted out of clay that is no easy feat.  Leslie also teaches the art of doll making so if this is something you are interested in give her a call!

Look carefully at the eyes.  Those are hand painted eyes.

Family Portraits : Meyer Family Plus Some

I have a history of doing product photography for the Meyer family.  This time around it was family portraits they were after and included their immediate family plus extended family.  With 18 people involved it was a great opportunity to create one of my panoramic images of the entire family.  Panoramic family portraits are great way to handle very large groups. Each individual family group is shot one at a time and then with the magic of Photoshop a composite image is created of all family members.

Modeling Shoot : KidSport Kids

I recently partnered up with a local clothing store down the street from the studio called KidSport.  The contest entailed a drawing where the winning parents brought their kids down to the studio for a modeling shoot in KidSport clothing.  Nine lucky kids got to spend an afternoon at the studio and in the end I created this panoramic composite image of all the kids.  Thank You to all the incredible kids and parents for participating in the modeling shoot.  The panoramic is currently hanging in the studio lobby and in the near future I’ll be hanging some prints in the KidSport store as well!
