JenniferAndDerek017 Jennifer and Derek – Lifestyle Couples Session in Hollywood, Florida engagement

No, not a South Florida Wedding and not an Engagement Session either… but a gorgeous couples’ session nonetheless.  Jennifer and Derek are total naturals in front of the camera… which is understandable in the case of Jennifer, who models (and dances and does all sorts of other cool things!) but Derek… he’s just a regular dude… but wow… check out the intense GQ look below!

After that shot we kept joking around that he’s got the intense look of an underwear model… oh yeah and I should note that when he jokingly asked something along the lines of “ok is this when we do the underwear shots” … my wife didn’t make a peep … hum… :)

At any rate… photographing them was a pleasure and an honor… and if you guys end up together… let’s totally hook up a cool multi-hour session :)

Here’s a shot I’d like comments on (you can email me if you prefer to keep your thoughts private)… I had this idea while shooting a tiny little baby, that we often don’t have photos from the vantage point of Ourselves while doing something… in the case of the baby I shot the baby as the parent would see him while they held him. In this case the idea was to use a normal lens (which gives a very natural perspective) and shoot the photo from the position where Derek’s eyes would be if he were gazing into Jennifer’s eyes as he gently cupped her face… does it work?

This shot below deserves an explanation.  As usual at the beginning of the session I mentioned to them that the best “kiss” photos are photos where they’re about to kiss… not the actual kiss itself.  Well… guess what… without me even realizing it they took my words to heart and literally NEVER kissed during the whole session LOL.  Except when we started taking some totally silly ultra-wide-angle shots… which I certainly didn’t intend on posting…  but hey… it’s the only kiss shot I have, so here it is LOLJenniferAndDerek015 Jennifer and Derek – Lifestyle Couples Session in Hollywood, Florida engagement

And from kiss… to … Uh Tongue bite-pull :) JenniferAndDerek016 Jennifer and Derek – Lifestyle Couples Session in Hollywood, Florida engagement

Guys, it was an absolute pleasure to spend the little time we had available making some fun photography.  Thank you!

Oh and Derek… unfortunately for my wife we don’t really do underwear model photography but if that’s where you see yourself in 5 years… I might have some contacts you might want to talk to :)

All the photos for the session are on the proofs section of the website.

   Awesome portrait session with Tia down at Hollywood beach. She’s obviously stunning as you can see in the photos, but she was also extremely personable, fun to work with and on top of all that she’s a service member in the Navy, where she participated in the efforts to keep ships safe from pirates that we read about over the past few months.

Pia - Sun Fairy

Fantastic session with Eloy and Pia last night.  Nadia and I took turns shooting them.  Great times!

More from the shoot will follow once I finish processing them, for now just a teaser…  Pia as a sun Fairy

Let me know what you think, in the comments :)

Just finished editing my shots from the portrait session Nadia and I had with Eloy on July 19.  I spent most of the session assisting Nadia so there isn’t a lot of variety in the set.

Two thumbs up for Eloy for being a very cool guy and also for coming super-prepared!  He brought some clippings from fashion mags with some ideas, as well as quite a few items of clothing for us to choose from.  We definitelly look forward to the opportunity to shoot with him again!

A shout-out also to Renato.  He came along with Eloy on the shoot and helped us immensely.  Since we decided to go lightweight with the kit (no stands for instance) most of the shots would not have been possible without your help.  Thank you!
