Hey Miki

This past weekend I had a photo shoot with the wonderful, cool and totally fun Miki. My theme for the photo shoot was music.

Just like me Music is very important to Miki. We had her iphone playing through out the session. What made me smile that day besides Miki's amazing character was her taste in music...it truly made my day and i'll explain why.

Anyone who knows me knows I have a brother. Now my brother, like Miki, is really cool, chill and silly when necessary. My brother was with me to assist on the shoot and was shocked to hear Mr. Bungle coming out of the speakers. Do you know who Mr. Bungle is? I didn't until my brother showed me years ago and we were both shocked to see that Miki was a big fan. Through out the entire session Carlos was singing along to all of Miki's music. Just like Carlos, Miki's tastes in music is very eclectic. I think I captured that in the photos.

Here is a slideshow I did of some of my favorite photos from that day (please excuse the brightness on some of the photos..something went weird exporting the slideshow)

Miki thank you for being so cool to work with! You made my brother smile and thats not easily done. Hope to work with you again in the future.

"oh miki your so fine, your so fine you blow my mind!"

Johnny

Awhile ago, on a warmer day, I had photographed Lisa and her two boys Nick and Johnny. I had a lot of fun photographing them and we got some great photographs out of that session. This time around Lisa came for family Christmas photos and to photograph Johnny on his own. I can remember how little Johnny was and how he could barely sit up on his own with out the assistance of his brother holding him or a pillow properly holding him up. This time around I couldn't keep up with Johnny, who was now crawling around at such a speed, chasing after his brother and Christmas ornaments rolling around the floor.

Here are just a few of my favorite shots of Johnny from the session. Lets just say Johnny was very happy to be out of the Santa suit. He did make very cute Santa.
