A Cansler Princess
Posted on 03. Sep, 2010 by Cansler Photography.
She has red hair. Her name is Arielle (that’s Ah-ree-elle). Cue the Disney music! Ok, so she’s not a mermaid, but she was named after one. And she has the quirky, spunky personality required to pull it off without any bit of cheesiness. She’s our own Cansler Princess. Ok ok, I’ll stop the Disney references.
This session was one of those times where Brad and I really got to play. Arielle and her mother like more contemporary, fashion-y photography. Yes, they wanted Arielle to look beautiful in them but she didn’t have to be staring right at the camera every time. Fun!!
The wildest thing was inspired by the dress Arielle brought in. That gorgeous champagne color with pink accents. And its short! As soon as I saw it I pictured a modern fairytale princess peering out a window. Of course this meant – to the basement we go! I literally cannot find the words to say how much I love this photograph!

What a Good Sport!

Mary Anna came into the studio with armfuls of clothes. Clearly, she knows Brad. And its true. He’s taken portraits of her for years. So she knew he would want variety. Which we definitely achieved. And we took her every where! We worked in the studio, traipsed around the Fortwood district, and even went downtown around the Warehouse Row area (this time we didn’t get run off, but on another session we did…more on that later!)
That’s where this shot was taken. Its looks like an athletic company’s ad, doesn’t it? I love the surreal lighting and the angle of the shot. Not everyone can look so great from this angle, but Mary Anna is in such good shape how can she not look good?
Mary Anna was really comfortable with us and a good sport, too ( no pun intended on her athleticism)! In the image below she is laying on a cobble stone road. And the road is still used! She had to get up and we had to move the equipment at least three times for cars to drive through. Then she would lay back down, I would arrange lights, clothes, and hair, and Brad would get to work. It was worth it though.

Funky Photos!
Posted on 23. Aug, 2010 by Cansler Photography.
On the phone I was told that Danielle liked a more traditional photography style and Mom liked a slightly more funky one. Ummmm…. not quite. They both like funky photography. And it definitely shows! We were able to do some cool angled shots with Danielle. I love that the clothes and the pose are nice and simple but the angle of the camera created drama.
We also got some traditional things, but really – the ones Danielle and Mom picked out to purchase were the more edgy, artsy shots!
