I have been photographing Leslie since she was about 6 years old. Over the years I have had the fun of photographing her several times and watching her grow up. Now she is getting ready to leave for college but it sure doesn’t seem possible that she is old enough. Time flies when your having fun.

Take Two, No Way

When Keely came into the studio to interview to be our model at GPS this year I’m thinking well I have to do something different and just more (whatever that means).  I have been photographing Keely and her family for several years so I had already done her older sisters senior portraits.  Well a couple of years have past and it is Keely’s turn and I have to do even better than the last time.  Not that there is any competition between the girls but you know I am supposed to have gotten better.  Geez, talk about pressure Meghan’s senior pictures where great so what to do, what to do.Fortunately I didn’t have to think too much about it Keely came in with really cool clothes and that makes my job easy because all I have to do is find an appropriate location and or background for the clothes.  We started off at the studio with something  a little more traditional and pretty of course she did great (as she has every time I have photographed her).  Then we left the confines of the studio , I say confines because after a zillion sessions trying to do something different for every senior becomes more and more difficult, and drove to a location that I thought would work well for the clothing that we had decided on. We took clothes with us and Keely was a trouper changing in the car to save time.We ended our journey downtown with the sun setting over the river where we watched  the last rays of light kiss Keely’s face and then slowly fade to twilight.

Madison’s Amazing 13th Birthday

Posted on 08. Jul, 2010 by .

The phone rang and as I answered it a familiar voice said “I know you don’t usually do this type of photograph BUT would you please do this for me?” With an intro like that how am I supposed to say no, so I said hello and proceeded to find out what my good friend Christine had up her sleeve.  Let me back up a minute, 11 years ago I met Christine when she scheduled our studio to take portraits of her then two year old daughter.  We hit it off, her husband was cool and her daughter Madison was a blast,  over the years we have become good friends.She had this interesting idea of something that would be different for her daughter’s 13th birthday.  Normally I don’t do events so that is why she had to explain that she wanted to do a mini fashion shoot for Madison and her friends. The day came and when it was time to do the fashion shoot the temperature cooperated, the wind blew perfectly and the girls had fun.

“Dear Brad,
When I contacted you about the part I wanted you to play in our daughter Madison’s 13th birthday party, you were up for the challenge. In planning her “Amazing 13th” birthday, I knew that it would be amazing to her, if she could go on a “photo shoot” with her friends. I gave you my idea and you made it your own with “Brad’s creative touch.” Complete with off-site location, urban feel and a true model like photo op, your talents cease to amaze us. It’s hard to believe that Madison is 13! Mark and I thank you for capturing each moment along the way. You haven’t just created photos, but rather brought out her personality and individuality in each of them. She will never forget her “Amazing 13th” birthday photo shoot. Thank you for your creativity and artful eye. You are amazing!
Sincerely,
Mark & Christine Waldrop”

    It is so fun to see the end result of such a fun day! I’m so glad I was included in the festivities and got to enjoy all the enthusiastic young girls that helped Madison celebrate her special day! With Brad capturing the whole thing in pictures it will be a fabulous memory for Madison to reflect on! I had a blast just watching it all unfold – Christine did an excellent job putting the whole event together!! Thanks Brad for your great eyes through the lens!
