Spring is Here!
Posted on 13. Apr, 2010 by Cansler Photography.
Spring calls to mind daffodils and sunshine…. and Mollie’s yellow dress! She brought the on again – off again warm spring weather into the studio with this outfit; and of course, her sunny disposition. Ok, Ok, I’ll stop with the allusions to yellow.
Mollie came to the studio with BOTH Mom and Dad, she must be very special, and charmed Brad and me. We couldn’t fight the bright blue eyes, cute cheeks, and sweet personality. And I’ll bet neither can you! Brad even let her keep her hair bow, which doesn’t happen a lot. She was a perfect Strasburg baby!

Two Seasons: Same Day
Posted on 13. Apr, 2010 by Cansler Photography.
Cindy and Earl are one of the family’s we photographed for the Tour du Jour, which took place last weekend. Originally, we intended have the portrait session inside, and we did start there, but it was such a beautiful day we were able to move outdoors for the casual pose. The wind was blowing pretty hard but with Brad’s skills and experience you would never know by looking at the portrait! Cindy and Earl were good sports. I know those warm weather outfits were a little cool that day.
In fact, the images are so different in tone that they could have been taken months apart, the formal one in the fall and the casual one in spring. It’s amazing that moving just a few feet so completely affects an image. But hey, everyone likes choices, right? After all, variety is the spice of life!

Black Tie Rock & Roll

Robert Bernhardt, Music Director and Conductor
For the Oh What a Night! CSO Guild Gala, Brad has been photographing the ten principals of the symphony and orchestra as well as the conductor, Robert Bernhardt. These portraits will be showcased at the Gala on April 24, 2010. This group has been so much fun to work with. Hearing the stories of how each person came to Chattanooga has been, by turns, inspiring, amusing, and engrossing. It’s amazing to get to see the pieces of something the public usually views as one entity. After all, an orchestra is a bunch of individual lives and stories that make one group effort.
But since we’re the ones taking the photographs, we can give you a sneak peak before the unveiling! Shhhhh! Don’t tell. Well…. it’s a sneak peak if you haven’t seen a certain magazine around town(Chatter Magazine). All the portraits were taken inside our wonderful Tivoli Theatre. Every musician was placed in a different location to get the most out of the location. I mean, who wants to look at a bunch of photographs with the same background over and over? So Brad made the setting just as intriguing as the musicians themselves. Take a look and tell us what YOU think.

A friend forwarded this post to me. I just wanted to say each of the portraits has a distinct personality. It is nice to see classic images done so well. All the musicians look like someone it would be fun to get to know. Congrats to you and all your subjects.

Brad and Laura,
When Melisa showed me the pictures of Mollie (our first granddaughter), I thought she looked just so sweet, cute, and you did such a wonderful job in taking her picture. I think she is so beautiful, but what do I know…I am only her grandmother.

It’s hard to believe that my brother could help create someone as sweet as Mollie. Just Kidding! I love it when she comes to visit. She means more to me than you can know.
She is beautiful.
