Okay, Third Time is the Charm…It Just Has to be!

Kelly and her mom, Carolyn, were so much fun and very patient. Because of the massive amounts of rain we have been getting lately we kept having to reschedule her session, I thought it was never going to stop raining! They had to come in three times to finish up Kelly’s session, but it was well worth it. The best part about it is they loved coming in and hanging out with Brad and I and thought it was a blast! We did a lot of really cool stuff inside and then eventually, weather permitting, outside with Kelly.
We finally set another day for her to come in, the weather was supposed to cooperate with us, but of course once Kelly and her mom got to the studio the clouds rolled over and it started raining! We couldn’t believe it, but we ended up getting some really cool black and whites inside and rescheduled the outside shots for what we hoped would be a sunny morning.
The final day we photographed Kelly turned out to be a pretty clear day but boy was it cold! Kelly was such a trooper, standing out in the freezing cold with sundresses on trying to act like it was hot out! She did a really good job! In between shots her mom was tossing her jacket to her so she could warm up a bit. We even had her dancing around in place to keep the blood flowing. She was such a good sport about it and you would never even know she was absolutely freezing when she took the pictures! For some crazy reason to pass the time in between outfits and the fog trying to roll in we started talking about skiing and going out west, when we probably should have been talking about the Bahamas or some place WARM. Brad and Carolyn had both been to Big Sky recently to go skiing and were trying to remember the name of a certain trail and couldn’t think of it. All of a sudden Carolyn pulls out her map of Big Sky from her jacket, obviously the one she wore out skiing, and they were able to reminisce about all the trails that are fun to go on. Kelly and I thought it was just too funny!
I really hope that Kelly and her mom love her photographs as much as I do. I wish her all the best in the rest of her senior year and where ever she decides to go to College. It is such an exciting time for all of our seniors making some of their first of many big decisions in their lives.

GPS Art Students
Posted on 12. Nov, 2009 by Cansler Photography.
The other day I had to drop off photographs on a CD for the GPS yearbook of the many senior girls we photographed this year. Being new in town I had always seen GPS but had never had a reason to drive up and into the school. Let me just say that I was very impressed with the art that was being displayed in the front office. I mean, WOW these young ladies are creating such complex, detailed, and intuitive works of art. There were self portraits that were so much more than just drawings but rather reflections of their inner person. I was blown away! Being an art student all throughout Highschool and in College getting a minor in Studio Art, I know how much time and dedication goes into one small piece. I was very inspired and encouraged by the students art work. Keep up the awesome work ladies!

Same Time Next Year!

Oh the sad life of a child of a photographer! Poor Sydney she has to put up with getting her photograph taken more than most kids. What is funny is that she will come up with her own ideas that she wants us to do. So I guess it must not be too traumatic for her.
Every year since she was 8 months old we have done photographs in one particular spot not far from our house. There is a couple of beautiful Japanese maples and the lighting is very good. So this year it was time to go back and do a new image. Mom showed me the clothes and we decided to do the images on Saturday afternoon. I was working as usual but I called about 3:00pm and told the girls to be ready to go. Well when I got home at 3:30pm they were still not ready, something about a 8 year old being slow getting ready. Geez, it’s not like we were going to do formal portraits!
I herded the girls out the door and we drove to the location. The sun was getting ready to slip behind the hill and I only had a couple of minutes to work. Sydney did her thing and we captured several images. It is fun to see the images that we have done over the years in the same spot and to see how different they all look because of lighting, pose and attitude.
