“Fore!”
Posted on 20. Jul, 2009 by Cansler Photography.
Krista and Brad have been trying to plan the session we did this morning for quite a while now. Luckily today was the day, and we were finally going to be able to do Krista’s family session. It was a crisp and clear morning. We headed out to the golf course and had a couple of spots in mind already. There are 3 keys to shooting on any golf course in my opinion. You absolutely must pick spots that are
1. Not in the sprinkler system’s line of fire, unless you’re going for that Happy Gilmore “meet us at ninth green at nine” look.
2. Preferably any where out of the way so that you aren’t interrupting the greenskeeper. Remember they wear those ear plugs in part to drown out the mowers and to also drown out the screams of photographers who find them not blending particularly well into the background of their photographs.
3. Look for spots that are lush, green, and gorgeous.
May I also add for the ladies being photographed at the golf course, leave your stilettos at home. Most places only like aerating once maybe twice a year.
All these reasons and more led us to the little walk across bridge for our session. It was just off the cart path, and people you just don’t get much better lighting and scenery than this!
Lucky for us, we have subjects like Krista and her family who can make any great looking location even better! They were absolutely a blast to work with, and Brad and I had too much fun driving around in their golf cart with all our gear. I think we broke 10mph more than once. We’re wild what can I say? Hope you love these new images, because we sure do!

“Susannah, I love your dress…now lets trash it!”
Posted on 15. Jul, 2009 by Cansler Photography.
Susannah came in to finish her final part of her senior ambassador session yesterday. I was so excited to hear she wanted to go out with a bang. Well, that’s not completely accurate. What I should say is go out with a splash. Susannah saw her friend Meghan’s trash the dress photos, and couldn’t wait to do hers.
I had seen her dress previously at her first session, but it was an entirely different dress off the hanger. It was amazing, and she looked beautiful in it! Not to mention, it was 5 whole layers lighter than when she originally purchased it after all the final alterations! 5 layers lighter though, it still had a fairy tale princess feel to it. Now we should be honest ladies reading, we’ve all wanted, owned, or secretly envisioned ourselves in a princess-like dress of our own. Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone.
We took Susannah to hop in the water, which she didn’t mind considering it was a sweltering afternoon. This is one of my favorite things about Susannah, she has the best fearless fun attitude, and that always gives any senior session that extra edge to make it AWESOME! I’m so glad she let us trash her gorgeous dress!

Now for Somthing Completely Different

In talking with Bob we discussed how it would be fun to do something a little more casual, gritty and urban. We have done pretty many times and thought that it would be interesting to do something more contemporary since the kids are all grown. We met at the studio and then drove to an abandoned warehouse. Everyone was a great sport climbing through broken doorways etc (including mom who had a cast on her leg from foot surgery), we did something of the whole family a couple of things with dad and the kids and then at the last moment as we walked to the car a couple of shots of just the kids.
Thanks to our family for being with us from the start. It has been cool to see the kids grow up and change. My favorite part of what I do is the people that have become our friends over the years!

What a beautiful family! Of course, we might be just a little bit biased .since we are Krista’s parents.
