Say Hi to Dennis and Ally.

They are getting married in the summertime and wanted a session for their ’save the date’ invitations. Since I am tired right now I don’t have anything funny to talk about but I did want to share one from this session. I like the mood and the connection in this one.

Ok……..

thinking………..

Hmmmmm………

What do I do today?!?!?!

What will be different about HIS portraits that no one else has????

I’ve photographed all of their friends in the same temple.

They are using me for my creative talents.

I hope you think of something.

So those are my thoughts as I am arriving at B’nai Shalom of Olney today to photograph Jake’s Bar Mitzvah Portraits before his ceremony and party Saturday night. As previously mentioned I am sure I would feel uneasy if I didn’t walk away with SOMETHING different and unique compared to the rest of their friends. Heaven knows they’re watchin’!

SO I learned something today. Well I was reminded of something today that I almost forgot. Here it is: “get to know your clients personally.” I have Charlie, Jake’s father, to thank for reminding me of that. He mentioned that Jake plays piano and asked if I could take a portrait of him playing the one in the Temple. Naturally I was happy to do it and grateful he mentioned something about Jake that was personal. I needed that ‘touch’ for today’s portraits. So I have to remember from now on to find out as much as possible about each of my clients. The more I know the more I am able to customize their portraits that speak more about them instead of just what they are doing.

Thank you Weiss family see you tomorrow night!
