Creative Cropping

I shoot mostly kids but occasionally I will do head shots for grown-ups.  For this one I did some creative cropping.  Which version do you like best?

Eliza silhouette

Eliza is almost a year old so I thought it would be a good time to do her silhouette  I am planning on doing this every year to see how she changes over time, or at least as long as she lets me.

Jack S.

I had a great time last weekend taking pics of my new buddy Jack. He has an awesome faux hawk and his parents were super nice as well.


What a face!





Like the good Minnesotans that they are Jack's mom and dad bundled him up and took him out for some winter time fun!

As part of Twin Birch Studios on going community partnership with Armatage Montesorri I went back and took photos of the cast of their show on broadway. This young lady plays the Scuttle the albatross in the Little Mermaid.

Armatage On Broadway

Twin Birch Studios has developed a community partnership with Armatage Montessori School. As a way to participate more fully in our community Twin Birch Studios has offered free photographic services for their special events. Yesterday was the first shoot from this partnership. I took production stills for the fifth annual presentation of "Armatage On Broadway". Tomorrow I will be doing portraits of the cast in between acts. This shot is the finale of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". Opening night is Thursday night. I recommend catching the show if you are able. More pics after the jump.

Merry X-mas from Joseph

I had a great day shooting with Joseph and his mom and dad. They wanted a great shot for their X-mas card and I think we got it.

I was setting up lighting for a head shot the next day and used my 7 month old daughter for a test subject. She started talking to me and making all kinds of crazy faces.
