Brandon v2.0
We shot Brandon Seabolt for his first birthday last year- he kept us on our feet then as he learned how to run before he could walk. His second birthday portrait session had the same feel, on our feet, on the move, but still great fun. I guess Brandon will always be Brandon - we’re definitely looking forward to seeing him at three. It is always nice to see the kids change and grow.
Jada
We always get bombarded with family and child photo projects during the holiday season. We have to turn down most due to scheduling conflicts, but it is always a pleasure working with great kids. Jada Hoopii was a prime example, plenty of energy, and plenty of fun. Happy Holidays to the Hoopii clan.
In light of my recent lapse…
So we have been busy. Our little girl, Lucia Belen Solis, was born in September. She was hale, healthy and hollered loudly on exit. Quite exciting. Here are a few pics of her at 3 weeks old.
Micah
O.K. So we would never admit it in person, we sometimes shoot pets. But only for really, really good friends (you know who you are), and for really great, great pets (Micah knows who he is). It really is a dreamy kinda job to work with animals. I can’t figure out why I am always so ambivalent to projects like these. P.S. we still laugh when we find the random golden hairball behind some furniture - Micah Yano, your memory lives on..
In the Hot Seat
We were given fifteen minutes to photograph Dr. Michal Carbonne for CURE Magazine, a national cancer research publication. Even under tight deadlines and shooting in a tight research lab as a backdrop, we got our publishable shots - all that, with little said about Dr. Carbonne’s swarthy good looks and Euro appeal. All in all the shoot was done in just over 7 min. Let me know what you think of the sample…
Private H.K.
These are a few pics from a catered event at a private Hawaii Kai residence. We were contracted by Humanhand to shoot food shots and portraits of the chef and owner of a soon to be renamed and rebranded catering subsidiary of a well-known local eatery - whew! More to come on this. Links to new website, etc…. Lots of love from deep in H.K…. P.S. The waves were sick at Paiko’s that evening.
The Andreas
We shot some photos with Andrea Wilson-Ignacio and Andrea Messer - championship paddlers, both probably stronger and in better shape than you and I. The rainy weather hasn’t made beachy shoots like this very easy, but we all hung in there and pulled off a few good shots anyway.
Noir Couture
We shot fashiony lifestyle stuff for Lynn Jean Jewelry earlier this month with model Christina. We tried to capture a darker evening personality for the jewelry instead of simpler product shots. I will post a link to LJ site when I get it.
