Couple: two items of the same kind, a pair

I had meant to post these a while back. Part two of the couple session I did. These were all taken on location at their home and I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

Falling

Sometimes I wish for falling, wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air to give me some relief
Because falling's not the problem, when I'm falling I'm at peace
It's only when I hit the ground it causes all the grief

~Florence + The Machine

I had this fallen angel concept kicking around in my brain for a while and thanks to a dear friend of mine,  I finally had the opportunity to shoot it. When I was editing these, I developed a little story about them. The girl in this narrative fell on her own accord. Not because she got kicked out of heaven but because she wanted to go. Maybe just to check out things down here for a while. Of course, now that she's here, all she really wants is to go back home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Route 46

Route 46 in Sanford is a very unique location filled with vintage memorabilia and cars. It served as the perfect backdrop for this retro-inspired couple shoot.

Groundhog Gala 2012 - Pin Up Inspired shoot

Back in February, I did a pin-up themed photoshoot at the Groundhog Gala car show in Sanford. There are so many great images from that day and I'm long overdue to highlight a few. Here are some of my favorites.

Mannequin Update!

Hard to believe it's been over a year since we had our last mannequin update! Where does the time go?
Over the past year, Bill's little lady has had a lot of work done. She got a beautiful set of ruby-red lips...

And a full back tattoo! It's hard enough to keep a steady hand while pinstriping, but check out how he painted it to match the curved posture. Such talent. You can check out more of his pinstriping on his website, kidstriping.com

Aaaand, I've got to show off a little gift my father in law rescued from the trash and fixed up for me. Our girl is holding the latest addition to my Halloween arsenal. Only someone who knows me would give me a severed head in January. If that's not love, I don't know what is. :)

 

Hogsmeade Hipstamatic

Since our annual passes are about to expire, we decided to really spend some time in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter last weekend. Normally, we just breeze through since I have no patience for long lines and wall to wall people (which is what this section of Islands of Adventure invariably is).

But armed with my iPhone and calm demeanor, I sought to preserve this magical land. For who knows when we'll be back again.

All shots below were taken with Hipstamatic.
