The kiddie camera shoot!

Have I introduced you to my goofy side yet? If not, hello. I'm a goofball. :)

Amazing how well that trait fit in with this shoot.

I had another shoot with All-Star Studios. I arrived at the studio ready to go like we usually do-a large amount of "wingin' it"...spreading my wardrobe options all over the room, hair/makeup materials hogging the bathroom, the usual.

This was an all day project. There were a few things he wanted to play around with.

Part of the shoot was turned into a photo lesson for his wife--which was so much fun! To watch her learn and get a taste of what he loved to do was a pretty neat thing to be a part of. And to top if off, she was a natural! She was able to get some really great shots.

Then he and I shot a bit. Always fun and we got some more great shots. He used his photography gear to create a set--umbrellas. It was dreamlike on camera.

Suddenly a new camera peaked through this "umbrella land"... a bright blue child's camera. I couldn't help but giggle! How awesome! How fun! We were going to do a surprise shoot with this- I had NO idea about this prior, but he knew I'd be up for something so silly. The purpose was to emphasize lighting, primarily, but also touched on connecting with your subject, and emoting.

The camera made silly noises... tough to keep a straight face as this brightly colored camera is making "boing" noises!

What ended up being a nice touch was the one thing we kind of feared- that the images were very low res... for this purpose however, this lower quality added a very artsy touch to the images. They looked like a painting!

As I mentioned, this was a full day shoot. While I was having a blast, I could feel a massive headache coming on. We still had playing to do, however! So I tried to tough it out.

Eventually, every flash hurt. I was actually wincing in pain, and could barely keep my eyes open. Not to mention, it was getting late and I had a long drive ahead of me.

I decided to try something else before calling it quits... I used that pain I was feeling. I'm so glad I did, because I was able to try out other expressions and poses I may not have tried otherwise! And just for funsies, we through in a couple experimental shots... one included tinfoil on the ground, which created some neat effect.
