We started Hunters session in Wenatchee, then headed to Leavenworth. Hunter was really reserved and not really into standing in front of a camera. That’s OK because my goal is to make a portraits that fit each personality, so in that spirit I focused on relaxed personality based images, using dimensional light and taking advantage of composition. Hunter’s friend Dominique was there to help out too. That really helped keep things relaxed and natural.

One of my favorites if this one on the bridge. It’s an HDR taken from the same spot as Bridge of Memories, my award winning still life from last year.

Taken in Central WA wheat, this is an HDR portrait I made using Photomatix and my Photoshop know how. I like going wide with a cinematic scene that has a plenty of mood but is also simple. I love the motion blur on certain areas of this wheat and the swirling sunset. All that and Sondra in that red dress make this really hit the spot. If you want to learn more about HDR, see my HDR articles on Pro Photo Show.

If you’re planning a session always consider the possibilities. Everyone does not want the same style, but everyone should have something that makes them look great and looks great on the wall as a big beatiful print. I like the style of sessions I do because it’s not about grabbing a portraits quick and going home. I like to get to know my subjects and make something really amazing.

Camp Zanika is a campground on Lake Wenatchee (near Leavenworth) run by Campfire. Rebecca is in the class if 2009 at Camas High School. Her family owns the Blue Goose Lodge in Oregon. They came up last weekend and we met her mom Lisa at Zanika and got some amazing fall portraits. Rebecca was a bit cold, but she was a trooper and we all had fun.

My wife used to go to camp Zanika when she was younger, and had already met Rebecca and her mom. The funny thing is none of us knew that they contacted us to to Rebecca’s portraits. Small world.

Here’s a few favorites. I did most of them with my effects which was fun. and of course you can click the link for the complete gallery.
