Will and Zach

Zach against the chainlink fence BLOG
The last few posts have been short on photos......so unlike me.

Well, this post is certainly going to make up for that:)

Sitting in front of the iron fence Will and Zach BLOG
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing these two adorable little guys!!
I have known their Mom for most of my life. We lost touch after high school but recently reconnected through Facebook.

Tiffany, my friend is a beautiful girl inside and out and when we were growing up, she did some modeling and acting. She actually still does a little of both, and her two cuties do as well!!

Neither one of them is shy in front of the camera....

In fact, quite the opposite is true.

Will is a TOTAL NATURAL.
He really could not take a bad photo if he tried!
He has such a great look. If you have ever seen the commercial
or print ads for the Estee Launder perfume, Beautiful, then you have seen Will.
That is him all dressed up with the "beautiful" bride.

It was a rather warm evening, so I had a treat up my sleeves that the boys loved and at the same time, it added a fun new element to the next few photos!

Zach Coke In Hand2 BLOG
Zach is about as precious as they come!
He is super sweet and he literally had me at "hello".
Look at those baby blues and that funky hair!

Coke in Hand Will BLOG
And then there is supermodel Will!!!
No matter if he is smiling ear to ear or serious, the camera just LOVES him.

Standing up drinking coca cola BLOG
Once the old fashioned coca cola bottles came out, I sort of just let them do their thing........

and continued to snap some candids....which usually end up being my favorites:)

After the sugar kicked in, the boys slipped into something else, just to change things up.

Boys will be boys Will and Zach BLOG
I had such a fun evening with Will, Zach, and my friend Tiffany!
The time flew by and once we parted ways, I was anxious to get home and start the infamous download!

Trust me when I say, I have never had so many "keepers" in one session.
These cuties made it extremely hard for me to narrow down my editing selection.
I hope that they love these photos as much as I do.

It has been another busy week here at our house, but the kids are starting to get into the summer groove. I have a full week of vacation just around the corner...... and I am counting the days.... 6 more work days to be exact, then AN ENTIRE CAREFREE WEEK.....YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!

Okay my friends..... it is off to work I go.
TGIF and Happy Weekend to you!

PS. I received the calibration software and it drastically changed my computer!
For those that asked, I used the Spyder 4 Elite. It was pretty easy to use and only took a few minutes to set up.


the long road

I opened your blog hoping for photos of your family and then fell in love with these photos. You are so talented. The kids may be terrific subjects but it is your photography that makes them look so great.

Well I could never take photos like that, but you have inspired me to get some Sun Drop in bottles. OK, we're in TN, so Sun Drop is king around here LOL! Plus my hubby loves the stuff and so do our boys. If I pull these out, maybe I'll have some more willing models (b/c though mine are adorable they aren't very willing ;).

How in the world do you find the backdrops. I LOVE your shots b/c you make them look so REAL. Do you just find places around your town and use them? Do you ask? I guess I'm just not sure. What about other people being around? If you don't have time to answer I understand, but if you ever do Q&A, I'd love to know how you find these locations I see on your blog and often think how cool! As a Mom of 4 sons, I really love the lines and backdrops here. Thx for sharing the photos and the inspiration!

DiJo said...

I think I am going to talk you in to letting me fly you here to do my kids!!!! These are so great Lisa!!! And, I am glad to hear the software did what you expected it to do.. I am definitely going to check into that now!!!

Tiffany is a blessed Mama to have you in her back yard!! And, as for those boys!! Amazing! I do remember Will!!!

Blessings,
Diana

Tiffany said...

Just wanted to chime in that YES I am (as the mom of the 2 boys) over the moon about these photos! Lisa is so amazingly talented, but more importantly such a kind and down to earth person. Will has shot w/some pretty well known photographers (Peter Lindbergh shot the Estee Lauder Beautiful campaign), but I can honestly say Lisa is up there with the BEST OF THEM. Lisa, thanks again. Tiffany and the boys :)

I wish you lived close to me b/c I would have you photograph my kids!

Michelle R Photography said...

Only one of these images is loading for me - UGH!!!! I don't know why I am still having issues with viewing some blogger photos. Well, the one of the handsome boy on the fence is fabulous!! I hope one day soon this issue will correct itself and I'll get to see the rest!

Ivy Shaffer said...

Hi Lisa,
Just wanted to stop by and say hello. Sorry for missing your call the other day, will try later this evening if I can keep my peepers open lol.

I really love these photos of your little models here. So awesome! Funny how little backdrops mean when you have two handsome boys to work with. You made the asphalt even look good!

Off to grab some coffee and then get the girls to settle in.

Will talk to you soon.

xoxo
Ivy

Jodee Leader said...

What handsome guys! Love, love, love these pictures! The Coke adds such a fun twist too!

Serendipityissweet said...

Oh gosh, they are gorgeous! Before I read your post my first thought was these two could be models. Love, love, love all these images. Beautiful job ;)

So glad the calibration worked. Makes me think I really need to invest in that. I haven't never touch my mac settings.
