Shooting with a couple of Cowboys

The beginning of this week, I managed to have the two photo shoots I've been planning, and the pictures really turned out great. The guys were great at listening and they were patient with my craziness--they're also very photogenic, so that helped.

So, without further ado, allow me to introduce the models!

Two days of shooting = 270 photos

The first day was with Jared, who's quiet and nice, and he smiled pretty much the whole time.

And the second day was with Logan, the troublemak--I mean...he's nice, too.

This really was a great opportunity for me to see just how a photo shoot would go, and I'm so glad I have friends that will put up with me taking picture after picture of them and bossing them around. 

8 hours of editing = some pretty great photos (if I may say so myself ;) 

These are just a tiny showing of the pictures I snapped. Like I said, I shot hundreds and the boys are natural hams, so it all worked out. Thanks, guys! You were great subjects!

                                                                                                                                             

It's Official: I Have Models!

Alright. So the past few weeks, I've been despairing over the fact that I really don't have anyone that I can take pictures of whenever I need to and that I don't have any siblings around the house that I can force to pose. But now that problem has been fixed, and I am very relieved that I actually found somebody--actually, TWO people to be my models.

Since the weather has been so unbearably hot lately, I've decided to put off the first photo shoot at least until sometime next month in the hopes that it will have cooled down enough for everyone involved in the shoot to not be melting in the sun. Because melting subjects are not pretty subjects. I would assume.

So...

Coming Soon:
Two New Models!!
(Isn't that exciting?!)

Have I made it apparent yet just how happy I am to finally have some solid subjects for my photos? I mean, like, subjects that aren't animals?! Another good thing is that they're actually some friends of mine, so at least it won't be weird during the first shoot. Hopefully. Or maybe it will be, since I'll probably come off as a little bossy by telling them how to stand and to NOT LOOK AT THE CAMERA when I need them not to, and to turn their heads just so...

Hm.

Well, they'll just have to get over it. At least I'll be bossy in a nice way.

Noticed how I've not mentioned these "models'" names? Well, that's because I want to reveal their names with their photos, just to add a little more suspense for you. HA.

Now, I just need to learn how to drive my dad's '66 Dodge pick-up without wrecking in a ditch*, and I'll be set!

(*Just to make it clear, I have not wrecked said pick-up into a ditch. Yet. But I'll likely need it for the first photo shoot, so it'd probably be good if I could continue to avoid that.)
