Portfolio Work

Recharged my batteries!
It was a great week. Finalized a wedding, working on another and of course a little me time. Me time is just a way of saying doing what I want. Shooting what I want. Control! Making sure Clients, Family and Friends are taken care of takes time and energy. So when I get to go out and just shoot for me...its priceless.

The image above is just that. I met Sara, the model, online through a friend. Sara was game for being a model for an hour. I wanted the track shot. Why not use a competition figure model for the talent. The weather turned cold so between lighting setups she would do pushups and run laps. Do you do pushups at work when you have down time? Nope, I don't either. Sara Rocks!

Get out and recharge your batteries. After you ready to go....Be sure to check out Renault Photography if you are in need of a portrait. We specialize in location shoots. You just pick your favorite spot and we will come to you.

Miller Wedding

Brennan & Rosayln Miller

Now this was a fun day at work! Yes, every wedding is different. Each has its own spice that gives it something special. The Miller wedding on April 2 at the Grand Traverse Resort was no exception.

The day started off with everyone getting ready. The upbeat joy was almost surreal. You couldn't sense the nerves that are the norm at the beginning.

The black n white outfits with a splash of yellow was perfect. That upscale refined feel without much effort. Rosayln had this wedding planned out! Class, Class, Class

One reason that I love doing weddings is the special moment in time of the bride and grooms lives. Its a stepping stone for two people. A day that is surrounded by friends and family. Loved ones sharing a unique moment that will be cherished. I, not knowing the families and friends, get to be right in the middle of everything. I am truly blessed!

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Miller. I wish you the best and may this day be just one in many more to come.

Scouting

Wedding Season Starts Now...

This weekend I get to shoot a small intimate wedding at the GTR. Its one of my favorite types of weddings. Small, and I mean guess count, tend to be a bit slower. There isn't the feeling of being in a race. Its like going to Cheers, where everyone knows your name.

The benefit is that I get to concentrate on the tiny moments. Details that are usually swept under the rug. The nervous receiving lines are nowhere in sight. I love it!

To prepare for this fun day, I am heading out to scout my locations. While I know the ceremony and reception place well I like to go see them empty. Fresh eyes. Try it sometime.

Brianne

Brianne...what can I say. She has more ideas then anyone I know. Always ready to doing something different. Its almost hard to keep up with her. Love her excitment for the profession of modeling. Even though she is not pursuing it, Brianne is on my list of talent to call when I have a job to shoot. Senior portrait time is right around the corner.

30 minutes with Mary

This year I wanted to put a bit of pressure on myself. After shooting editorial assignments for 5 years I have switched to weddings. I do love the work. It always keeps me sharp. These are fields in the business that you don't get a second chance. There is no replays in weddings. You can't reshoot a football game. Its now or never.

In the spirit of that type of stress. I am doing a 30 minute

shoot session with my Trade For Prints or TFP shoots. Last week I was able to do my first 30 minutes with Mary.

I have to admit, she is not a normal client to

shoot with. She can rock a ton of different poses within seconds. She made it very easy on me. I got lucky the first time out. Plus, she has agreed to do another shoot. This one we will take our time and get "the shot" we want.

Mary it was a pleasure to shoot with you and I look forward to more.

Chris and Kayla Jan 2011

Kayla came to me excited about the new year. Why wouldn't she, a winter wedding and a great group to have for a bridal party. Its all in the group you choose.

It was a new location for myself. The week before brought warmer temps to the area. Most of the snow was gone and it was go time for the wedding. A few days before old man winter pulled through and let the snow fly. A perfect dusting to cover the landscape. I couldn't have asked for more.

A big thank you to Chris and Kayla for letting me in on the big day. What a great group of loving family and friends. At one point I was lovingly force to grab a plate of food. Then a family member gave up her seat so I could eat. Wow...thats family!

Another Year with Scarlett

I coned Scarlett of Photography By Scarlett to let me shoot for her this year. As Renault Productions grows I have been fortunate to watch a seasoned pro do her magic. 2010 was full of shooting, long hours editing and it was all worth it. I consider myself lucky to be working for Scarlett.

I believe no matter what stage you are at in your profession, learning is still possible. Grab that person that inspires you to improve and bribe, con or force them (with love) to let you in on their secrets. Big thanks to John Russell and Sara Morris for the advice and work over the years.

Cheers to 2011 and I hope that yours will be prosperous!
