Daniel Holman Photography

I have really enjoyed working with Chris & Julianna these past couple weeks.  The first engagement photoshoot didn’t really go as expected because Chris’ car got a flat tire on the way to the location.  So I ended up finding them on the highway, helped Chris’s dad change the tire, followed them to the tire place on their little spare, and got the tire replaced.  This was pretty much the entire time we had set aside for the photoshoot and the sun was on the horizon by the time we were done.  Looking across the parking lot I saw a open lot, so that it where we took our shots.  They turned out pretty good.

Although it probably wasn’t fun for them, I kinda enjoyed it.  There is nothing like changing a tire on the highway, with cars driving past within 2 feet of  your head because they won’t scoot over a lane to pass you.  Gets the blood pumping.  :-)

Last week Megan became our first free senior portrait session for the month.  Senior Steal of a Deal is still underway, and will be all summer.  But remember, “The early bird gets the worm.”

My long time friend Sarah had her third daughter a month ago and she is a cutie.  I have not been around newborns since my boy was born, and I was shocked to see how much she slept! :)  Our boy almost never slept like this. This made the sleeping shots super easy to take.  Thanks for cooperating baby Beaugh!  Sarah’s kids have the best little personalities too.

I have always enjoyed having the honor to capture my brothers school pictures throughout the years.  To me, portraits are a very personal thing… well at least good portraits are… and that is why I have felt honored to take theirs.  Being able to capture someone’s personality and life in a way that is unique to them is not easy.  It requires a completely different mindset compared to the standard poses and backgrounds, which for me is like the whipped cream on my regular morning cup of coffee.

For his senior portraits we set out to capture  his personality, manliness, and artistic spark.  So to my youngest brother, baby of the family, I say, “I am proud of you for what you are doing and keep up the good work.  You are an awesome person and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”
