the gang's all here | tenney family

A tripod and cable release helped capture enough light shortly before sunset of this beautiful, colorful family in Chesterfield, Mo.

not exactly twilight

Meet Megan, STL-native and student at the best undergrad school in the nation. I love the colors in this image, achievable when the sky is overcast or when you're in complete shadow. In this instance, we were tucked away in the woods on an overcast day, so we got the best of both worlds. Great expression to boot. Heck. If it weren't so cheery and bright, you'd think we were shooting something for Twilight. PS--Photos are all but done from this hour-and-a-half shoot!

just in the nick of time

Okay, so it's been a while since we last posted. That's partly because we've been updating our PHOTOWORKSHOP site over the past 10 days, and it's been a little time-consuming, and partly due to laziness? Something... Anyway... Time to make up for the absence.

Eight photos to share today, all shot today -- thankfully, a few short hours after the rains ceased and a few hours before the temperatures flat-out plummeted. (Speaking of, just got back from a midnight run for which I was well under-dressed. Brrr. But tomorrow's Thanksgiving, so chilliness is fair. Unwelcome, but fair.)

Five of the eight images below were captured with our 70-200 f/4 L lens, while the other three were shot through a 50mm f/1.8. All were taken with our trusty 5D (love the camera, despise the strangely heavy shutter button). Enjoy!
