Too hot in fact, and we all just about melted into a puddle of mush…luckily we managed to get some awesome shots before that happened!

Eskii was awesome, and took the time to explain this whole emo/indie culture of which I’m so unfamiliar with. I was unsure at first, as was he about the modelling, but by working together we soon got the hang of it and we have the photos to prove it!

There were one or two shots I requested for my own creative benefit, like the hand shots (you’ll know which ones when you see ‘em) and there was one where there is a spiderweb in the shot, but its hard to tell so I didnt upload it.

Please do comment since, well, this is a blography after all :P Good and bad comments, I want to hear what you think!

The day was a sunny one, with some cloud cover, which I do like as it adds a little detail to the photos and makes the sky more interesting (ironically none of the photos posted have clouds in them). It also provides partial shade so faces arent completely burnt out.

The shoot was fun, though I was a little nervous…being family ‘n all that. Especially future family. Eek, talk about pressure! Screw up the shoot and well things might not be so hot in the marriage department. Haha ok I’m only joking about that part…*gulp*. No really, I’m kidding. Hehe.

All the same, the shoot was commenced with shots of tequila – yes, I wish all my shoots could start like that! I think some of the family were a little nervous, but I think things got underway and ran smoothly quite quickly.

Anyway, here are some sneak preview shots…(feel free to leave comments):




Overall I’m happy with them, but wrangling large families is not really one of my strong points hehe.
