Nothing like turning the big 16! I remember when I turned 16..
I bought my first car.. it was a 1985 VW Golf automatic with 263,000 miles on it. I got it for a steal at $650.00. I was in heaven, and paid cash for i
t by working at the local gro
cery store in
Burlington, Vermont.
However today... we are going to provide a gift that is going to last forever, and freeze this day in a custom designed photobook for our client Jaslady. We have taken the time to ge
t to know her, and her passion for life. She has chosen the popular location of Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Miami, FL for the location on her special day. Having shot there many times in the past, I knew when and where we needed to shoot for the best lighting, and reduced shadows in the shots. We spent about four hours on location, and I had two assistants with me. In addition to taking shots of our beautiful subject, I took the opportunity to capture some of the epic scenery, and historic textures that surrounded us. I knew this would be a wonderful addition to the custom book I would be later creating. Everyone had such a good time, that our client wanted to book me again the very next day to shoot some lifestyle shots on South Beach! All in all we had a blast, and exceeded our clients expectations across the board.
Here is a shot from a few pages in the custom book we designed for her! We use only the best vendors for book production, and this one had "lay flat" hinged pages and a leather cover, with a custom photo jacket!
