TRA Texture Actions | Noah

Larry — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 07:52:25 +0000

Here’s just one more shot from my shoot with my son, Noah. I wanted to play a little bit more with TRA’s actions on this photos, particularly the textures. I used “Queenie Madison” from the Dirty Pictures set, Dirty Bird and Dirt Bag from the TRA 2 set. I masked out the textures on Noah’s skin and did a little sharpening. I also used the Rusty Cage action from TRA at about 50%. Here’s the original and the edited photo. Enjoy!

Water Droplet Photography

I’ve been playing a lot with the water droplet photography, trying different colors and effects. I’m really pleased with the results I’m getting. These will be available as prints soon. Enjoy!

Cole | High School Senior Photography in Arizona

I went out with Cole last week to create some awesome images for his senior year. You might remember Cole from his sister’s wedding that I shot last year. He’s one of the most unique people I know and it was fun hanging with him. Cole came up with a few ideas that he wanted for his photos…I’d say this shoot is all Cole; I just happened to be there with a camera. A few weeks ago I drove by an old warehouse-type building that I really wanted to shoot in. Cole mentioned he’d like graffiti in some of the shots and that location was just perfect!

This was lit with light coming through a broken window.

Cole and I were both blown away by this one…pretty amazing art (even if we’re not big fans of the content)

“Game over!!” -Cole

“Come see me walk…” -Cole

These last two are especially for Cole’s mom…yes, we took a couple “normal” shots

Water Drop Photography

Larry — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:40:55 +0000

Every once in a while I get asked, “What do you like to shoot for you?” I usually answer with “Macro photography” and not much else. Tonight I experimented with macro water drop photography and am VERY pleased with the results. I set up a little space in my garage to make this happen. It involved water, paper, a ziploc bag, plenty of clamps, a tripod, light stand, sync cord, flash, and more. If you’re interested in learning how to do something like this, visit Strobist. All of the color (and monochrome) you see was done in-camera while I was shooting. The only “photoshopping” here is some slight sharpening and the occasional vignette. Now for the photos!

I love this last one…twins!

Kent and Janet | LDS Temple Wedding Photographer

Larry — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:58:04 +0000

Last weekend I went to the LDS Temple here in Mesa to photograph Kent and Janet after their ceremony inside the temple. Kent and Janet were a lot of fun and we had a great time together walking around the temple grounds. When I arrived at the temple it was raining and had been for some time. It stopped right before they came out of the temple and left us alone for the hour or so that we were shooting…we had the grounds all to ourselves, which is rare on a Saturday afternoon.

Mesa Arizona Wedding Photography

Larry — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:54:08 +0000

As I was going through the images from Jeri Lin and Tony’s wedding, I decided to post just a few more. I’ve been shooting a lot of non-wedding jobs lately, but I have a few weddings coming up that I’m really excited for. This weekend I’ll be shooting at the Mesa LDS Temple where these photos were taken. The first weekend in March I’ll be out in California to shoot a wedding, then I’ll be back here for another wedding at the LDS Temple on the 13th of March. There are a number of other shoots that I have in between all that, including several family shoots while I’m in California. Enjoy these few in anticipation of the many more to come!

9 Month Noah | Arizona Baby Photography

Larry — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:46:42 +0000

I took Noah out for his 9-month photos the other day, and we also checked out a couple locations I’ve been thinking of shooting at. It was a little work doing the entire shoot by myself, as Noah wanted to eat everything he could get his hands on! What a boy…

Paisley | Mesa Arizona Baby Photography

Check out this sweetheart!

Paisley | Mesa Arizona Baby Photography

Larry — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:10:13 +0000

Many of you probably remember Paisley from the family shoot we did a few months ago. We went out again to a gorgeous location to get some updated photos done. She is so precious. Here’s one for now…I’ll post more tomorrow.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my Loves
