A few weeks ago, we did a shoot for a Mother’s Day brunch that was just featured in the St. Louis Post Dispatch and STLToday. Read the story here. Here are some of the pictures we did that day.

We were wanting something very clean, but slightly upscale looking. I definitely wanted to go with a more “magazine” look which I think we got on most of the shots. I really love the way the magazine, Real Simple, looks and I was channeling that style.

The big window behind the dining room table allowed for a nice smooth overexposed look. White, bright and airy. We were still able to retain the color of the flowers by first blowing out the picture, then increasing the shutter speed till we got the look we wanted.

It is something that everybody should know how to viagra pharmacies move around our game in the sea of problems that we live in. A gold reflector and 430ex flash were used with a 50mm 1.4 Canon lens.


Here, my sister-in-law helped out on a shot of some bubbly. We tried to keep with the overall look, so we moved her out to the foyer and opened the door to get more light. We did about 8 shots of this, and each time, she’d have to drink the glass down. I think she rather enjoyed it after the 3rd or 4th time. For this shot, we actually dried out the glass to get rid of any residual liquid, so that we could get a clean shot through the glass as she was pouring.

This is probably the most difficult of the shots we did. I just couldn’t get the look right. It doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the “theme” but we got as low to the horizon as possible and opened up the aperture as big as we could to throw the focus on just the one asparagus. I wish we had a bit more time to figure out a different look here.
