I connected with Wendy through the Society of Women Engineers – an organization that’s active at the University of Rochester. She works in optics, which is a super challenging field. Her husband took up a completely different profession – he owns Nature’s Accept Landscaping <\/a>and his property is his canvas. Wendy said that he likes to try out new ideas on their home.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I may have drooled once or twice.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The pond behind the girls (who are twins) is populated with very happy goldfish.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The lighting this day was some of the most challenging I’ve ever worked with. The sun was having a birthday party, there was no shade anywhere and it was a relatively large group. It was a day I was very glad to have some lighting tools at my disposal – including scrims (artificial shade) and a flash and umbrella.<\/p>\n The technique is to have everyone turn their back toward the sun to avoid squinting, and then add light back in via lighting equipment.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The pond behind them was stocked with fish and plants to make it safe to swim in. It was an incredibly hot day and the water looked delicious.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n If the swimming pond with a fountain, beach volleyball court and presidential quality landscaping weren’t enough, they also owned a garage full of vintage vehicles.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Each of the kids had “adopted” one of them.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This may be my favorite father daughter shot of all time.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n People often ask if you can do individual photos or subgroups during sessions and the answer is of course! Justin is an actor and took the opportunity to grab a few headshots for his portfolio.<\/p>\n
