Life Changing session that I’ve been dying for Christmas to come so I could share!

December 29, 2012 by 2birdsgabe

What man has ever said this after a photo shoot? “This weekend was life changing for me.” Let me rewind first.  Many months ago, I donated a family session to an IW Marks Children’s Cancer   fundraiser.  I had no idea who, if anyone had purchased it until several months later when I got a call from a woman named Brandi, who would forever change my life.  She came in to see us for a consultation and from the moment she […]

What Was I Complaining About?

December 1, 2012 by 2birdsgabe

Every time I do a photo session where a man is involved I get excited for my favorite challenge.  There is something about making a grumbling, resistant man forget that he’s participating in an hour of his life in front of a camera when there are about 400 other things he would rather be doing….especially on a Friday night.  Tonight I not only accepted my greatest challenge, I initiated it.  Friday night is Friends Night for my Mother and Father-In-Law […]

She has boobies and a bellybutton!.”  He was being sincere. I’ve never been […]

Introductions

October 11, 2012 by 2birdsgabe

I just love asking people what they do for a living.  It usually goes something like this:  ”Oh you’re a commercial real estate analyst.”…..whatever that is…..OR, “Oh, you don’t say…..a doctor of public affairs….?”, “a global document collector of foreign obstacles?”, “hmmmmmm, an avalanche inspector budget redesigner….?!?!?!”……WHAT-EVER any of that means?! …..AND usually it doesn’t matter in the scheme of getting to know someone if I understand what it is they do from 9 to 5.
