Houdini would be proud

The more I photograph people, the more I realize that the subjects need to be excited about being photographed to truly capture that certain magic inherent in a good picture. The best part of my job is when the people I'm photographing are stoked to get some quality pictures for themselves. THAT is when the magic happens and when the magic happens, its golden and end up feeling like the Houdini of photography.

TADA! (That's what I feel like saying when I present awesome shots like the ones I got in this session)

Rene is an old friend of mine from my game development career. I am fortunate enough to live near a place that holds a large convention for gamers every year called PAX. She and her husband Randy came into town for said convention. I think its really awesome that they travel together. She had recently found out that I'm doing photography now and got in touch to schedule a session with me. I was so super pumped, because I knew she'd deliver and we'de get some amazing stuff. She just has that awesome personality where you know it's gonna be good. She's in control, laid back, and I gotta say, the girl knows how to strike a pose. Then there's Randy. This was the first time I'd met him. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pretty sure it was going to be one of those instances where the chick is so cool that chances are, by default, the guy is equally as awesome. I was absolutely right. Duh! He was fun and lovable and these two compliment each other so perfectly, it's unreal.

So, here's a sneak peek of some shots from the session.

TADA!!

This one cracks me up because I told Randy to stay hidden behind the door and jump out. He jumped out at the best time ever. haha!

♥ I love moments like this. ♥

To Rene and Randy, I had so much fun. Thanks for the great time!
