Nicole & Steve (aka: Lucy Lu & Matthew Broadrick…or Densel, which ever he’s feeling the walking tempo to be;)…are two of my SUPERCOOL friends…..and THEY’RE HAVING A BABY!!!! WAHOOOOO!!!!! Now…I’ve NEVER photographed them before, so I will admit I was a little nervous. Wasn’t sure how they were going to like the camera… and as you can see by this first pic, Steve was terrified. HAhaha
Ok…for this picture, I told Nicole to sit on the floor and pretend she was a little Asian Toy Doll…ok, a little Asian-Pregnant-Toy-Doll…ok, a little Asian-Pregnant-Happy-Toy-Doll. I think she pulled it off nicely. She’s such a Doll. 🙂
I pretty much specialize in fun, lighthearted shots…it’s what I think I’m best at, but every blue moon I do a “pretty” shot with lots of mood to it, and it turns out so good I surprise myself (sorry to brag…doesn’t happen all that often). Well…the Moon was big and blue on Saturday. This is one of those shots. Although, in the back of my mind…where the egos of my self praise can barely be heard, I realize that much of it has to do with just how damn beautiful Nicole is….but I’d just like to keep thinking it was me…so shhhhhh!
And then…ah, yes….the CHARACTER SHOT! Under the same roof live the gourmet cook (Steve) and the five-star-worthy baker (Nicole). They have lots of different talents & hobbies to choose to incoorporate into the Character shot, but this cook vs. baker thing is “them everyday”. I think Nicole was a little freaked out by Steve holding the gigantic knife for the picture…but come on, he’s not dangerous…just a pot-head (in a non-illegal way, of course).
