Lets meet at 9 and just have fun!




This is what fun looks like. And this what every one should do!! A few weeks ago I posted something about shooting more types of shoots for ladies just to make them feel good about themselves. And this is one of them, this shoot was planned in about 20 minutes between me and Melisa, the model in these photos, and the end results are freakin' magical. 
I think every women at least should schedule a shoot for themselves, wear their favorite dress or outfit or wear that dress you love that you only could pull off at a formal wedding or the golden globes or something. Find a location and go take some non traditional portraits, why you may ask?? Because you only live once, just do it! You will be amazed at what it will do to your self esteem. This shoot was supposed to generate about 10 images and well I am still editing it at 50 images, we put our heads together and I through out ideas and she threw out ideas, we brought props, we even did a little chatting and laughing and talking. It was one of the more fun shoots I have had in a long time. You even could have used the summer special for this too, but now that the summer special is expiring tomorrow this session is going to be $100. And if you would like a to add a $50 print credit to the session you totally can, I would recommend that too because what is the point of going out and having this much fun and letting your images sitting on a dvd just waiting to be printed? These types of shoots are designed to function more as art than just portrait work. If anyone is interested in one of these shoots and is on the fence about, do it! They make an amazing gift as well. 
Besides the fact that you are starring in your own art, these shoots are so much fun. This one in particular was a riot, we had amazing light and some great conversation, we got to play around with props and just have a relaxed and great time. We may or may not have trespassed but it was totally worth it. 
To book one of these or to gift one of these sessions to anyone, email cynthia@unobstructedstudios.com, and I will get you completely taken care of set up for a shoot. Think about the face that you don't have to just use this for women, think of how beautiful an artistically spectacular image had your child in it?  
One of the things that made Melisa a perfect match for this shoot was her willingness to try new things and run with new ideas and also bring ideas to the table as well. You can book one of these and go the simple route or you can book one and go over the top Avant Garde jumping in the ocean in your wedding dress, it is based on your preference and willingness to try new things and make some awesome art. Think of all those cool shoots they always do on shows like Americas Next Top Model, wouldn't it be fun to try some of those, not the ones with any live animals or bugs though. Take a look at the images below and enjoy the beauty of them and consider your own!

Tiny Little Dancer



Here is just another look at the summer special and all the great images that come from a 30 minute shoot. These sessions are such a great value, you will always end up with a little bit more than the flyer says you will. 
And by the way this is Emily, she is a beautiful client of mine, her and her mom have been clients since last year when I first shot Emily's dance recital and then we did posed pictures after that. Her dance recital was amazing. And this year Emily has begun ballet too!! I am letting her get plenty of practice before I take her to the wildflower fields for some beautiful ballet shoots. 
She comes from a line of very strong willed women from her mom to her grandmother. This family is amazing and I am proud that they are my clients. Emilys mom is taking Emily on her first cruise to Honduras around to the Bahamas or some place lol 
They are just a great family all around, they are a family that is close and that sticks together. Emily as tall as she is, is only 11 years old, but she is smart and polite, she definitely already has the pose of a ballerina for sure. Each of these 30 minutes sessions finishes up in the allocated time and still there are always extra pictures and when I am done the clients have not even broken a sweat yet, so it is the perfect session time. 
Look through the images below and consider booking your session today before it is gone and no longer available!! You can email cynthia@unobstructedstudios.com to set up one of these summer specials.
