Kristi…Completely!

All right there, for those of you waiting for more from our friend Kristi – here you go!

We rose this morning (albeit a little late) to complete the shoot of this lovely senior. We had a great time – good weather, we didn’t put Kritsti in too much danger (although we tried), and the late addition of a mutal dating partner, aka Kyle (at least I’m pretty sure it’s Kyle) made the day complete.

Here’s the exciting conclusion – Enjoy!

After Hours…With a Trio

We finished the day of many shoots with a special ‘members only’ performance by this trio, which now I will just call ‘The Un-named.’ I’m not really sure that it was members only, or if anyone besides myself was wearing any Members Only clothing (love their fall coats), but all of this is beside the point.

What matters is that I heard a version of Puff The Magic Dragon that borderlined on free-form jazz experimentation. I didn’t know whether to weep in its subtle beauty from chaos, or to noodle dance in a Grateful Dead sort of way, but this too is beside the point.

The point is, here’s some pics – Enjoy!

Shawna In The PM

Our day of working with super-fantastic clients continues, as Shawna and her roving gang of assistants graced the studio this evening with their prescence! She totally tore it up in what was a rollicking good time of photo-graphy.

We just stuck around in the studio this evening, but soon we will have the thrilling conclusion to our time together, so keep peeling your eyes in a methodical manner being careful not to scratch your retina in order to see for yourself. For now, we thank Shawna for all of her hard work, and look forward to working with her again soon. So, off with all of these words, and on with the snaps – Enjoy!

Wade In The AM

Wade ventured into the studio this morning, where he encountered a not quite so bright eyed and bushy tailed Otis & James. But we pushed all of the zzzzzzzz’s from the night aside and jumped right into some super-snaps.

Super-snaps turned out well, very well indeed! James did a great job, while Otis basically made coffee and got soda-pop, and moved ladders as directed to by James. A big thanks to Wade, as he rocked it up! In fact, see for yourself – Enjoy!

Pat & Christi

This past Saturday, the Otis & James caravan rolled over and up to beautiful Upham, a part of the never ending summer of weddings!

Pat & Christi were a late addition to the summer tour, and we are so happy that we were able to be a part of their super-big day. We had a great time working with this awesome group, and we thank one and all for their work to make these photographs really sweeeeeeet. Also a special thanks to the Northern Lights for making a special guest appearance.

So, to summarize: Upham is good, glad to have Pat & Christi on board, good group to work with, Northern Lights creepy/cool. Congratulations to the Bride & Groom, and on with the snappy-snaps – Enjoy!

Breaking Down the Fourth Dimension

At Otis & James, it is our goal to slowly find our way into our clients photographs.
One client at a time, until our goal is achieved.
That’s the Otis & James difference.

Natalie, Complete!

This past Monday morning, our old friend Natalie was able to bust out of school for a little bit to complete her super-fantastic senior shoot! We found our way to the places only ragged people know.*

As usual, Natalie was sweet to work with (and that’s sweet in non-syrupy way.) Thank you again to her for all of her hard work, and to the rest of you, take a look at the proof – Enjoy!

Kelsey!

Last night we again found ourselved right in the midst of Senior Portraits, and this time we were lucky to be with the lovely and talented Kelsey, with special guest Mom! These two came in and brought good times to the land of Otis & James.

And even though the weather was less than perfect, we managed to get a bunch of great stuff in the studio and downtown – James & Kelsey did the hard work, while our special guest (Mom) was led on a guided tour of The Blue Rider (the photograph of Kelsey against the blue wall is, of course, The Blue Rider (not to be confused with Der Blaue Reiter, but that’s a discussion for a different day.) Back to Kelsey, we wound up being rained out, so keep your eyes peeled for the conclusion to this action packed adventure. Here’s some of the story – Enjoy!

Heather From Friday On Monday

This past Friday, we were in great company as we had the good fortune of working with Heather and her lovely assistant (Mom.) Heather brought her A game to the table this evening, and it truly showed in our work together. She had a ton of great ideas, and was open to any we had – absolutely great to work with!

So, thank you again to Heather, and here’s some of the goods – Enjoy!

Patty, Part II

This morning, we drug our lazy butts out of bed bright and early to complete the shoot with our friend, Patty! I must admit that 7:00 AM comes a little early after a late night (I was blogging, not partying). But after a shaky start with a little too much fog, the sun came through and we got a ton of great pics!

Thank you again to Patty, and to her great assistant (Dad) for all of their help – you know the drill, on with the pics – Enjoy!
