Drop It Modern

WOW! This is the second time that I have ever used a backdrop with my photography. I always believed it was hard to bring life into photos in such a staid atmosphere. But I was wrong, again! I asked some of my friends if I could photograph their children and had my kids model for me to experiment with the backdrops. I LOVE Drop It Modern backdrops.

I LOVE this collage of Keegan in this great wedding dress from After 5

Just for fun she grabbed Cole's skate board and brought it into the shoot!

Then there are the photos of Charlie and Cole. I decided to ask Cindy to convert these to BW because I thought it would look a bit more 'bad boy' like. I LOVED the contrast between their 'bad boy' personalities and the elegant backdrop.
Then there was Maddy. I love the subtlety of the black backdrop. I can't wait to use it with this great black dress that Keegan just bought. I love the subtle and rich texture of this backdrop. The women at Drop It Modern really know how to create textiles that are elegant, photographic and photograph beautifully.



I LOVE the skateboard in this photo.


I LOVE the black and white conversions of these backdrops too!



I LOVE the shallow depth of field that I used while photographing Maisy. I wanted to change it up a bit and get some depth in an otherwise flat atmosphere. Maisy is able to bring her personality out while in front of the camera. Finally, I have an office in downtown Livingston but not a studio. I sold my studio lights years ago and honestly don't like using them for portraits. So when it was time to do this photo shoot I set it up in the shade in the ALLEY right outside of my office. It was a perfect location. I will be using these more often in my on location photo shoots and at weddings.
