Portfolio Session with Jeni D. Sanabria

Ok, so I was up at the buttcrack o' dawn this morning (4:45am) to get ready and out to a sunrise portfolio shoot with model, Jeni D. We shot at the lake.

First off, Jeni D. was awesome. Sweet, cute, kind, respectful - couldn't have asked for more from her. Secondly - my hope was to do strobe shots with the sunrise.


It was gorgeous when we arrived. Golden orange sun and clouds. I set up the equipment and got through about 20 frames or so, when it started to ran a little. Luckily, Jeni brought another "Andy" with her, and he helped me rush the electrical equipment back to the car.

Who says you can't shoot outdoors in the rain?

We were not deterred. I grabbed two golf umbrellas and had the other Andy hold them over himself and me while I continued to shoot through the rain... Special thanks to the other "Andy" at the shoot for holding umbrellas and toting equipment. I appreciate it.

I was using my new 70-200 L IS and my new 34 1.4 L - and yes, I was petrified I was going to get them wet.

Here are some of my favorites, followed by a slideshow link to all the whole set.
