When Tiffany graduated from college, her mom wanted to do something really special for her. So she commissioned us to take Tiffany out for an afternoon photo shoot. We started out with the prerequisite cap and gown shots (Tiffany wisely opted NOT to wear the cap, but simply hold it), then very quickly moved on […]

One of our favorite things to do in Paris was “sample” the variety of foods and tasty dishes. This was an exciting adventure in itself because half the time the menus were written completely in French, with no English translation (!!!). So occasionally, we’d get something that was nothing like what we expected, considering our […]

This one wasn’t actually shot in Paris. But I just had to include it in the line-up because we really enjoyed meeting a variety of warm and enthusiastic photographers while in Europe. We had a chance to help Jerry out with his workshops, and two of our favorites attending the class were Berty Greenbough and […]

We decided to get a closer look at the Eiffel Tower. On its northern side is the bridge crossing the Seine River leading back to the Trocodéro, and on its southern side is a long narrow park of grass and walkways lined by benches and trees. This park is where we now found ourselves. Although […]

While we usually avoided the major tourist traps in Paris, how could we resist spending at least a little time at the Eiffel Tower? We walked across the bridge that leads from the Trocodéro to the Eiffel Tower. Once we got there, it was only then that we appreciated how truly massive this structure really […]

Immediately across the Seine River from the Eiffel Tower sits the beautiful park of The Trocodéro, which is also the site of the Palais de Chaillot. Many thousands gather each day to enjoy the grand views of the commemorative structures, the peaceful greenery of the park, or to gaze upwards at the Eiffel Tower which […]

“I feel good!” or perhaps “You make me feel like dancin’!” or I could go with “Dancin’ Machine!” However we choose to title this one, it just makes me laugh every time I look at this photo. 🙂 We were still walking by the Seine River, and Jerry asked me to “Dance!!” I don’t know […]

French couisine is everything that you’ve heard it would be — flavorful, filling, and beautifully presented. In fact, one of the most enjoyable features of Paris was checking out the various cafes and dining experiences. Yumm! Never feeling at all rushed, we were able to enjoy our meals at our leisure, and sit for long […]

There is a dark underground tunnel giving pedestrians access to the base of the Arc de Triomphe. This tunnel served as the location for our next fashion session. The concrete texture of the walls provided texture, and the low lighting provided a sense of mystery. I love the look of longing in Jenni’s green eyes, […]

Paris has the well-deserved reputation of being the “city of love”. Nearly everywhere we walked, we saw couples holding hands, touching affectionately, or kissing. We don’t know what it is, exactly, but there’s definitely something about this city that takes hold of you and sweeps you away in its romantic embrace. You would never imagine […]

Many of our readers know that we were excited to take a trip to London and Paris in January. The trip was part vacation and part work-related. During our time in Paris, we had the unique privilege of being photographed by multi-award winning photographer, Jerry Ghionis from Australia, who had asked us and our traveling […]

We’re usually so happy shooting weddings and engagement sessions that we don’t often get to talk about our love for romantic portrait sessions. That’s exactly the sort of session we had with Sue & Bob. We first met them at a fantastic wedding we shot last autumn. Having had some very friendly conversations with them […]

The three Beam Kids are a wonderful set of siblings who love life and who enjoy spending time with people. In fact, we felt as if they were family. Today they were the subjects for our cameras and lenses. They put up with a lot, too, with the breezy and cool weather. But since there […]
