Say Cheese!

A friend of mine here in Oregon is starting her own photography business and putting together her portfolio. She asked if she could use my kids as models and pay us in pictures. I said I'd have to check with their agents but it should be ok.

The kids had a blast at the photoshoot. They found their inner Fashion Model and hammed it up in the way only Rand, Savannah & Scout can.

Mandy (the photographer) was great with the kids, let them be goofy and silly and just shot and shot for a couple of hours. She experimented with different lighting and backgrounds and funky poses and ended up capturing some truly precious and quintessentially Gomm-Kid Moments. Afterwards she digitally altered some of the pictures for some unique effects and sent us a HUGE file full of startling and sweet photos.

I love Mandy's photography style. You can see her other great pics including lots of architecture and still life shots from her urban exploring as well as other people she's captured here at her blog.

Here are some of my favorites:
