It's a Good Start
I had my first paid photo shoot today. I was nervous, but excited. How can you possibly shoot a bad picture in downtown San Antonio? There's just too many rich colors and textures to use. My friend Meghan's brother, Michael, and his fiance Quyen (pronounced Quinn) were in town from Houston and asked if I'd be interested. Heck YES! <---that was my answer. So, after lunch at Mi Tierra's (my first experience), we decided to do the pictures at El Mercado instead of heading down to the riverwalk itself.
I had a really good time and Michael and Quyen were a lot of fun to work with. They had some great ideas on where to shoot too. I need to work on my list of 'poses'. I've only got so many I can think of.
Here's a sample. But the rest, as usual, can be viewed on my Flickr site.

Colleen, these are awesome!
Thanks, Knut! I'm pleased with how they came out.
Wow!!!! I can't believe my brother is actually smiling in these pictures. I am checking out the flickr site now. Great job so far! I really like the red wall. Did you enhance that at all?
I will have to look into why my name appears Joe Bob...hmmmm.
Thanks! Him and Quyen did great at posing.
Red Wall - Nope, I actually desaturated it some because I thought the original was a little TOO overwhelming.
GREAT JOB COLLEEN!!! :) It looks like you captured their personality so well!!! :) Congrats on your first PAID gig!!! :)
These look great! Dave and I never got engagement photos and I'm thinking I might be able to coax him into something...now that we're married n' all - would you be up for it? I just think it would be nice to have some couple pics without me in a wedding gown. I'll talk to him and keep you posted :-)
I'm down Calli, just let me know when :)
