Shooting with Tanya...
Meet Tanya,
Had a fun time photographing this young lady, immediately when meeting, there was a huge smile and such positive energy. While chatting with her during the shoot Tanya told me " Never let life break you, always wear your best smile and have a positive attitude"
The energy this young mum had during the shoot was off the chart, however she did warn me that she had a love for cameras and they loved her back. She rocked the session without even trying.
While wrapping up the session she spotted a lady walking her Bouvier puppy and immediately she walked over and asked the lady to borrow her puppy. Thanks Margaret! you can read her blog post about the breed of the dog here http://barbadosbouviers.net/wordpress/
Thanks again Tanya for letting me work with you.
Sheena and Girlfriends…
The way I see it, if I have photographed you more than twice... you are my client. You would have seen Sheena before with her family, this time Sheena is back with her girlfriends and they were a crazy and fun bunch to work with.
Somehow Sheena managed to find what I would have to call the most deserted place in St. Philip to shoot in for this session. However, it made for a pretty cool spot to shoot, I never would have found this place during this century. It has now been geo tagged.
Sheena called and asked about my availability in July for a shoot with her and a few girlfriends, we confirmed the date and time. Before the session started they said " we not models, so you have to pose us"... "Just relax and go with the flow and enjoy the day, you are here to have fun"
Honestly, I must say, it was a good session, I still think they're crazy!
Thank you Sheena for allowing me to record your memories.
Wesley and Sheena,
This blog has been long overdue, like about a year!...
I first met this couple May 2016, Wesley had contacted me about doing a Family shoot / Birthday Shoot. The location was arranged, somewhere level with not too many obstacles as he was on crutches due to an accident.
Don’t think I was prepared for how serious this accident was, Wesley hopped out the car with a huge grin on his face, then I saw how bad the accident was. I was shocked, Wesley greeted me with a huge grin and a firm handshake and said: “Brother Jason, how you?” Whatever grumbles I had during the week were nothing compared to what Wesley had to endure over the past months.
I smiled and said “holding on sir!” Immediately I had a respect for him. Closely following him was his girlfriend, making sure he was ok. I was introduced to Sheena who greeted me with a twinkle in her eyes and shy grin, I also met the rest of the family “Tan Tan” and Kyla.
Just as we were about to start the shoot, mother nature had other plans and decided to introduce us to a monsoon. Not daunted Wesley suggested we could do the shoot under the covered area of Codrington College, somehow I don’t think he wanted to disappoint Sheena and the girls. We pressed on and we did pretty well. Images approved and prints made.
Last year sneak peak below:
How do you know when a client is satisfied with the level of work/service?
They come back!...
Once again I got a call from a familiar voice “Brother Jason, how you?, It’s time for another session”, I could go on and on, but I know you want to see what went down at our second session. Wesley is doing good with his recovery, Sheena is rocking some long curls and the kids are growing nicely. Oh, Wesley said we are doing this again next year life be spared and we “Gine updeting!”
Here's what went down in 2017.
Thank you Wesley and Sheena for letting me capture these moments in your lives!
