Melissa+Family

We did a session today with Melissa Plett and her lovely family. Everything about our surroundings allowed us to shoot in more of an editorial style. Muted colours and having to shoot indoors, albeit a beautiful location, forced us to use our Alien Bees. Not that we minded one bit. It gave us a chance to exercise our lighting muscles.

Our Approach

We like to direct our shoots a lot. We tell people where to look, how to sit, when to smile, where to move. Not because we're control freaks but because we want to provide the best possible images to people who put faith in our work.

Lani+Jeff will be getting married next spring and we're honoured that they chose us to photograph their big day. It will only happen once and we aim to provide the best we can. Our talented friend Brent 'shot and chopped' (we borrowed that expression from him because it's pretty cool) this video of us 'in action.'
