You can’t miss him. He is probably the hardest working guy in the group and it is also tough to not notice his cowboy hat, boots & jeans. Well, I finally took the time to introduce myself and get to know him a little bit. I found out that Randy has recently lost a lot of weight, so much so he was wearing a size 42″ waist. He was also struggling with alcoholism and has been doing very well lately. On top of that, he is proud to boast that he has met the love of his life and he is in a very good place right now. In his spare time, Randy enjoys kicking back with his guitar and singing old country music. Randy was kind enough to pose for a couple portraits in front of my camera.

While I was in town, a few of younger cousins that wanted to do a photoshoot with me. We found a pretty nice little area back behind the house in the woods. It was very overcast and rained off and on that day. I brought my softbox with a 430EXII and also used some natural light. We shot for about an hour and got some pretty fun images. This set is of my cousin Hanna. Hollywood better watch out, this girl knows how to strike a pose. Oh, and this 14 year old is a pretty kick @$$ soccer player too.

I made sure to use some of that nice diffused natural light too.

And you can’t forget the indoor rock star with sunglasses shot :)
