Wedding Photography at Forum Homini Part 2

I can’t resist posting a few more of the workshop photos I took at Forum Homini.  I’ve been editing more of them, in order to choose my favourites to submit for review by Dror and Andrea, and found more gems in the process. I also thought I’d show you some shots of the other photogs...

56/365 – Raindrops keep falling on my head

I’ve been asked a few times over the last few days whether Connor is ok, after those sad photos I posted on Monday, so I thought I’d show you that he was as right as rain  Excuse the pun  He’s not back at school yet, because he’s still on a diet with no fruit juice...

He seems to have a more relaxed and content smile and just loving the raindrops.

Michelle - February 27, 2010 - 9:55 am

What a gorgeous photo of Connor and glad to hear (and see) that he is feeling better.

Girish (78 comments.) - February 27, 2010 - 6:01 am

Seriously, I love this kid. The energy is totally amazing.

This might sound a little kiddish that too coming from a guy but I hope whenever we might have a kid, “This is the perfect model” ;)

Avril (Mom) (385 comments.) - February 26, 2010 - 10:07 pm

55/365 – Photobook ready for delivery

I took delivery of my first album this afternoon, and I’m so very pleased with it.  Adina‘s mom ordered it and it contains all the photos from her batmitzvah portrait session as well as photos from every year of her life. It’s a book containing very many memories. It’s a leather bound book, only 15X20...

Photo books are really common here in the US, some better quality than others. Do you battle for suppliers there?

I am busy with photobooks for every year of our lives (strating 2005 with the princess’ birth) – but it is a very long term project.

This looks fabulous – not sure if the place I choose will deliver what I want, but they did one for a friend that looks great.
