Kaitlyn

08.19.09

Now I don't often advertise or showcase my senior shoots, but my session with Kaitlyn went so well and had such a variety that I thought I'd share. Kaitlyn is a dancer and chock full of energy, and we ended up doing one other session for her dance images which I'll post soon. I'm pumped about all the senior sessions I've shot so far this month, so if you're interested, feel free to email me for info: ch@collin-hughes.com

I'll be gone until Aug 30th on a whitewater rafting trip with my family, so you may or may nor hear from me until then, but if I get a chance from the hotel we're staying at for the night, I'll try and blog a couple more shoots from July/August.

Hi Collin!

Dan and Annalise

08.06.09

Dan and Anna were sooooo awesome, the two are such a fun couple and couldn't be more perfect for each other. Dan just moved to the Twin Cities area in the past few months and Anna has lived here her entire life. Both of them are so relaxed and were open to just about anything for their pictures, including incorporating Dan's souped up VW Jetta, which the couple has spent much of their time together in traveling around the country exploring and shooting weddings together. Check them out: http://danoksnevadphotography.com/

I'm super pumped to be shooting their wedding in January and even more thrilled to get to know that we shared an enormous pizza from the infamous Cossetta's in downtown St. Paul.

I've been shooting so much in the past week, and I'm super pumped to blog it all. I've got about 8 shoots to finish and 6 more on the way before I leave for some whitewater rafting in a couple weeks with my family. So stoked!

**UPDATED gallery with more from our shoot together!

Craig and I have been really good friends for a couple years now, and our friendship started back when I first did pictures for his band The Drive Back. He then offered to build me my first website, which of course is long gone now ;]

Craig just picked up a new 50d a couple months ago and asked if I could teach him a thing or two so we made an afternoon of it. We went to a local gravel pit with some props and had an awesome time, and Craig was super stoked on what he learned. If you want to hear just how awesome his voice and music is, here's a new track from there full length due out this fall:

The Driveback - Landlocked

It's been cold weather here in Minneapolis lately, and I've been spending the last few days finishing editing and looking for a new car.

Awesome day and super stoked for the coming weeks, look for another blog post in the coming days!

I've been finding it more and more important to be shooting for myself lately and have been doing so at least once a week. It not only helps to develop creativity and vision for what you are shooting, but also allows you to work on craft, direction, and style. Because you are not working under pressure, it relieves the boundaries associated with an assignment and gives you free reign to push yourself and experiment.

I've been keeping busy and am really excited for things that are lined up for the next half year. I'm in the process of getting my new website up and filling it with more content, but feel free to check it out for the time being. It has an awesome contact form you can fill out if you have questions or comments.

Happy 4th everyone.
