Tonight, Pete and I went out to The Hill's. No, no. We didn't take a weekend trip to California. Rather, we went south of town about 20 minutes to our friend Jeff Hill's house. Jeff asked Pete and I to come out to his house and take some pictures of him, his sisters, and their pets that they could give to their parents as an anniversary present.We met Julie, Jeff, and Jessica at about 7 p.m. and spent about an hour snapping pictures. Although there is currently a little hostility between the family pets (Jack doesn't quite get along with Max, Zazu, and Lola), the Hills themselves were wonderful to work with; they did whatever these amateur photographers told them to do, and came up with some fun ideas of their own, including the one above.
You'll notice that my "copyright" on this picture is for "P&E Photography". That's because Pete and I really did work together to get this shot. I was trying to get the Hills jumping from this angle, and Pete was working another. He had, however, decided to use a flash, and that flash went off at the very moment they were jumping and illuminated Julie, Jeff, and Jess just perfectly.
I haven't had time to go through the more than 300 photos that resulted from the photo shoot, but I'm looking forward to it. Thanks, Jeff, Jess, and Julie for being the subjects of our first commissioned photo shoot!
