Justin Part Two
May 25, 2009 // Portraits / Seniors
So by now you know Justin, but what you didn't know is that he has the most adorable sisters.  When we first started our shoot I knew these girls were going to make Justin smile, I just didn't know how much.  So fun to see these siblings smile and laugh together, after all isn't that what it is about?

Just a few of my favorites from a recent senior session with Justin.  We wandered Old Town with his uber adorable sisters.  More on that in another post! :)   Thanks Justin for a great time!

In keeping with my tradition to see things differently I rented a 35mm 1.4L from Pro Photo Rental.  Seriously loved that lens...hated to send it back, but alas some day I will rent you again, or better yet perhaps my lovely wife could surprise me for Daddy's Day!  That would be cool...after all I am a good dad. Now all I have to do is get her to read my blog. ;)

Awesome shots Zak! I'm really loving that first one!! Great job! As to the lens -- so wanting to rent it for San Fran. I think you're just an all around good person, if I do say so myself! :)

greta, smitten:

love these, you caught some great light my friend!! my fave fave fave is the one in that first set of four on the bottom left. the b&w. great job!!

and about the lens - sweeeeet!!! i would give up my 85 1.8 AND my 24 2.0 to have that lens!!!! too bad hocking both on ebay wouldn't be enough! it's numero uno on my lens wish list.

Lynn:

Hahaha, let me know of that ploy works because I have a half-birthday coming up....that counts right? I am very intrigued with that 35mm 1.4. I think I may have to rent it soon too. :)

Great session. Love the black & white ones with the fence. Very cool.

Really love the top b&w photo, the light is gorgeous, and the use of the fence is fantastic. Awesome set!

He is too cool yo!
My fave is the one against the wood fence. The little touch of sunflare is awesome, sets a tone of the setting sun, which is perfect for a senior shoot.

I love that lens too! Have you tried the 24 1.4 yet? Most ppl like the 35 better but I like the 24. ;)

Zak Schwank:

Thanks everyone! Lynn, I'll let ya know how my Father's Day goes. Hopefully I'll be posting a new toy on my blog soon. :) Becka I haven't tried the 24 yet. I really loved the perspective of the 35...hmmm now you have me thinking. May have to rent the 24. Hold on Jennifer don't get me that Father's Day gift just yet. :)
