Pete’s Junkyard Portraits and More

June 8, 2013/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Pete and I worked together on two different occasions to make his senior photos. The first time around we did some junkyard portraits with the goal of creating something a little edgy and dramatic followed by a few football themed portraits.

Our second session this spring was focused on getting the “softer side” of Pete which just did not fit well with the locations of our first session. For the second session we were in Montana. Pete went along with me to assist on another senior photo shoot and then afterwards we found a number of locations that worked great, the first of which could not have been more appropriate. Yes, that sign really does say Pete Creek, no Photoshop trickery here!

Lastly, here are a few other shots of Pete that I took during some of the other occasions that he filled in for my regular assistant and helped out on a shoot.

June 7, 2013/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Daranie is going to be a senior at Priest River High School and is one of my Class of 2014 Senior Models, for her first session with me we worked on her senior photos at the ranch of a family friend. We had a great time and had the sun not set could have kept going for hours, but as you will see with photos from the end of our session I am very glad that the sun did indeed set because the sunset made for an amazing backdrop for the final part of our session.

Arielle Walden – 3 Time State Champion

Recently I had the pleasure to meet up with Arielle Walden, a three time 100 Meter Hurdle State Champion in Washington State for Newport High School. This year she was competing in three events, the 100 Meter Hurdles, the Long Jump and the Triple Jump. She brought home gold in both the Hurdles and the Triple Jump and a silver in the Long Jump leading Newport to an 8th place team finish as the lone competitor for the team! Here are my favorite shots from our evening together.

Slipperzzz at the Pend Oreille Playhouse (Newport Washington Photographer)

March 27, 2013/in Live Performances /by Jason Duchow

A couple of months ago my wife noticed that the Pend Oreille Playhouse in Newport, Washington was going to have auditions for an upcoming play called Slipperzzz. The casting call was for actors in grades 3-6 and my daughter decided she wanted to give acting a try. The play followed the story of Cob the shoemaker and the 12 dancing princesses who keep wearing out their shoes. Slipperzzz was written by Jeannette Jacquish, and directed by Alyssa Miller and Duncan Heaney and they did an outstanding job with these 25 actors ranging in ages from 8 to 13.

I attended three of the six permanence and for two of them I was there early to get some behind the scenes photos. If you want to keep up with what is happening at the Pend Oreille playhouse you can visit their Facebook page and click the like button, they do a great job and are well worth having in your Facebook feed! Enough said now here are some photos.

Kiernan’s Senior Photos – Sandpoint Photographer

March 15, 2013/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Kiernan is an avid skier and wanted to wait until Schweitzer mountain in Sandpoint, Idaho was covered with snow before he had his senior photos taken. We had a great day for photos with some good drama in the sky and such a great location overlooking lake Pend Orielle.

We started out with some poses with his skis the next two shots were the same pose from different directions but they are both processed a little bit differently in photoshop so I decided to include them both.

The location we were at had a great view of the valley and mountains but then when we turned around the other direction there was a rock cliff that when put out of focus made a nice natural backdrop.

We lucked out with a rare partly sunny January day for this fun family portrait shoot near Newport. The bright sun and highly reflective snow creates it’s share of photographic challenges but the rewards can be so much fun!

Gingerbread Houses

December 31, 2012/in Product Photography /by Jason Duchow

One of the fun things we did in my home for Christmas was letting the kids make gingerbread houses. Technically they were not gingerbread houses because they were made from Graham Crackers, but they are the exact same concept. The kiddos did such a great job and their houses looked great so before allowing them to munch down on them we took them to the studio so we could get some photos of their architectural masterpieces! I helped the kids take some of their own photos and shot a few of my own. Check out these great houses.

After using the studio lights we turned out the lights and photographed a couple of the houses with a technique called light painting. This technique gives you a different look every time and I would have liked to do some more painting but at this point I did not want to deprive the kids of their sweet treats any longer.

Fall Family Portraits (Sandpoint Idaho Photographer)

December 27, 2012/in Children's Portraits, Family Photos /by Jason Duchow

These photos were shot back in early October with the plans of using them for Christmas cards and gifts, so as to not be the Grinch that stole the surprise I have waited until after Christmas to publish them! We had such a great combination of colors for this early fall family photos shoot, with the use of a nice big diffuser we were able shoot almost exclusively with natural light which makes life much simpler when you are photographing a family with three kiddos!
