Ella and Kale

Mike Panic — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 22:57:49 +0000

Sister and brother Ella and Kale, friends and previously seen in part of Jack’s shoot, also braved the cold weather, Kale without his jacket which apparently is his style. His rosy red cheeks and nose became very visible towards the end of the shoot, even as we moved inside. It became obvious really quickly that Ella loves being in front of the camera and have a feeling she’ll be doing a studio shoot with me soon. The kids had a blast at the park, then we went inside for some photos, a few of which I’m sure Kale will hate when he starts dating and Mom and Dad break em out to show his girlfriend.

Jack

Jack’s a pretty amazing one-year old, whose Mom wanted some holiday photos and managed to get her best friend together for a shoot the same day with their busy schedules so there is some cross over in the photos as all the kids are friends. His massive blue eyes were captivating to shoot, he also didn’t seem to care that it was 37 degrees out, more than happy to wonder around the playground.

Jaclyn, Ryan and Kali

Hard to believe it’s Kali’s second Christmas already, seems like yesterday was her first. This year Jaclyn asked if I’d join them on the tree choosing hunt with Kali, then dressing the tree and finally shots in front of it. We had an amazing, spring like day for December and Kali picked the perfect tree all by herself. This will be her last Christmas as an only child though, Jaclyn and Ryan are expecting twin boys in spring, so next year’s shoot will have some more smiling faces in it.

Tiffany, Gwen & Isabella

My second year shooting the Stewarts, this year with the addition of Isabella but without Alan because he was involved with Movember and not feeling photo-ready (I strongly disagreed), also missing Kayla who wanted her own photo shoot – so look for their photos coming soon. This year we walked around Downtown Bethlehem on a perfect fall day for the shoot.

Amanda, James, Kylie, Taylor & Nelson

It’s so hard to believe this is the fourth year I’ve been shooting Amanda and James, along with their two little girls. Looking back, Kylie has grown up so much, Taylor was a baby bump and can now walk on her own and Nelson, well he still loves his ball. On a perfect October afternoon we met at the same spot we started at back in 2008 and had a great day of shooting and Amanda didn’t forget the girls’ hats this year either!

Intarsia | Mannerisms and Modernism

Mike Panic — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 20:35:25 +0000

This was a second campaign that, as far as I know, never got to see the day of light from Intarsia. The concept was hard lines and shapes to go with the soft fabrics, I think it worked out really well.

Studio 950 Salon

In addition to photography I build websites, write copy and a bunch of other things, and when friend and client Chad needed a new website for his business, he also needed new photos to go along with it.

Lauren & Marcus

Longtime friends Marcus and Lauren have been talking with me for years about doing a shoot, but life has been in the way. Busy schedules finally cleared away on what couldn’t have been any more of a perfect fall day for a fun shoot in what amounts to be their extended back yard. Marcus, an avid Volkswagen enthusiast for as long as I’ve known him also figured it would be a perfect day to drive his vintage early 60’s bug to the location about a mile from his house, without the intention of it being anything other than a mode of transportation since it’s still being restored. Instantly I knew it would be a prop in our shoot and I’m really happy with how the day turned out.

Dylan XVX x Antisweden

Friend and graphic design artist Dylan XVX hit me up about doing a shoot for a design he was campaigning to Antisweden. Because of his passion for design and his belief that it’s better to actually see his work in real life rather than just as a graphic on a website, he went ahead and printed off a few shirts and asked me to shoot them for his submission. With the help of Britny I think we pulled it off very well, and so did Antisweden. The shirt is now available for pre-sale via the Antisweden website. Congrats Dylan!
