Spokane Portrait Photographer: Personal Shots

Written by Matt S. on February 7th, 2010

There’s never really such thing as a private moment when you’re the wife/daughter of a photographer.

I’ve been trying to get used to my new Nikon D3/85mm combo (oh baby.) so I’ve been carrying it around with me. Yesterday was haircut day for mom & Kels (Reagan would have but she’s growing it to donate to Locks of Love again. Baby G & I are due for one soon). The outstanding new hairstyles, along with the beautiful afternoon light shining through our wall of windows compelled me to grab some shots that I love, so I figured I’d share.

Fortunately for me, these daughters & wife don’t seem to mind being in front of the lens.

Here are a few of the photos I took.

P.S. The B&W photos are natural light shots and the color shot was taken with my new Photek 60″ Softlighter & AlienBee.

    I prefer the sheer economy of the D700. The IQ is 99% as good as the D3s. I have a grip for it too. It’s comparable to the D3 in size with the grip on, but it’s nice to be able to take the grip off and put on a 50mm for walk in the city.

    For the price of a new D3s, you can get a used D700 + grip + 24-70 and still have money left over.
