Joseph + Jean Engagement | San Francisco | DeYoung Museum | Baker Beach | Presidio

Fri, 30 May 2008 20:17:29 GMT

So hard to update all our online outlets as always but I have decided to just duplicate posts from my main blog to keep things simple for now. Oh yea my blog went through a total redesign so pics are insanely large now.

Engagement shoots are on my list of “most fun” types of shoots. It makes me so fuzzy wuzzy on the inside just seeing two people in love with each other and having the honors of capturing it!

As I create my wedding packages, I want to include an engagement shoot in every single one because not only is it one of my favorite things to do but it allows me to get to know the clients (and them to get comfy with me) well enough so that we are comfortable with each other on the most important day!

It was simply bliss shooting Joseph and Jean’s engagement! Good thing they had a hybrid car because we drove around the city alot finding good places to shoot! Thanks for driving Joseph! I can tell that Joseph and Jean really love each other which makes them naturals at posing because they are so comfortable with each other! Made my job easier and more fun seeing how two people can be so perfect for each other! But I had to try to force myself to try different things for some shots and I have to hand it to Joseph and Jean for being willing! Can’t wait to shoot your wedding! It’s going to be my first =).

a couple of highlights, the rest are on my blog

Oh boy, so much has happened in the past few weeks! I keep telling myself I shouldn't neglect this xanga but it's been hard keeping up with all these online outlets we have!

So I'm skipping ahead to the present because I (Lynn) was able to attend Scott Robert's SF Workshop this past weekend (Please check my blog or the Flickr site to see the backlogged pics that aren't posted here). I learned so much! For a more personal view on things please do look at my personal blog at bloglkc.kaitanium.com.

I am going to continually update this post as I finish editing my pictures. So keep checking back for the latest updates until I finish all my pics! I do feel like my work has been taken to the NEXT LEVEL!

I should also note that contrary to our description and info, we have ended our free period of shooting now. But we do have introductory rates. Please contact us with your job and we'll see what we can do for you!

Scott is always able to get the best looking models! I was mostly shooting the day with my 30D and a 50mm f1.2L.

This is Chelsie

This is Johanna

This is Alexis. I have the most pics of her because our small group was able to spend the most time taking pics of her.

A Year Remains

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:54:00 GMT

We had the opportunity to shoot our friend's band named A Year Remains last month. I keep saying sorry for the lack of updates simply because we have been busy and too busy to update all our online outlets sometimes! But here are the pictures at last. It was a fun shoot nevertheless and more practice for us. We really love photographing people and every opportunity, big or small, is a cherished one!

I you would like to hear their music, they have multiple venues coming up in the near future including one at the Underground Cafe at Roseville on April 4 from 8-10:30. A couple of other bands will be playing too. There is a $10 fee to get in. Or you can check out their Myspace profile at http://www.myspace.com/ayearremains

Remember that if you want photos, we are currently still shooting for free (depending on your event and organization) for personal photoshoots! So book your times in if you want us to photograph your occasion soon

And as always check out our Flickr site or join our Facebook group for all the pictures and latest updates.

Amy & Andrew Engagement

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 04:36:49 GMT

One day doing wedding photography is the main goal of us two here at Plainsight. We love wedding imagery and the art of it all that we can't wait to get started. But to get there we need to be patient and learn a few things first which is why we are doing photography for free currently.

When Amy contacted us to do an engagement shoot for her, I couldn't tell you how excited we were to finally be able to do the very thing we are in business for. So before I begin, I just want to thank Amy and Andrew for allowing us the honor of shooting your engagement pictures!

We went to Napa Valley to shoot and there couldn’t have been a better location up here! So many beautiful vineyards, so many different types of architecture, so much nature! Not to mention that Amy and Andrew both love wine! It was perfect for us as the photographers and them as the wine connoisseurs! Thank God it wasn’t going to rain that day but the rain the days before left some pretty dramatic cloud cover for us to work with. We basically followed them around for the entire day and went vineyard hopping.

We got a whole bunch of great shots that we can't all post here so head on over to our Flickr!

If you want us to do your engagement, we'd be more than happy to schedule you in!!!

The Yans

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 20:35:47 GMT

I’ve known the Yans now for about 4 years now after they started trickling into my church one by one. There’s a total of 4 of them, 2 sets of sisters: Elaina, Katie, Nancy, and Linda. I’ve known Elaina for the longest time since she’s been around longer. 4 girls, roughly the same height, roughly the same age group, and with the same last name. The term “Yan Clan” was derived so that we could call them together with greater ease hehehe.

More shots on the Flickr!

A couple of families

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 20:15:36 GMT

Still posting older items! Almost updated with current stuff!

We changed up our logo and got rid of the happy face symbol. We are going to start advertising ourselves as a more sophisticated photography group as we head closer and closer to shooting for weddings and portraits.

Anyways here are a couple of families we shot for separately late last year. As always enjoy!

Esther and Oreo Pie

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 20:51:38 GMT

Still trying to catch up on the older photoshoots here. Almost done posting the older ones!

Oreo Pie may sound like food but on the contrary is the name of a rabbit! Just like a human, Oreo Pie was nervous at first when we first started off the shoot and didn’t move much. But as the afternoon went on he began to move around more. He’s still a chill bunny though. He won’t go darting away if you just leave him on the ground but instead he’ll sniff around a bit, clean himself, then go sniffing around again. You can imagine that the day was full of “AWWWWWWWWs!” and “soooo cute’s!” Especially from a family of kids that came over to pet and play with him.

Oreo Pie belongs to Esther Swen and since Esther will be going away she needs to give him up to another loving family! So sad. This was a portrait session of mostly Esther and Oreo Pie but I also wanted to make it a friend shoot too since all her friends were there. So here we go. It was definitely fun shooting with all you gals and again thank you for the opportunity!

A majority of shots are posted here but our Flickr has a couple more from this shoot!

Sharie, Steph, Yvonne

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 04:52:24 GMT

These 3 girls are roomates and they wanted us to do a shoot for them for fun! So long story short, we did. I (Lynn) personally know these girls from my on campus Christian group. It was a great time for us to get used to people shooting since it was one of our first people shoots. Much thanks for the opportunity ladies! A+ for Derek's homemade reflector too.

Also, a short sidenote, we are now a part of Amazon Associates. It’s simple, if you are looking for camera equipment to buy and want to know what we use to make our images (or recommend) then click through our "store" at http://astore.amazon.com/plainphoto-20 (or the ads provided below...that will be uploaded later) and buy through there. In doing so you will help us out and help us be able to afford new equipment! If you want an item that's not in our store, let us know and we will add it.

It’s like a two for one deal! You get what you want at Amazon’s rock bottom, awesome, no tax, no shipping prices and we get a little help too! Thank you!

now on with the photos!
