Had a BLAST shooting Shannon and Jon’s engagement photos! Excited about their upcoming wedding… just around the corner.

American Midnight – By Brandon Barr and Mike Lynch

Adam Kazmierski — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 00:26:37 +0000

I know Brandon Barr through his brother Justin, who was my best man. Many years ago I did a headshot for Brandon, and he came back asking about doing a photo shoot and cover design for his upcoming book, American Midnight. He had a great model in mind, and we had a lot of fun with the photo shoot.

Brandon and I wanted something that was of emotion. Our model, Christine, represents the main character, Tania. Dark, emotional, fear, and anxiety were the words that we tried to convey through the shoot.

Here is my personal favorite from the shoot,

And here is the finished cover, used some images from iStockphoto.com.

Head over to Brandon’s blog to find out a little more about the book, and what he does.

Is this thing on?

Hi all. Sorry for the lack of posting lately! Contrary to what you might think, it’s not that I haven’t been busy, it’s that I’ve been SO busy that I haven’t made time to post. I wanted to drop in with a baseball shot I did for iStockphoto.com.

I always try to stay a few months ahead of the curve with my stock work, hence putting baseball images up now (baseball season starts late March/early April, with spring training in February!)

This is an old, dirty baseball, and I thought with the right light it could turn out pretty cool.

Thanks for stopping by, and keep tuned in to see what 2010 holds! It looks to be an exciting year!

It’s that time of year… The Low’s Family Pictures!

One of the highlights of my year, every year, is getting to shoot this family! Ryan Low was my RD when I was at Biola, and I spent a lot of time with him and the Low family just talking, eating, watching 24, and taking photos. A Christmas photo shoot became sort of a tradition, and the time came this year where we went at it again. This was probably the most fun shoot we’ve had yet!

Little Emily has come a long way from being such a whiner to the most helpful girl, grabbing Will when asked, and smiling beautifully!

Beautiful mom and daughter. The kids definitely got mom’s eyes. Sorry Ryan… but this is just okay with me.

Riding on Daddy’s shoulders… cute shot of father and daughter

I am going to quote from Ryan’s facebook: “it’s so funny because it looks like he was having a great time, but atually he was being a royal pain in the butt. There were a few times I wanted to throw him in a tree. But this was a good photo.”

Mom and her little boy!

Portraits of the kiddos

Another family shot.

So much fun… already looking forward to next year!

Had an opportunity to do a shoot for a non-profit organization, US Dream Academy. It was a combination of videography and photography. As I was driving home, I passed one of the more interesting displays of art that I had ever seen in person. I made my own display of art of said display of art.

Ryan and Cristina (updated) – Etiwanda Gardens Wedding Photographer

Now presenting… Mr. and Mrs. Ryan and Cristina Tirrell! I had such a great time photographing this wedding at Etiwanda Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga. The venue was serene, and the people were awesome. Enjoy taking a look at some of the images from the day.

I’d say he looks happy to see her, wouldn’t you?

Here’s the scene

Cristina’s ring was beautiful. I also have to give props to Ryan, his was pretty neat as well.

Show us those pearly whites…

After a trip to Trader Joe’s

Adam Kazmierski — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:44:40 +0000

Emily and I have a few straggler gift-cards remaining from our wedding gifts, one of which was to Trader Joe’s. The time came where my longing for peanut butter filled pretzels and Emily’s continued search for good Naan led us to the store. Something was whack yesterday, almost everything in the store screamed, “buy me!”, including a beautiful Phalaenopsis Orchid.

I have been eyeing this flower for years, always wanting to photograph it but never willing to spend the money on it. Finally caved yesterday, and it is beautiful in our house. I wanted to share a few of the photos that were taken yesterday.

Focus on the front curly parts, I love the color blurred out in the background on this one.

This was Emily’s favorite, I like it a lot too, how it contrasts with the black background.

Reason for Watermark

Adam Kazmierski — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 22:37:00 +0000

Just an FYI- you will probably notice that when I post images, oftentimes there will be a watermark over a part of the image. The reason is not that I want to be self-centered and get my website out there even more, (shoot, if you’re viewing the image then you’re already at the site!), but because of my contract of with iStockphoto. Exclusive iStockphoto.com artists can’t “give away” pictures, and posting full resolution images without a watermark might be intepreted as such. Anyways…

Welcome

Pardon me while I get this blog up and running. In the mean time, check out some photos!

This is one of the funniest shots from Emily’s and my wedding.
