My first shoot with James.
November 3rd, 2009
Hey guys,
On Wednesday last week, I went on my very first photo shoot with James. It was like nothing either of us have done before. We went out to Blue Hole to shoot Emily and Pru Stark doing some dance poses in some fantastic outfits. Pru is now one of the only people in the world who can say she went swimming at Blue Hole in the rain in a tutu
When we got there James put a camera in my hand and told me to go for it. To start with I just took photos of what ever James told the girls to do but after a while I put a few of my ideas in as well. My most important job on the shoot was to get Pru up on top of large rocks and then get her back down again… that made for some interesting grazes and cuts on the bottom of my feet, although I didn’t notice at the time because I was having too much fun.
Another of my very important jobs was to hold onto Emily so that she didn’t go floating off down the river and falling off waterfalls, I was wet in my jeans up to my knee so I figured I might as well get in the water and join in with the girls. We had some fun doing hair flicks in the water while James kept taking photos and laughing at out facial expressions as we came out of the water.
It was rather cold when we got out which might prompt some people to call what we did crazy, but I call it commitment to the job.

This is the product of my pain… it took a lot to get her up there and even more to get her down.

I love this shot, the dress is amazing and Emily is stunning.

I took this shot, of the ones i took, it’s definitely in my top 5.

Pru on pointe, She’s talented this one.

Me looking photographerishness.

James being the boss.

You know what my 3 words were for this photo shoot? Though I didn’t actually tell you my 3 words, you captured them perfectly……….
1. Breathtaking 2. Quirky 3. Stylish.
I could not have asked for more. We had such a wonderful time with you both and it is a memory I shall treasure forever. Thank you for your daring attitude to your photography James. By pushing the boundaries and asking more of the girls than they ever thought was possible, you have created some spectacular images. And thanks also to both of you for your tremendous sense of fun. I love you both very much. Jan xxxx
