Gingerbread Houses

December 31, 2012/in Product Photography /by Jason Duchow

One of the fun things we did in my home for Christmas was letting the kids make gingerbread houses. Technically they were not gingerbread houses because they were made from Graham Crackers, but they are the exact same concept. The kiddos did such a great job and their houses looked great so before allowing them to munch down on them we took them to the studio so we could get some photos of their architectural masterpieces! I helped the kids take some of their own photos and shot a few of my own. Check out these great houses.

After using the studio lights we turned out the lights and photographed a couple of the houses with a technique called light painting. This technique gives you a different look every time and I would have liked to do some more painting but at this point I did not want to deprive the kids of their sweet treats any longer.

Fall Family Portraits (Sandpoint Idaho Photographer)

December 27, 2012/in Children's Portraits, Family Photos /by Jason Duchow

These photos were shot back in early October with the plans of using them for Christmas cards and gifts, so as to not be the Grinch that stole the surprise I have waited until after Christmas to publish them! We had such a great combination of colors for this early fall family photos shoot, with the use of a nice big diffuser we were able shoot almost exclusively with natural light which makes life much simpler when you are photographing a family with three kiddos!

December 23, 2012/in Basketball, Sports Photography /by Jason Duchow

Every December Newport High School and Priest River High School trade off in hosting the annual Christmas Tournament. This was my third year covering the event which includes the boys and girls teams from the two rotating host schools as two other area teams. This year Northwest Christian and Selkirk were in attendance. After it was all said and done it was the Northwest Christian and Newport teams that would move on to the championship games the next day. Here are some photos from the opening day games, full galleries are available on my website at the following links.

Austin’s Senior Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

December 10, 2012/in Senior Photos, Sports Portraits /by Jason Duchow

Austin is the keeper for the 2012 4A State Champion Sandpoint Soccer team and we worked together at the end of August to capture some images for his senior photos in. Now that the season is over I was able to get his final choices and work up a blog post. As I often do we spent the first half of our time getting the more traditional yearbook friendly photos, then when we had those finished we concluded with some more dramatically lit soccer themed photos and some action portraits.

We were even able to sneak in a quick family portrait.

Now on to the action shots!

Abbot Family Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

December 7, 2012/in Children's Portraits, Family Photos /by Jason Duchow

I met up with the Abbott family for a “Dad and Kiddo Friendly” family mini-session. The goal was to get a great shot for Christmas cards while avoiding hypothermia. Most of the trees in the Sandpoint area had decided to shed their nice fall leaves for the winter but thankfully we were still able to find a spot that was still holding on to a remnant of fall color. Here are a handful of the shots we were able to get in our short session.

No, this quite turn around was not prompted, I am sure glad I did not miss it!

We wanted to get one more look in our time together so we picked a spot where we could get a kind of washed out, back lit look to a few of the shots.

Ciammaichella Family Portraits (Sandpoint Idaho Photographer)

November 26, 2012/in Family Photos /by Jason Duchow

It was a little chilly for this family portrait shoot but we had our lights set up on their back porch which was only a few steps away from the warmth of the house! There was also a bit of a breeze, but as you will see in the photos that kept the clouds moving so even in a short period of time we had a different looking backdrop in every photo.

Klynstra’s Family Photos (Sandpoint Photographer)

November 16, 2012/in Children's Portraits, Family Photos /by Jason Duchow

My family has had the pleasure of attending church with the Klynstra family for the last couple of years and our kids adore each other, which makes the purpose of these family photos a little heartbreaking for them. This wonderful family is heading off to serve in the mission field for Mission Aviation Fellowship and they needed a good family photo for their prayer cards. I was glad to help them out, it only took us a few minutes to get the kind of format that M.A.F. needed and then spend some time getting a few bonus photos for both of our families.

Cole’s Senior Photos (Priest River Photographer)

November 15, 2012/in Senior Photos /by Jason Duchow

Cole and spent some time at a few different locations around Priest River for his Senior Photos. We had some great fall colors and Cole was great in front of the camera and to top it all of the end of our session featured a great sunset with some amazing clouds.

The Pend Orielle River and a great natural light show made a great backdrop for the final part of this senior photo session. It does not get much better than this for environmental portaiture!

Jacob’s Senior Photos (Priest River Photographer)

Jacob is a senior wrestler for Priest River High School. Thankfully on this overcast day we stayed dry and the clouds added some great drama to the sky for some of our shots.
