Beautiful Aerial Drone Video of Austin Scenes
Beautiful Aerial Drone Video of Austin Scenes
During these spring Covid days my normal architectural photography work in Austin was slow, so I decided to spend some time shooting spectacular scenic video of mostly Austin attractions. There are also some scenes from Gavleston and Ponte Vedra. This is a perfect Spa Style video to watch during meditation, relaxation, yoga, pilates or during a hot bath. The video is shot with Mavic 2 Pro. This video shows off the best of Austin, Texas, and why it is that we all love Austin so much.
Austin Family Portrait Photography with kids
Austin Family Portrait Photography with kids
Photographing an Austin Family Portrait with kids is very rewarding but comes with built in challenges. Managing a nice conversation with the clients while setting up a 12 foot backdrop and a 72 inch umbrella on a 300 WS Vision 4 strobe is not easy. Especially when there are 3 kids under the age of 7 wanting to play with the camera gear. But I let them play with it as long as it is secure because it makes them invested in the 2 minutes that we are going to be shooting.
I let the kids trigger the wireless light from the camera so they can watch it pop. That’s big fun for them. But my biggest tick in the bag is being sure my wife is there to help. While I am behind the camera pulling the trigger, she has Bert and Ernie puppets behind my back popping up over my shoulder to provide just one single flash of a smile. That’s all I need. Samantha is the queen of managing kids and parents and her always profusely sweating photographer husband Johnny.

Fun family portrait with 3 kids
This was a fun family portrait with 3 kids. But first you have to let the children play. This playground was exceptional for entertainment and it offered several nice scenes for a family portrait. This first one is my favorite because the kids were the focal point and the starts of the shot. That always make shooting kids easier – when it is about them! This portrait was lit with my 2 Vision4 strobes and my Canon Mark III camera.
