Maternity – Rachel and Greg – Part 1

admin — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 20:30:25 +0000

Rachel and Greg should have their own show on HGTV. Rachel repaints a room in her house about twice a month, and while most of us day-dream about relaxing with a book or recreating in some way after work, Greg day-dreams about mowing his lawn when he gets home. They both have an incredible eye for design especially when it comes to their home and garden.

It’s so fun to take photos of these guys because they look like rock stars. It’s hard to take a bad photo of Greg and Rachel. So when they talked to me about doing a maternity session I was stoked to say the least. Check these guys out!

I love making my couples make out during the shoot.

And then I love telling them that I stopped taking photos like, 45 seconds ago.

After a few posts on the new blog I’ve gotta send a big thank you out to my sister who is graciously hosting the markleonardimaging domain through her own website design business. Thanks, Sis! I couldn’t have launched the new blog without your help!

Sneak Peak – Elisabeth’s Senior Shoot

len20 — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 06:05:40 +0000

Here’s what we’ve got in the blog hopper for this week. We got so many great shots with Elisabeth this weekend there’s no way I’ll be able to blog them all.

Kyle’s Senior Photos Finale

len20 — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 08:11:00 +0000

It’s tough to find a full-time teaching position in February. I graduated from UND with a music education degree in December. I loaded up my Ford Explorer with as much as I cared about and headed Southwest to California where there was a girl waiting for me.

When I got here, I had nothing to do. There was only one reason for me to get up in the morning before 10:00 a.m. I had to teach a wild bunch of fifth-grade boys how to play drums. So I did, or at least I gave it a shot. They were crazy. It was like trying to tame an ant hill.

Kyle was one of those crazy fifth-graders seven years ago. At that time, we were sure that our adventure in California would last two, maybe three years. But here we are, seven years later taking Kyles senior portraits. And we wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else in the world.

The New Brand Coming Soon!

len20 — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 05:41:07 +0000

We’ve been working with the design team at Downstairs Design Studios on developing a new brand for Mark Leonard Imaging. Today we got to look at the logo ideas they’ve created and they are so totally cool and unbelievably hip I can hardly stand it. I’m so stoked! I can’t wait to launch the new brand. Be ready for a new Mark Leonard Imaging coming soon to a feedreader near you.

And we’ve got another set of senior photos with Kyle on the way too.

Senior Shoot with Kyle

len20 — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:31:19 +0000

It was a joint effort between his mother and me to convince Kyle that he should take a Saturday afternoon to shoot some senior portraits. I was preparing myself to have to work hard to get some natural smiles and expressions from Kyle, but once we started shooting, Kyle turned on the inner model. He turned out to be a natural in front of the camera, and we had a great time!

We got a lot of great shots on Saturday. I’ll have a few more to show in the next post so stay tuned.

A Few More Wedding Photos

len20 — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 05:57:16 +0000

I’ve got a lot more photos from the LA wedding that I shot with Melissa Koehler a few weeks ago at the LA Cathedral, so I thought I’d post some more.

This guy was into the Captain Morgan pose

Then he convinced all of the guys to be the Captain.
