charmaine + saul | u. of san francisco | lifestyle session
sometimes as i'm crossing over the bay bridge for a shoot, i get certain feelings. sometimes i get frustrated at the traffic on the bridge, other times i'm rockin' out to sesame street or muse, and then there are those times that i'm hoping for a good shoot. i remember driving across and feeling a certain nothingness before this shoot. it was like the calm before a storm. i didn't know charmaine and saul (pronounced like sow) and had never met them before. this was a lifestyle session and not an engagement shoot. so the car ride over had a different vibe. little did i know that it was going to be one of the best shoots ever!
why? because, charmaine and saul were amazingly fun to work with. we talked and talked and talked and did some shooting in between all the talking. we explored nooks and crannies. hit up some cool back lighting and found our way into a construction site! a photographer couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and inspiring session.
my background in cinema prompted me to carry out this sequence.
