Hansen Photo Shoot


I did a shoot for some family friends the Hansen's. They had family in town for the holiday and wanted to get a few shots. The have a great home for taking pictures, a beautiful Alaskan log cabin. The only problem we ran into is that Jan thought that he wanted the house to be nice and cozy so he fired up the wood stove. As you can tell by the picture above we posed the family right in front of the stove. Needless to say it got a bit warm for the shoot. What you can't see is that I had stripped to my underoo's because it was so hot. OK, maybe I made that part up, but it was hot and the thought did cross my mind. Fortunately we were able to get some shots outside where it was close to -75 F. OK, maybe I am a compulsive lier, but it was around 0 F. The shots outside were a bit quicker because no one was wearing jackets and the photographer was cold. There are quite a few more pictures here.(Click it!) The outside setup shot is here (see if you can spot the ghost of Christmas past). The photographer even got a shot of himself courtesy of Becky. Need to stop talking in 3rd person, seriously annoying. ~Erik

I love the Hansens! And although the stove was hot, that picture is my favorite. That picture has made me miss Alaska more than any you have posted so far. Boohoo.
