On the cutting room floor
I had agreed to shoot some photos of my friends for their Christmas cards this year, and while setting up I used Lonna and Harrison as stand ins so I could adjust settings before our friends arrived. After the shoot, I was going through the photos deleting all of the test shots, when I came across the photo above. Click on it for the full size, it’s worth it. I just wanted to share this perfect moment that I almost threw away.


That is an awesome photo! I think it shows how beautiful Lonna is and how happy she is being a mommy. (It’s easy in perfect moments like that, right?)
Love IT! Lonna is beautiful.
That is an awesome picture. Beautiful.
Most of the best pictures happen by accident, and it is nice when you catch a perfect moment on film. You can then look back at it when the moment isn’t so perfect and remember why you love being a Mom. The two of you are lovely.
Wow~
I love how serene this picture is, the background, the lighting, Harry. Seriously James it’s always your cutting room floor pics! (Though I’m sure the ones on purpose turned out fantastic.)
I hope you frame this one too!
And I love how camera-ready Lonna always is. If I’m “behind the scenes” I am a mess. I don’t know how you do it-I seem to remember right after you had Harry looking like you walked out of the hair salon.
I guess that is part of your always be prepared motto!
Job well done, this shot is breathtaking!
I agree, this picture is really great, and it really shows off how pretty Lonna is. I really like the light and dark contrasts.
I’m in love with this masterpiece. This belongs in a magazine or an art gallery or something. It really is a simple, classic, beautiful photo. Thanks for sharing.
I love this picture…the look on Lonna and Harry’s face is so great! Lonna is a beautiful woman. Really good picture James. I sure am glad you didn’t delete it!
What a great picture!
What a great photo! So this spring do you want to do family photos for me when you are in Utah sometime? How much do you charge?
Love it!!
