Photographing the Parents!

A little while ago my parents commissioned me to photograph them for their 39th Wedding Anniversary! What a thrilling experience! We chose a studio session for the portrait and primarily black and white to enhance skin tones and for a timeless look.

I had a ball with my mom and dad...making them laugh, seeing them snuggle with each other, and some silly photographs as well. It wouldn't be the Banchi family without some sillyness!



The photograph below is my FAVORITE image from the session! I just love the intimate interaction between my folks. The genuine smile on my dad's face is worth a 1,000 words!


OK, so the photo below needs explanation to understand the craziness of it. My dad is a computer geek to the core! He loves his 4 computers....yes, I did say 4!! One just wont do. So, we were finished taking the beautiful portraits and I thought, we should do something silly like you would see a parent holding their child. So, my dad grabbed his Dell laptop and we did a series of him adoring his baby - his laptop! Hope it makes you laugh like I laugh when I see it!
