Little Will

Jamie and Billy were the last session for Images for a Cure. They came by to update their family pictures with their sweet little boy Will. As Jamie put it, “he’s not getting any younger!” So yup, gotta get pics of the little guy, while he’s still little! Will cooperated for the most part, and I think he liked me. He seemed to laugh at me for awhile but then stopped as soon as I tried to take a picture. I think he did it on purpose.

Jonas! and Joey & Natalie too

Joey and Natalie (from 31films) came by the studio with their little boy Jonas for the Images for a Cure event. Natalie brought along Jonas’ Halloween costume, which as you can tell is Charlie Brown. Jonas did pretty good for the whole shoot and we even got some smiles from him. We did have one incident…someone accidentally forgot to bring extra diapers and they were needed! So while Natalie ran to the store we grabbed some shots of Joey and Jonas.

Enjoy the pictures. And thanks for checking out the blog!

PS: Had the Tres Leches cake at Chuy’s tonight. Have you tried this yet? It is AMAZING. Just one more thing keeping me from Crossfit.

Alex | College Park Senior

Alex’s senior session was done as part of our Images for a Cure event and he was also at the studio the day before for the Furry Friends shoot with his two crazy labs Sam & Coco. Alex’s mom told us that Alex wasn’t big on the idea of getting senior portraits taken, which wasn’t surprising since most of the senior guys we’ve met before feel exactly the same way. But the session was great… Alex brought in his guitar and played a little and I got some great pictures. Totally painless session, right Alex?

Aaron & Rachel

Aaron and Rachel were the third session for Images for a Cure. Rachel also came by the day before with their little min-pin Nina (she’s the one in the green collar with her tongue sticking out). These two will be celebrating their 1 year anniversary next month. I was actually there when they got engaged. We were out doing a photo session and Aaron surprised Rachel with the proposal mid-session. Such a cool moment to be able to capture. For their session, they wanted something a little different and since Aaron works at 31Films we decided to do some pictures with some of my old cameras. I think the old cameras matched them quite well. We even got an American Gothic feel in one of the shots. Thanks for viewing this post! And please leave a comment if you like!

PS: Aaron is the one that got me hooked on Crossfit. Well it has been almost a month since I have been there and I blame chocolate cream Oreos. They are so delicious and tempting.

Emily & Jonathan…and Perry

Emily and Jonathan were the second of six mini-sessions that we did for Images for a Cure. They came to the studio with their cute little pup Perry (I wanted to steal him for our pup Cooper). Now even though they don’t look old enough, they have already been married about a year. They are a great couple and made the session fly by with the great smiles and laughter. Jonathan and Emily – if you ever need some one to watch Perry, let us know!

PS: On a side note about dogs. Do not watch Marley & Me. It is a great movie, and was very sweet, but the end is a cry fest. I would like to think that I am manly but I have got to admit this movie was a little rough.

Miss Isabel

Isabel was the first session of the day for the Images for a Cure event. We’ve met Isabel before and even saw her the day before the shoot since she brought her doberman named Raven in for the Furry Friends Photo Op… and every time we see her she’s a total ham! When we saw her for the doggy shoot she wanted to pet our dog Cooper, and even gave him a treat from Raven’s treat bag… as she was leaving she told us that Cooper winked at her when she said bye. It was very cute. So we figured she would be ready to ham it up for her own photo session the next day. Well her turn in front of the camera came around and she was surprisingly shy! Come to find out, that morning when she woke up, her front tooth had become VERY loose and I guess she was trying to keep it hanging on! We did get some great shots of Isabel and her smile….and a few crazy faces towards the end too. By the way- as soon as the session was over, she walked over to her mom and handed her the tooth that she just pulled out. Yup. Classic.

Weekend of Giving… October 10-11, 2009

Clark Lara Photography — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 01:31:48 +0000

So this October we’ve decided to take a weekend away to do something to give back.

If you know us, Rica & myself, we are big time animal lovers. Our dog (Cooper) is pretty much our baby. He goes to the studio with me everyday, just like he has a job to do himself. He clocks in everyday and is paid in doggie treats. =) So on Saturday October 10, we are doing a “Furry Friends Photo Op”. Bring in a bag of dog/cat food to donate to the Humane Society of Montgomery County and we’ll give your furry friend a 15 minute photo session and an 8×10 print!

If you don’t have a pet, no worries we have something for you too! On Sunday October 11, we will be participating in Images For A Cure. We will be doing 30 minute “mini-sessions” throughout the day and 100% of the session fees and 50% of all the package fees will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.

If you are interested in making an appointment for either one of these events, please contact us at info@clarklaraphotography.com. We look forward to a great weekend with all of you and hope that we will be crazy busy all weekend!!

And since a post without pics seems weird…here’s a picture of Cooper.
