The Steidl's

88 Buttons was so privileged to do the family shoot of the Steidl's. It's a funny thing, a family you've never met before trusting you to give photographic evidence of the life they're presently living. I'll never be able to get over the jitters I get as I edit pictures, wondering if they'll like them, and if they'll feel they got their money's worth in our work. The thing we prize most about what we do is when we share a picture or two with a client and they positively glow with excitation and tell us that they can't wait to see the rest. Everyone needs a little reminder of why we do what we do, and the Steidl's photo shoot was definitely one of those moments.

The Steidl's were so much fun to photograph. We ran all around town with them, it was hot, and the sun was definitely bright that day. However, this sweet family never even muttered about it. They were complete champs, and we were able to get some beautiful pictures of them.

So, without further ado, 88 Buttons presents the preview of the Steidl's family pictures. We give great thanks to them for letting us be such a special part of this memory. 

 

Lovely family. 

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the faces we got from this little diva!

Beautiful mama.  

So, there they are. Thanks again Steidl's for choosing us to document this time in your lives. We had a blast!

Until next time, 

Catherine and Ayrian

88 Buttons has a blog! Yaaaayy!

So Catherine and I finally caught up to ten years ago and made a blog for our photography (and possibly other adventures we have in our ridiculous lives). I actually made a blog for this same reason about a year ago, and I don't really know what happened to it. I don't even remember what it's called or my password to it, and I'm fairly sure we never posted in it.

However, it is our full intention to be completely faithful to blogging this time around, and we will now be posting all of our previews (and of course there is a possibility of showing other shenanigans) on this blog, and then sharing it onto our Facebook page. If you'd like to visit the Facebook page, the link to it is http://www.facebook.com/pages/88-Buttons-Photography/291665170850306.

So here we are, your very faithful and kooky photographers.

And please know that while we are just the tiniest bit silly, we are completely dedicated to our clients and want to give them images that capture who they are rather than what a backdrop and awkward pose says they are. Our mission is to give you a glimpse into the life you have now, whether it be your senior year of high school, your first anniversary with your sweetie, or your family with it's newest addition. What we want is for you to look back at the framed memory in your hallway, and think "Yeah, that's exactly how we were." Photography is not a job to us. Photography is an art, and we do our very best to express the people within the frame. 

So thank you for following our work, and if you are a client, thank you so much for allowing us to be such a special part of your lives and memories. 

If you'd like to see about scheduling with us, follow the Facebook link and message or call us. We would be more than happy to work with you!

With one successful blog post down, 88 Buttons says goodbye for now! 

Your very faithful and kooky photographers,

Catherine and Ayrian
