Cassie & Mark: Adult Siblings

Today, I had the chance to photograph by best friend of 22 (wow, that makes me feel old) years! She told me that the only thing that her mother wanted for her (leap year) birthday this year was a photograph of her and her brother. I faced two very difficult challenges with this shoot. The first challenge was the question of how to pose an adult sister and brother. Since they are way past the age where lovey-dovey, cutsie stuff just won't work, we had to get creative. Fortunately, since they both have such unique personalities, it turned out to be a simple task! The second challenge had to do with location; and the weather. We had planned to shoot outdoors (as I currently do not have a studio set-up). It would have been a nice day (41 degrees isn't too bad for February in Boston), but the wind ended up being a problem. After the first few shots, we all knew that this location just wasn't going to work today. Desperate to find a last minute location, Cassie suggested that we go to her place of work; an orthodontist's office. I thought that especially with these two, the opportunity could really be a fun one; and that it was! The bottom line: you can make ANY place into a studio.
