I work with Jeff at the station<\/a>, and was excited when he and his wife asked for this session.\u00a0 I knew it was going to be good!\u00a0 Jeff is always good for a laugh.\u00a0 He’s a producer at our station who is really great at heckling people.. especially the directors and anchors.\u00a0 Okay, so he’s a great producer and father too.. but heckling is what I know!\u00a0 You see, before we stopped using physical tapes for the newscasts, the shows used to be a lot more, uh.. ‘vocal’ on the intercom.\u00a0 I used to load the tapes for his shows, and he and I used to play off each other upping the harassment of the good-natured directors.\u00a0 We still find opportunities to harass when it’s called for… like when we find out co-workers haven’t seen movies that ALL Americans should see, like It’s A Wonderful Life!<\/a><\/p>\n

We decided to meet at the beautiful Hart<\/a> Park<\/a>.\u00a0 I had actually never been there!\u00a0 I’ve lived in Bakersfield now for a combined 7 years or so, and people couldn’t believe I hadn’t been there.. neither could I!\u00a0 Wow this place is nice.\u00a0 If I haven’t been to a shoot location before, if I can, I usually like to show up beforehand to ‘size up the joint.’\u00a0 Melissa and I made the short trek out there a couple times to figure out a good place to shoot.\u00a0 I couldn’t decide!\u00a0 No wonder its a favorite for Bakersfield photographers!<\/p>\n

I love the way this session came together.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy it, we certainly did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
