Paddack Photography

Just a random photo from a recent engagement session. As I was searching through the images pulling the “selects” I almost skipped right over this image… Because its out of focus right? But the more I looked at the more I was drawn to it. In the end I kept it because I like it and sometimes that a good enough reason for me.

Last week I was in Vegas at WPPI. The worlds largest wedding and portrait photographer convention and trade show. One of the nights I went out with a friend Victor Sizemore to a shoot he had planned in the desert. The shoot was styled by another friend from high school - Grey Likes Weddings. It’s not what I normally do… you know shooting models in a dry lake bed in the middle of the desert. But if you’ve read my blog in the past you know that I believe it is important to step out and stretch yourself as a photographer if you are going to continue to grow. Here are a few from the shoot.

So one of my closest friends went through a mid-life crisis at 29 and bought himself a corvette. I would have bought the new Camaro, but hey… to each his own. While I was in Dallas he asked me to take a good picture of his new baby… actually he asked me to take a picture of his car with his wife on it… in her bikini… you know Def Leopard style. She, on the other hand, was not up for that idea. Anyway, I thought the shot turned out pretty cool so I thought I would share.

Happy Birthday Clint! I hope your new car makes you feel better about turning 30
