I work with Jeff at the station, and was excited when he and his wife asked for this session. I knew it was going to be good! Jeff is always good for a laugh. He’s a producer at our station who is really great at heckling people.. especially the directors and anchors. Okay, so he’s a great producer and father too.. but heckling is what I know! You see, before we stopped using physical tapes for the newscasts, the shows used to be a lot more, uh.. ‘vocal’ on the intercom. 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. 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!
We decided to meet at the beautiful Hart Park. I had actually never been there! 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! Wow this place is nice. 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.’ Melissa and I made the short trek out there a couple times to figure out a good place to shoot. I couldn’t decide! No wonder its a favorite for Bakersfield photographers!
I love the way this session came together. I hope you enjoy it, we certainly did!
