I&#8217;d have to say 2008 was probably one of the most eventful years of my life. Sure I&#8217;m only 24 but give me a little credit! \ud83d\ude42 With Christmas almost here, we professional photographers are at our busiest trying to meet deadlines, make shipments and of course make people look their best. Below are a few portraits I&#8217;ve taken that I liked. Hope you like them too!<\/p>\n<p>First up we have Ashly. &lt;&#8211; She wanted me to make sure I spelled her name right so please, no emails about a missing &#8216;E&#8217; in there. \ud83d\ude42 Ashly (again, no emails&#8230;.) talked a big talk about how she used to model and well&#8230;&#8230;she talks a big game but backs it up too. That&#8217;s rare. She made the shoot go real smooth. It&#8217;s too bad we got kicked out of that cool parking garage by security. Oh well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/blog\/ash01.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/blog\/ash02.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/blog\/ash03.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next up we have the good people of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bergelectric.com\/\">BERG ELECTRIC <\/a>. They were kind enough to welcome me back from last year&#8217;s Christmas party. Like last year&#8217;s party, they treated me like family and made me feel at home. This year&#8217;s party was in a beautiful ballroom at Red Rock Station. It must be a job requirement to know how to have a good time if you work for Berg. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/blog\/berg.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This next set was a great, easy going session. Sarah and her family found me on Facebook and asked me to take their portraits. Her husband actually went to high school with me. I asked him if he played guitar in the courtyard at lunch time and he said, &#8220;Ya, that was me.&#8221; Small world, eh?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/blog\/sarah01.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/blog\/sarah.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That same morning I also photographed Starr and her baby. This was my favorite from the session.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/blog\/star.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Check out her husband&#8217;s band: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leftstanding.com\">LEFT STANDING<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, we have a little girl who I&#8217;ll say is probably the most social 2 year old I&#8217;ve ever met. I photographed her a few days after she was born and will probably be photographing her for the rest of my life so get used to seeing more of her. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/blog\/lor01.jpg\" width=\"432\" height=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/blog\/lor02.jpg\" width=\"432\" height=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/www.tngphoto.com\/wordpress\/?p=12\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 1443781;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know about you guys, but 2008 was quite the year.
