Wes Roberts Seniors - {Lila's Prom Session}

April 28, 2017Wes RobertsComment

We love photographing our seniors in their prom dresses! There's just something about seeing them all dressed up and knowing it's their last high school prom...it kind of makes us emotional!

We loved Lila's session! Her dress was just perfect for her, the weather was amazing and the sun gave us some gorgeous afternoon light!

We are so excited to share with you these sweet images of baby Vada James. She is the sweet, newborn daughter of a former bride and groom of ours. We love it when our wedding clients return to us to continue documenting their life together as their families grow and change. What a blessing it was to hold this sweet new baby girl and capture these moments for her mommy and daddy.

Have a blessed day,

Continuing on with the “Life to Space” AI series here are a few of the ordinary moments in the extraordinary. You still have to have coffee. I’m loving the ability to create the imaginable with a “pen to paper” (used very loosely) technology. Ideas just fly into my head and as quickly I’m trying to see what it might look like. Im finding that I’m having to use my photography and art director skills the same for the concept, look and emotional feel to achieve the look I want. Again this is all AI generated by me telling it what I wanted. More to come from this series #AIart #midjourney #space #spaceexploration #thefuture #lifeinspace

I don’t really know what to do with this yet, meaning if it stays on this account or not, but I wanted to share anyway. Watching yesterday’s rocket launch made me think about the possibility of what it’s like to live in space. While it would be extraordinary years down the road to have a completely different lifestyle. Yet in the extraordinary there are the ordinary moments. I wanted to play around with a new technology to see what these extraordinary and ordinary moments might look like together. So, here is a look at life in space brought to us by AI. The emotions of what it’s like to prepare to leave to the actual departure. Could you imagine? #aiart #midjourney #space #spaceexploration #thefuture #lifeinspace To be upfront, everything that you see here was created by artificial intelligence and the platform Midjourney. Most everything you see was typed in as a description to the way that I wanted it. This has to be one of the most amazing and powerful technologies in the art world right now and will possibly change the landscape of art as we know it. I believe the future as a photographer/artist will be finding a way to unite traditional art with this new technology. I don’t believe fighting against it will do any good but learning how to embrace it and evolve will unlock the creativity of our minds in a way that we could never imagine.

Just some of the seniors I’ve been able to photograph over the years. These images tell their story and who they are and were. It’s the power of our stories that allow us to relate and connect. I am so thankful that I’ve been blessed with providing images like these to seniors and parents to cherish and look back on, remembering their senior year. 2024, let’s tell your story!

Here is another fun product shot that is surprising once you see the behind the scene. Sometimes simplifying the shot is the best so that the product is the main focus. The fun part about this is that the checkered background isn’t a backsplash but is the inside cover of one of my son’s nascar books. If you are a small biz owner with products that need some life in your pictures, reach out to me and let’s see how I can help. Btw, what’s your favorite hot sauce? Cholula Hot Sauce

So here is my behind the scenes on my setup for the Perfectly Posh lotion shot. Just as simple as a Pyrex dish, some blue printer paper and lifting the dish to move the water. I’ve always loved the challenge of trying to capture a wide range of subjects. I feel like if I can get the lighting concept down, add the creative touch, and keep the end use of the shot in mind, I’ll be able to photograph whatever my client's needs and be a more well-rounded photographer. Would you have guessed the setup would have looked like this? Wait till you see the next product shot I share and the BTS.

It’s always fun to play around and photograph different things. This came in one of my Meg’s (my wife) order boxes, so i decided to see what I could do with it. Just a fun beachy vibe. Btw, check out @innov8tive_posh, Meg raves about their products. Check back for a behind the scenes shot on the next post, you might be surprised how I photographed this.

I love it when I’m blessed with opportunities to photograph people/families over the years. Tabitha and CW are one of those blessings. Since Tab was in high school I’ve been able to photograph her senior pictures. Then I was able to photograph her and CW’s engagement session and wedding, and now as they are expecting their firstborn. We were able to meet up for some beautiful shots around Callaway and Pine Mountain. I am so excited for them and this next stage of life! Give them a congratulations! Btw, If you haven’t seen the work @callawaygardens has put in on the daffodils and tulips, you really need to check it out! Their hard work has really paid off. #wesphotography #alabamaphotography #georgiaphotography #couplesphotography #maternityshoot
