How to photograph a photographer

by justin on January 11, 2011

in Idaho, portraits

Stephanie and John live in Maine. But they haven’t always lived there. They both grew up in Pocatello, Idaho (that’s where I was born!). And even though they’ve been married 10 years, they’ve known each other for quite a while. Get this. I didn’t know it at the time I was taking these pictures, but later in an email, Stephanie told me that she met John 30 years ago on that very street where I photographed them.

So now they live in Maine. I already mentioned that. John’s a doctor and Stephanie’s a photographer. Over Christmas they were back home in Idaho. So was I, and so I got to meet and photograph Stephanie and John, and John’s family. Stephanie was so fun and pleasant to be around. Since she’s a photographer, too, (plus a great conversationalist) I think I might have worn out my welcome.

Thanks, Hatzenbuehlers, for letting me join you for an hour or two during the holidays.

Justin, these are awesome. I love the one of them in the street where they met..you captured a great look on both of them. The one on the back of the truck is so fun. You do know how to take a good photo.

Steph and John are good friends and you’ve done them justice here – both in words and images. Lovely all around.
