    Jenny Thompson for Peter Says Denim by Chris Martin | www.photosbychrismartin.com

    The great thing about having an amazing and beautiful girlfriend is being able to pull her out of bed at 5:30 in the morning to do a sunrise shoot for a clothing line that you needed to get done, but slacked on planning to find models.

    Last week I received a shipment of clothes from Peter Says Denim, an Indonesian clothing line who have branched out into producing not only Tees, but flannels, jackets, wallets, and as the name suggests – denim shorts and jeans. I ended up making last minute plans with my girlfriend, Jenny, to do a sunrise shoot to show off some of his new line…

    Hey Monday photo shoot for So So Happy Clothing by Chris Martin | www.photosbychrismartin.com

    Last week I met up with the Hey Monday camp to hang out at one of their last practices before they hit the road for the Vans Warped Tour 2010. It was good to hear them practicing some of the new songs they have in their arsenal to gear up for the release of their new album. The new songs sound so big, and I am really excited for everyone else to hear them!

    Enagement shoot with Ryan and Kyleen by Chris Martin | www.photosbychrismartin.com

    Last week I had the pleasure of doing an Engagement shoot for Ryan and Kyleen. I was hired to shoot their wedding in October and in the package that they purchased I had included an E-shoot so that they could have some photos before the wedding to send out in their “save the date” cards and for any other needs they may have pre wedding.

    Prestigious Clothing by Chris Martin | www.photosbychrismartin.com

    Today was the official launch of Prestigious Clothing‘s new line for 2010.  I had the pleasure of photographing the line for William this time around, and we had an amazing fun filled and very productive day of shooting.  Prestigious had the guys over at We Are Synapse make them a new myspace with the main header image that I took for them, and it came out looking amazing!  You can check out the myspace at http://www.myspace.com/thisisprestigious

    Easton by Chris Martin | www.photosbychrismartin.com

    My good friends in the band “Easton” decided to re-form after their reunion show a few weeks ago.  They have been in the studio for a good week straight recording new demos to send out and put on their myspace.  I was lucky enough to be a part of the recording process, and they guys asked me to sing on a few of the tracks.  When they come out you will be able to hear me on “She Walks In” and “Drop Out”

    Hey Monday, Versa Emerge, Go Radio & Take the Town @ the Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale, FL - www.photosbychrismartin.com

    On Sunday, December 27th, I took a trip down to the Culture Room to see my friends in Hey Monday at their hometown show with Versa Emerge, Go Radio, and Take the Town. I did a quick photo shoot (one of the shots is above) with them for Royal Family Clothing, and soon after, all of the bands started hitting the stage to rock the faces off of around 600 tweens.

    I took a ton of photos, and instead of me sitting here and blabbering about it, I figure I will just show you all of them exclusively here on the Photos by Chris Martin blog!

    Easton by Chris Martin | www.photosbychrismartin.com

    Last week, I did a photo shoot with the band Easton who will be playing a reunion show on the 28th down in West Palm Beach, FL with my band Words Now Heard, Upper Class Trash, Fight in You, and Truth About Vegas.  The guys in this band are some of my closest friends and I had a great time shooting with them!  During the shoot, my good friend and always amazing assistant, Mitchell Goldstein took some behind the scenes shots, and I wanted to give everyone a little peak of the shoot.  We found a great empty field out in Wellington, and it was a beautiful day so we definitely took advantage of it and got some great shots!

    Yesterday I did a shoot for my friends daughter, Parker.  At 21 months she is a wild child, and she was running around all over the place!  It is always so tough to shoot little kids because of how much they move, but the results always make the hard work worth while!

    Some quick tips if you ever find yourself photographing one of these little balls of energy…

    -  Have the parents bring a toy that the child loves to play with

    -  Be energetic and fun, and spare no expense to make the child laugh (even if it means hurting yourself!)

    -  Always have a positive attitude and remember that sometimes mistakes make the best images!

    -  Watch your language! Kids are super impressionable and will repeat almost everything you say if they are talking!

    -   Have Fun!

    Rain Miller & Kaitlin Robinson by Chris Martin | www.photosbychrismartin.com

    A few days ago I had a little bit of an outing with my friend Rain Miller http://rainmiller.tumblr.com/, and fellow photographers Kaitlin Robinson and Max Schwartz.  This time around Kaitlin switched it up a bit and took on the role of model alongside Rain and we had a blast!  I made a friend a few shoots ago with Derek, who owns a house near me that has an amazing barn out back.  He runs a recording studio in a few rooms of the barn and the rest is mostly open stalls and storage.

    Last weekend I was hired to take some photos for Kelly Chesney of her son, Trey.  I have been doing a lot of random child photography lately because of all of my friends that have recently had babies, but it is usually spur of the moment snapping away and not something that is a set up shoot.  The main thing I have learned about taking pictures of babies, is that you have to move super fast!  They never sit is one place and it is very hard to give a 17 month old direction!   When you get the good shots though, boy they are amazing!

    Trey was a wonderful sport, and I had an awesome time working with the Chesneys!  We also got some amazing images in the process.  I used some external lighting on these and some of the shots I did with natural light but I will be posting a blog soon with some in depth lighting info for all of you who are interested!
