I went out west the end of September to spend some time with my mom in San Francisco and photograph Julie & Bobby’s engagement session. I was a short, but great trip and I’m so glad Julie & Bobby took me around their city and I got to experience some of what the area has to offer, along with take some pics of the two love birds
Thank you for hanging out with me and being so wonderful to photograph!
While photographing Emily, I randomly shot a few quick clips. I created a short little movie, which I’m calling a motion portrait…I feel it does a great job of showing Emily’s presence as well as a feel for the sessions itself. Enjoy
brilliant, man, great stuff! love the idea of the ‘motion portrait’
awesome work dustin! great session and love the natural feel of the video with the handheld movement and focusing!
Love these, Dustin! and the video clips are great!

A few weeks ago, I met up with Kaitlin & Mike for their engagement session at the Grosse Pointe Academy where Kaitlin used to go to school. It was a perfect place or some fun pics of the two and we had some lovely light as well I adore this session and am excited to see them both in less than two weeks Everything was shot with my Nikon F100, 24 f/1.4, 35 f/1.4, 50 f/1.4, and 85 f/1.4 on Kodak Portra 400 and processed by the awesome peeps at Richard Photo Lab.
Great photos, Dustin!!
Oh i love this one too.
i really dig this couple.
These are freakin awesome dude!
Love these….especially by the water. Love the sailboat, tree, and really the whole composition. Not surprising. We need to catch up.
Uh…yeah you did! (RE: lovely light)
beautiful set dustin!!
I’ve wanted to photograph Kate for a while, so we made it happen on a crazy hot day. Kate, who is as equally awesome behind the camera, as in front of it came out to Ann Arbor for some pics and sushi I love how everything turned out, but have to give her equal amount of credit for being so wonderful to photograph. All images shot with my Contax 645 loaded with Fuji 400H and the 45 f/2.8, 80 f/2, and 140 f/2.8 lenses.
lovely session with images she’ll treasure. love that contax & film.
I love that you’re shooting film more brotha! Looks great!
So awesome. LOVE the water photos! And you’re right, Kate totally brought it. But looks like you did too. 
these are really cool, really love kate’s look. i really like the black and white where she is against the tree.
