Two out of three of my precious little loves against my FABULOUS new backdrop. I love this thing soooo much, I want one for every room in the house. Now that I think of it, they do come in teal and lavender…

Randy Barnett, portraits by Gillian Crane

One of my best friends from college. We’ve known each other for 22 years. I realized I’ve never taken his picture before. Well, in college I’d take pictures of his legs to mess with him, he’s got skinny little legs with very little hair on them (ha ha! he’s going to laugh when he reads this). He used to have a complex about it, but now that he’s older, he’s not so worried about trivialities.  After all there are more important things to worry about – the economy is a mess, he’s 47 and single…AND HE SPLIT HIS LIP AND HAD TO HAVE 5 STITCHES!!! when i first saw it i said “OMG that’s 5 stitches? it looks more like 20!!!….uh, it’s not that bad…really…you look fine…” Actually, i think it makes him look sexy.

Your pictures get better and better all the time! I love the pics you posted and Im impressed with the portrait pictures, as I think they are difficult to pull off. However, you excel at them! You are very talented and have a great eye.

Great pictures! You have a natural eye for photography and it shows. I love the composition of the concrete block wall and how it has the same texture as his beard. I was hoping for the skinny legs however!! Awesome…

Awesome! I also love your post about the skinny legs! I had forgotten all about that! What other demons from our closets can you resurrect and torment us with?? anyway, the photos are amazing…as usual and Randy looks great, which I’m sure is a reflection of both your talents and his hotness… Love and kisses, Xina

All I see are wrinkles and gray hair. (not to mention the damn scar-lip…anyone know of a good plastic surgeon?)
Seriously, your photos are really amazing. You are so talented…no matter what field of art you choose to dance in.

Laguna Beach Parents’ Club – Justin Roberts Concert and Carnival, photography by Gillian Crane

a fun event hosted by the LBPC to raise money for the Laguna Beach School’s PTAs.  I sponsored a booth and brought some promotional things with me, mingled a bit and took pictures of the kids.  Justin Roberts sings that song “Willy was a Whale”, very cool song.

fish soup, children’s photography by Gillian Crane

Mack and Leo, bff. We cook a lot at the Crane-Henning compound – sometimes it’s chocolate noodle cake or marshmallow lasagna, even roach beef sandwiches. This morning it was fish soup for breakfast.

Note that most of the photos are of Leo, as the photographer’s son wants nothing to do with having his picture taken. Kills me, but i guess it helps me stay more “present” with him. I have a tendency to go nuts taking pictures, I love it so…

Oh so sweet! Those boys were really into the soup. Looks like Leo was wearing the appropriate shirt for making fish soup, any crab added?? Very cute!!! I’m impressed they weren’t covered in flour!!! Great job, Gillian. Love, Roxanne
