Dan’s Beard Series

Dan and his son, Wally, were growing beards this summer before Wally heads off to college. But Dan is planning to shave his soon. We figured that it could be useful if he had a headshot with the beard, just in case it might come in handy someday.

These two are my faves for showcasing a certain “look” with the beard.

We were thinking of this shoot as sort of a practice session, since Dan doesn’t usually wear a beard. (Note to Julie: next time, move so the sidewalk isn’t a distracting element in the background of this otherwise awesome shot!)

Professor Dan

He doesn’t think so, but he’s really good at posing for still photographs. (Dan is a great actor!)

See what I mean?

Love it!

Dan has such a nice smile.

He was talking to Grex, my “VAL” (voice activated lightstand).

He’s a natural in front of the camera.

Before Dan shaves, we thought it would be fun to get some father/son shots of the competing beards…

Here’s Wally. (I think we woke him up too early.)

So, who do you think won the beard contest?
