Carly in the gym.

Part one of Carly's senior session took place in her high school's gym. Being the dedicated athlete that she is, Carly spends most of her time training after school. As tough as she is, there really is a soft side and I aimed to capture both with this session. With winter fast approaching, the second part of her senior shoot will take place in the spring of 2013.

Once again, not having my usual Nikon DSLR and Nikon glass, I was a little apprehensive about using the X-Pro1- especially in such a poorly lit gym. The X-Pro1, however, performed extraordinarily well. I had to adjust my shooting style to make up for the somewhat slower autofocus, but it wasn't a deal breaker. If I wasn't so comfortable with the camera, pulling these shots off would have been way more difficult.

All images taken with the Fuji X-Pro1, Fujinon 18mm f/2 lens, Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 lens and the Fujinon 60mm f/2.4 lens.

Scott and Meghan's Engagement.

An engagement session in Columbus, Michigan shot entirely with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the 3 available Fujinon prime lenses.

When my good friend Meghan asked me to photograph her engagement session, I was a little hesitant at first because I hadn't used the X-Pro1 for anything more than fun shots of the family. Before the X-Pro1, I used a Nikon D700 with awesome Nikon glass like the 85mm f/1.4G, 24-70mm f/2.8G and the 70-200mm f/2.8G.  I was coming from an amazing system but ultimately made the switch to Fuji after seeing their dedication to mirrorless cameras; the future of digital photography.

I couldn't be happier with the way the X-Pro1 performed! It was lightweight, accurate, quick (when it needed to be) and completely unobtrusive to the creative process.  If it wasn't for the available light dwindling on the horizon, I could have stayed out there for another couple hours.  It was serious fun!  After the shoot and seeing the incredible images captured by the X-Pro1, I'm convinced; this is one serious, professional tool.

 Below are the awesome images of my very photogenic friend, Meghan, and her equally photogenic fiancé, Scott.

An autumn hike through Stoney Creek.

Equipped with a Nikon F100, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens and some Kodak Portra 160 film, we began our hike on Osprey Trail.
