Majer’s Christmas Dinner started the Majer’s Moments Series. The project is about capturing short moments and the music of daily life. I’ll be a spy, recording special events, city trips, and everyday experiences for the Majers. They invited me to their friends and family Christmas dinner to start the project. The house filled with delicious food, laughter, and smiles—the best present anyone could ask for.
The Value of Capturing Precious Moments
The Majer’s Moments Series is more than just a collection of photos. It shows the essence of life’s short moments. Whether it’s a family gathering, a city trip, or a quiet day at home, each moment is important. Additionally, every experience helps tell the story of their lives. Capturing these moments allows the Majer family to relive the joy, love, and connection that define their everyday lives. These pictures will be a reminder of their love forever. They will create a visual story they can remember for years.
Gear Used for the Session
To capture the warmth and joy of the Majer’s Christmas dinner, I used:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark III: A full-frame camera that delivers exceptional image quality, ideal for documenting the details of this special occasion.
- EF 35mm f/1.4L USM: A prime lens that captures sharp, detailed images with beautiful background blur, perfect for intimate settings.
This gear let me capture the lively atmosphere of the Majer’s Christmas dinner. It kept every smile, laugh, and special moment in amazing detail.
A Shep.
“These are moments we would otherwise only hold onto in our memories and, we think, will be our most cherished photos.”
With the arrival of our second child and many friends and close relatives scattered across the country, we felt it was time to get serious about capturing and sharing this moment in our growing family’s life. We had long resisted hiring a professional, tired of seeing the same old photos and skeptical of anyone’s ability to truly capture this exciting and fleeting time. We chose Jiho because of his extraordinary ability to be friendly enough to make you entirely comfortable with his presence while also somehow constantly recording what often turn out to be striking, well-composed, high-quality images.
Because we wanted authenticity, we invited Jiho to hang out with us in our home, in our neighborhood, and in our city. He gently urged us to let him photograph our morning routine, pajamas and all, and beautifully captured the ordinary and mundane. These are moments we would otherwise only hold onto in our memories and, we think, will be our most cherished photos. We hope we will have many more opportunities to work with Jiho in this lifetime.
