The Most Intense Lifestyle Session by Ross Oscar Knight

Friday, May 27, 2011

If you had strawberries and champagne waiting for you in a room on the 64th floor then you'd be running too. Onae' and Fawn have been married for 8 years and there is no short change of passion in this relationship. Twice I had to secretly turn the air conditioner down to cool the atmosphere. WOW!

Happy 8th anniversary Onae' and Fawn. I hope to celebrate #10 with you in Europe 2013.

Fly Like a G6 Atlanta Engagement Session by Ross Oscar Knight

Thursday, May 26, 2011

I've been shooting like a mad man every day for two weeks straight and I'm still going. Sometimes two shoots a day. This week I photographed David and Shaundra on the tarmac and adjacent field of Brown Airport.

I didn't need vitamins for this session because I fed off of David and Shaundra's energy. I am well acquainted with this couple since Shaundra planned one of the fist weddings I photographed. I've also followed David through his different business ventures and he now has his own radio show. I believe that David could negotiate his way into and out of any situation imaginable! He's lucky to have landed the heart of Shaundra because she's one of the sweetest individuals I've ever met. I'm honored to be shooting their wedding next month.

Check out the images below!

Seeing Not Only Hearing is Believing: A New Brunswick Wedding by Ross Oscar Knight

Monday, May 16, 2011

Between the rehearsal dinner and the reception I heard so many compliments given to this couple that if I hadn't seen them in person I wouldn't believe they even existed. I recall one probable story about the couple racing to take off a shirt (figuratively) first and give it to a friend in need. After this weekend I am certain that Norman and Reisha are two people we could all benefit from being in our lives. They are living examples of compassion and service. More images to come, including a master plan by TEAM Reisha at "The Running of the Brides."

Family Time w/ the KNIGHT Sisters and Nephew

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

Mother's Day was really special this year since Brandi and I got to spend time with my sisters and nephew. We had brunch and then I took the little one walking through Decatur and explaining the cityscape. I had this bright idea to get him frozen yogurt from The Yogurt Tap and the rest was history!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Sunday, May 8, 2011

I have my dad's hands and my mother's fingernails. Funny how genetics work. My mom is the first woman I ever loved. Isn't she beautiful? God chose her to carry me for 9 months and to give me life. I am forever grateful for her sacrifices. Last year I had the opportunity to shoot my first ever headshot of her. Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers across the globe!

DIY Scrim by Ross Oscar Knight: Episode #1 Complete

Saturday, May 7, 2011

We had great results with our DIY scrim. Basically Yvonne and I built it with pvc pipe, a shower curtain, and velcro. After the first field test we decided to forgo the velcro and actually sew a loop for the shower curtain to fit snug on the pvc. I'll admit that the interns holding the scrim during the shoot almost took flight. The wind was strong and the curtain turned into a sail.

A Proposal Story on Lake St. Clair by Ross Oscar Knight

Wednesday, May 4, 2011


Terrell's inquiry email arrived in my inbox October 30, 2010: "I am going to propose to my soul mate and would like to have you shoot this moment. She and I have discussed taking professional pictures together and I would like to take advantage of the moment to ask for her hand/heart/soul..."

As soon as I read the words "soul mate" I was all in for helping with the plan. Even if the proposal was going to be on my birthday weekend. 8-)

The story of Terrell and Jenese's relationship began in cyberspace while they were living in Detroit and Chicago, respectively. After web chatting for a season, the late night phone calls and all-day texts just weren't enough to satisfy the insatiable thirst these two had to be near one another. Acting on impulse, Terrell decided to drive (unannounced) to Chicago to show his commitment and desire to be closer to Jenese. Luckily, Jenese agreed to meet him at a neutral location and that's when Terrell turned on the charm. The emotional and physical attraction was confirmed as they talked face-to-face over a meal. Neither wanted the night to end. Fast forward through many dates/celebrations in multiple cities and it became obvious what needed to happen next to solidify this bond. Jenese made the move to Michigan and the healthy dose of support caused Terrell to enact his plan towards marital bliss.

The master plan for the proposal began at the Henry Ford Museum. As soon as my plane touched down Sunday morning I drove straight to the museum to begin scoping the scene. Around 3 PM I met the couple in the lobby. Since Jenese thought that I was there to do couple portraits for she and Terrell I asked for her input on the best locations to shoot. I winked at Terrell and we let our secret mission continue to evolve. We all walked through a number of the exhibits (most notably the Rosa Parks bus) and then went back to Terrell's condo so they could change clothes. Next we drove to the Edsel and Elanor Ford House that was close to closing for the day. No worries since Terrell and I knew that the grounds would be less populated at this time. We even thought about the angle of the sun and we had a rain plan. It took an hour or so to visit the different areas of the historic site and then we stopped at a willow tree adjacent to Lake St. Clair. Just 10 minutes earlier I had passed Terrell the ring box from my bag during a carefully orchestrated exchange. I then said my goodbyes and left the two of them talking at the tree. Unbeknownst to Jenese, I wrapped around the building and lay stealth until Terrell was ready to get down on bended knee.

Congratulations to you, Terrell and Jenese! I have the best job in the world to witness so much pure joy from my clients. I was happy to be a small part of your journey that will surely get even better with time.

Here's about 20 out of the 300 pics below! Two more proposals coming to you before the summer is over...stay tuned.
