The other day I did some senior portraits with Raquel & Casey. I snapped away at some family photos during the session as well, but Raquel and Casey were the stars of the session.
The day started off a little breezy with hair flying all over the place, so it seemed that there was a little tension at first (As there is with any photo session, but once the clicks start going, the jokes start flying, and people start having the rest is a piece of cake). In the end I really thought the breeze helped us knock out some more natural looks allowing the hair to sway and do its thing.
Between the tree climbing, bird catching, and balancing on the pillars it was a fun and exciting session. I hope you guys (Raquel & Casey had a good time as well and enjoy your photos).
For everyone else, take a look at some of the pictures below that aren't featured in the portfolio section.
Surprisingly I even managed to get in on a picture as well! Thats actually rare for me to have pictures of myself considering that im behind the camera most times. (I'm in the middle in the first black and white shot below.)
Today was another photo shoot day. I had the pleasure of intermixing a few sessions from a family portrait session and a friends portrait session at the botanical garden. I tried to stand back and not dictate the shoot so much since I had a few friends there that wanted to do their own creative poses. Sometimes its just best to go back and use the long zoom lens :) I think the photos came out remarkable for the way the light hit people. Sometimes it was just to strong and I probably should have used some more fill-flash, but we managed. I really appreciate Julie and Orsolya helping me out with the 2nd camera. I even got in on some pictures, but when I get in front of the camera, I'm lost on what to do AGH! I guess I will just have to continue taking them instead.
Thanks everyone for showing up!
Here are some sample shots from the shoot. Browse the portfolio section to see more.
BABY Portraits ! Yeah this was fun. All I did was roll around the floor, crawl, and play with Cia and at the same time take some photos of him. He is so remarkably photogenic. I don't think there was one bad grin on his face during the session. Every second he was smiling, running, crawling, clapping, and so forth. I took some amazing photos during this session. I did mostly black and white conversions to give it that unique authentic look. I just think it makes baby portraits stand out so much more. Thanks Rachel, Cia, and Annalies.
