Super cute couple! Oh my goodness they had a lot of energy – which was incredible since they drove from Washington State the day of their session. WOW. Craziness. Anyway, this couple was the winner of my engagement session giveaway and they were a pleasure to work with!
Oh my! I love these too so much. Their excitement, energy, and love for each other was so apparent all day long. It was a beautiful, sunny, spring day and we just had a blast!
A few weeks ago, I went out with the awesome Jami and we did some senior photos for some of her clients. We had WAY too much fun. 🙂
Off camera flash is also very useful outdoors. When you are in non-ideal lighting situations (i.e. your client can only schedule the photo shoot at noon), you want a nice sunset photo, or anytime you don’t want to blow out your background to properly expose your subject. Same deal as with indoors – you can control your ambient light when you have a secondary light source to get your subject looking oh-so-pretty. One of the most common problems with OCF outdoors – is that at noon on a cloudless day, the sun is VERY bright. You’ll have a hard time fighting & beating the sun with just your little speedlight. So, what do you do? You add in another speedlight (or two) or you bump up your power by bringing out a studio strobe (like this one) powered by a battery pack. It just depends on how portable you want to be. For a fun little practice session, I gathered a group of friends from Twitter and we met out at Utah Lake to practice some sunset photos. My awesome intern came through again with models and we had a great time! Even got some light painting in at the end which I had never done before and was super fun!
As you can tell from this out-take, it was pretty chilly. 🙂 This is also what a natural light photo in the same location looks like. Pretty big difference.
And light painting.. WAY fun. You need a tripod, long shutter speed, a speedlight to flash the subject, and a flashlight to write with.
I can’t believe these two are married now!! Shooting their wedding was SO much fun – but for now I get share her bridal session. Enjoy! I love being a mother. My children have brought my both my greatest joys & my deepest sorrows – and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Thinking back to my experience on Mother’s Day last year, I have a renewed sense of gratitude for my Heavenly Father, His protection of me & my family, and His love for his children. I’m so grateful to be alive, healthy, have 3 beautiful children, and an amazing, supportive,and totally hot husband. 🙂 Today we also get to celebrate Cara’s birthday! I can’t believe how fast she is growing up and how much FUN she is. I love her little personality, her smiles, her radiant happiness, her 5 teeth, and how she LOVES to play peek-a-boo when we put her down to bed. I’m waiting until our vacation is over to do her cake smash session so those photos will be coming in the next week and a 1/2, but here’s a few of my kids from last Fall that I don’t believe I ever shared. Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful women who want, are, and someday will be mothers!
I really just can’t get enough of her! I know you’ve seen the slideshow. Too much? Are you done with these? Because I think she’s gorgeous. |
