About Me Post #11

Here is a little background on me!

Engagement Post #10

Recently one of my best friends got engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid! As her wedding gift I told her I would do her engagement session. I rarely get to do sessions outside of the studio. I was excited about taking their photos because they were adults and would be cooperative. I got to be creative, try new stuff, and practice skills that I don’t often get to use. After buying a new camera, which if I am being honest, I first and foremost bought for their session, and secondly because I was ready for a new one. It was the perfect time to test it out! I used a lot of fun backlight with the sun and different focusing styles to make the session more special. Getting to shoot this really helped me learn F-Stop, ISO, and how to adjust them appropriately. With engagement sessions, and even weddings, it’s all about the love and the cuddly. I wanted to make sure that they could see the love in their session!

Senior Sessions Post #9

Senior are one of my top favorites to photograph! There are many creative things that you can do with older children (well they probably do not prefer that term) that young kids are not able to do as much. Seniors girl are normally the pickiest clients. They have a certain way they want themselves to look and for a lot of them it is probably the only time they will get to do a photo shoot like this. So, trying to capture them in the way they are aiming for is a big part of shooting seniors. Senior sessions are normally pretty fun because posing is a lot more open and they can do more difficult stuff.  I recently photographed my cousin’s senior pictures and that a loud me to be creative in a lot of aspects that I do not get to experience very often when photographing kids. I loved getting to practice on her and try new things and new light in an outside setting. I used a reflector to lighted her while under a covering that was blocking the sun. The reflector created an amazing lighting effect that turn into a gorgeous picture. These pictures are by far my favorite.

Children Post #8

 Children! What other big reason is there to go to a portrait studio? Mamma’s love getting those moments captured as their little ones grow up. Mom’s love to show them off! The term “children” umbrella’s a lot of things. It sometimes means a group of children or just one super energized two-year-old. Groups are the more challenging for the obvious reasons, multiple people in any setting can be tough on its own. When that group consists of all two-year old’s it is a lot harder. Most kids that age do not want to sit down or sit still for that matter. The perfect picture involves a lot of grabbing the kiddos and putting them back in place and tickling and jumping back as fast as you can. Getting that perfect shot can be difficult, but after seeing how it comes out is worth it! Single children are much easier but they have their own set of challenges. They can melt down or flat out not want to do it. Getting those perfect kids though make it all so much fun!
