A change of pace a few more senior portraits. Love the old train, the leading lines, and the dramatic light. Pretty cool senior picture.
Dramatic images are a lot of fun. It is part of the reason we have chosen to be photographers. Not every photographer can create and image like this. Not every photographer wants to create images like this. For me it’s part of the creativity that keeps me excited about image making. The light in this image would never be like this, the photographer has to create it to make this look. A photograph is a blank canvas, add an interesting background, with some leading lines and dramatic sky. Add a pose that is flattering to the subject and tells something about them, then light the image to make it all come together.
Being invited to take some images of a newborn is a great honor. Being invited into our clients most precious moments lets us know we have done a good job for them. It’s so cool to see their families starting or expanding in this case. We even got to take a few with grandma holding Rylan.
Through our photography, Andy & I have had the opportunity to capture important moments in people’s lives and we feel so honored to do so! My parents have lived in the same house since I was eight and I remember when we moved in how welcoming the neighbors were. One family in particular became good friends with our family and almost every day there was conversation across our fence. There were summer bbq’s, quiche on Christmas morning, borrowing kitchen items, weddings and many more days over the decades of laughing together. We have been friends for 25 years and I have lots of fond memories with them.
2 days ago our family attended the funeral of Pat, our neighbor who I knew for 25 years…..
Saying goodbye to people is so hard and it makes me so thankful for the pictures we have to remember them by and celebrate their life.
A few months ago Mike & Pat renewed the wedding vows they had taken many years ago. Because Pat had lost most of her hair due to her treatments they made the celebration a hat party and everyone there had a hat! It was awesome to be a part of their day and watch two people share so much love. Andy & I took many pictures for them that day and in honor of Pat’s life I thought I would share them today.
To the life of a Mother, A sister, A Wife, A Friend, A Neighbor…..
