Cory and Kelly's Engagement Portraits

Cory and Kelly are a really fun couple whose wedding we are shooting very soon. We recently met up to shoot their engagement portrait session. Even though Cory had just had his wisdom teeth removed the day before (yikes!) and couldn't smile as much as he wanted, he soldiered through the pain and he and Kelly met us at Highland Park for their shoot. Here are some of my favorites from the day:

We started off at the Poet's Garden:











We then headed over to the Sunken Gardens:












We had a lot of fun (even Cory!) and got some great pictures of them in between laughing our heads off. Stay tuned, as later we will be blogging about Cory and Kelly's wedding as well as their Trash the Dress session!

Angela's Senior Portraits (part 1)

This weekend we shot Angela's first senior portrait session. We had a blast! Angela loves nature and the outdoors, so we were able to have a lot of fun with our locations.

Angela really wanted to shoot at a barn, so that is where we started:









There was a corn field near our barn, so we stopped there on our way to our next location:



I loved the vintage feel in this photo, so I worked on the colors in the photo to better reflect the mood I was going for:



Then it was off to the banks of a canal:





We left the canal and went to the Flower Conservatory:







This photo is even nicer with a sepia tone:



We then went to the Poet's Garden:





The arch complimented Angela's features very well, so I used a select color treatment to emphasize her pretty blue eyes:



We found a big tree in the garden, and Angela climbed right up it! It made for some great shots:





This shot was perfect for showing off Angela's very unique, very cool class ring:



We finished off the day at the Sunken Gardens:








It was a very successful and productive day, and for once the weather was on our side! We can't wait to shoot with Angela again at the end of August!

PHOTO FLASHBACK: sunken garden senior portraits

Lately we have been booking a lot of senior portraits for the late summer and early autumn. As I've said before, senior portrait season is one of my favorite times of year. I like that we can really create photos that express a part of our subject's personality.

So for this Photo Flashback I thought it would be fun to go back into the vaults and find some very old senior portraits.

These senior portraits were shot in the Sunken Gardens on Mt. Hope, with effects added to enhance the feel we wanted for the photos:






Our next Photo Flashback will be in August. Is there something specific you'd like to see? Let us know!
