Bridal/Groomals






Again, I couldn't resist getting the lights out again. This time we used a car battery instead of a generator. Much easier to move around. The timing and weather were perfect, not to mention a great couple to work with, that always helps.

More Engagements






Here is what happens when the sun doesn't go down as soon as you expected. The ideal time for shooting on location is one hour before sunset. Here is something I figured out to work pretty well: soot with the sun at their back and expose for their faces while ignoring the fringe highlights that may blow out on their hair and the sky. This is going against my perfectionistic need to have detail every pixel in the frame. Sometimes we just have to step out.

Senior Pictures






Here are some senior pictures I did a little while ago. I really pulled out the stops and went all out with the whole shoot. I needed a few assistants on this job but it was well worth it. I had a generator with a full studio light setup on the location. Moving everything around was a bit of a hassle but worth every spot we shot at. My favorite style is mixed lighting at sunset. I was very happy with the results, and needless to say, my client was also very pleased. Thanks for all who made it happen.
