The nitty gritty details!

I have had a few requests for more detailed views of my shoots. So I decided to try Flickr so if anyone else would like to see more of these shoots check out my fickr site....

Now you can see pretty much every picture I give my clients.

Rain Rain we love the Rain

These two were real troopers. Ashley and I had an idea hot n steamy in the rain. We had a few inspiration pictures and I went fishing in my pool of brides and grooms. We were able to catch Jen and Seth. These two were amazing I still can't believe they agreed. Jen even came with a bottle of water for her hair. It was a pretty warm rain thankfully but Jen is a tiny thing and by the end she was shivering but she had a smile the whole time! I didn't quite catch the huge drops of rain all around them but I think we still had some pretty steamy shots. What do you guys think anyone else up for it?

DNB a few more

We found another site and did some change ups to get a few more engagement pictures. It added a little variety to their choices and I thought you guys would like a little peek. I love the color's they chose to wear it really added a wow factor to their portraits and I couldn't bear to do any in chocolate because well you have eyes. I love the spring feeling you get with the bright colors. Thanks again Danny and Beth you make my job truly amazing!

You have to stop and smell the flowers.

Pose Practise 1

Finding the perfect pose, lighting, setting is not an easy thing so Ashley and I on our weekends (or nights) off are trying out a few different things to see what we can do what we like what we don't. So for the following slideshow we had a soon to be bride who wants this particular location as a bridal shot so I had to check it out and Ashley, being the doll she is, agreed to pose at night in the cold at a bar in a formal gown. What a trooper! I am still trying to get it exactly where I want them but here is my start. In a few weeks when we do my lovely bride I'll show you perfection! Now here is the opinion I need from you guys color or not. Ash loves the chocolate but I think the color adds to the city feel what do you guys think? Oh, let me thank the Boylen Bridge Brewpub for letting me take over the terrace to shoot these pic's! Great staff they were so accomodating and really helped this photographer get some great pic's! Here is their link

Posing Ideas

The weather was amazing the lighting was perfect and Ashley and I couldn't pass it up so we called in a friend and went to work on some new poses we found. Oh my Goodness! I could barely collect favorites. So here is a long slide show and don't be surprised if there is more (I have only had an hour to work on them). Thanks Miss Hillary for helping us out!
