Tag Archives: Tips + Tutorials It’s that time of year again…time for family photos! As a photographer, it’s one of my favorite times because I get to reconnect with “my families” and see how much everyone has changed in the last twelve months. But I also know that just the thought of a family photo can make most parents breakout […]  This mother-daughter moment was snapped during Alina’s senior session. First of all, can I start by saying how stunning they both are! It’s plain to see where Alina gets her gorgeous looks- from her momma Nicole for sure! But back to the photo, what I love about it is that it’s just not a good […]

Gorgeous! And I always love your ‘behind the scenes’ posts . . . especially informative for the likes of me, who just snaps around willy nilly. :)

first, they are both gorgeous! second, nice work with the posing – you can really see the difference. I always try to have people touch at at least 2, if not three places (ie you have their head and both hands) but the added direction of putting her leg down makes the shot so much more relaxed and natural. And, did you notice Alina’s shoulder? It looks so much more relaxed after you gave them some direction. nice job! I love your posts when you walk us through your thinking :)

They are both gorgeous. I love that you got them so connected with that one suggestion. Beautiful.  First looks are all the rage in the world of wedding photography. It’s when the bride and groom catch a glimpse of each other before the wedding ceremony. Not only is it a great opportunity to capture the emotions of seeing each other for the first time without the pressure of a room full of […]

I love this “first look” idea! I’ve seen this done before, but I’ve never heard that term. Some of my older family members are appalled by the idea of breaking tradition and having the groom see the bride prior to the ceremony. I think it’s so much better to take the photos before your makeup is cried out and without the pressure of having to rush back to a reception. When you plan a beautiful wedding in a beautiful location and spend big $$$ on photography you should be relaxed enough to get the photos you want. I remember feeling rushed at my wedding and not getting the photos I wanted with the people I wanted as a result. Great post!

What awesome backdrops!

I love all these photos so much. Its amazing how different and unique the chimney rock pictures came out through the camera’s perspective versus seeing the whole thing in real life. (With the 2 rocks walls it made the photos so intimate.) Great job.

These photos are so great! And the concept is interesting. There’s a lot of fun and tradition with waiting for the bride to walk down the aisle before the groom sees her, but this can be so wonderful too. Not only is it efficient, but it creates a beautiful private moment for the bride & groom to share <3

Awww that first photo is so sweet! I’m so glad we opted to do a First Look shoot too – seeing Hubs before the ceremony definitely helped calm my nerves :-) |
