Engagement pictures with radiopopper

Well this is my first engagement post this year. Yesterday, I had a chance to use one of my new toys, a radiopopper. I love outdoor engagement pictures, but sometimes the light conditions just plan stinks or I wish I could improve it. The radiopopper has expanded my tools of outdoor light control. Okay, that all about my toy. Let's get to the couple and the engagement pictures.

We started out in my backyard, then moved on to some train tracks. I like engagement pictures for a number of reasons: we both get to know one another, they get to see my style before the wedding, plus we have the time to go over some posing and talk about the flow of the wedding.

I had a lot of fun this couple. As with most it took a few minutes for everyone to loosen-up a bit.

I'm just getting over Christmas and working on the storybook from my December wedding. What a nice day that was, and what a fun time.

I'm trying something new and posting the progress of the storybook on this blog. I don't seem to get many comments; maybe this will help.

Let me tell you about my books. I don't use templates because I don't want to do the same old thing. Yet I will say that I have some layouts that are requested a lot. My main goal is to tell a story. Here is the first part if their story, with more to come later.

December Wedding

Just finished a wedding last night. It was almost 50 degrees yesterday, and now it's 8. Welcome to Nebraska.

I'll post some more images later. What a wonderful couple and I had FUN the whole time. I knew I loved this work for a reason.

Bridals

I love this job. Had a GREAT time today in my studio with a bride and her Mother. She was married about three weeks ago, and this was the first time I did bridal after the wedding.

Engagement photos

Engagement photos are something that I view them as a pre-wedding session. The benefits are huge to the wedding pictures. With this couple, it was so nice just to spend some time with them. I know this was the first time that we spent time taking pictures together, but I felt like we were old friends. With each wedding I photograph, I can't help but feel that glow that young couples share as they start their new lives together. I view this time with the couples as my own wedding refresher course. I can tell these two are the best of friends. Is this a great job or what?

High school senior part II

Here's an update from my first High school senior. With the weather finally turning nice, even if it's just for a day or two, it was a chance to do some outdoor senior pictures. From time to time we did have to wait while the sun would pop in and out. She is a lovely young lady, who is at ease in front of the camera. These were all taken outside within 100 yards of my studio.
