How did you feel about the engagement session after it was all over?It was easier than we had anticipated. Frances' directions were very helpful and made the session fun.
This couple trusted me every step of the way with the locations and the light. We walked around for a couple of hours and just stopped to take photos whenever I saw a great image.
We stopped on sidewalks, on steps, in front of beautiful homes, on the street with weeds, alleys, gardens and stone walkways.
Here they are just sitting on a cement retaining wall amongst the rose bushes. Using my 70-200mm I'm able to compress the background for a beautiful portrait.
Inside an office building we work quickly and quietly....get the shots and get out. Sometimes you have to venture inside to see what the light is doing when we came across these cement walls and blown glass balls.
Using that same wall with harsh contrasting light and I just put them in the sun for this shot.
This can be anywhere. All I need is a dark background and a tree to create images like these.
