To start off our weekly “session posts”, I have selected the lovely Emma. Like I said back in her teaser, she is a young photographer–obviously graduating from high school this year. She is very talented–so talented, in fact, that we might have her help us out occasionally : ) Sometimes we need a third shooter or an assistant. We look forward to having her help us out!
I found it quite hard to narrow her session post down to a reasonable number of images. We just had so much fun. She knew exactly how to “pose” and completely understood our crazy shooting ideas/locations. It was wonderful.
Of course it was hard for me to pick a favorite, but I do believe this is the one. I love so many, but this one… : ) Perfection to me.
That being said, I have a new idea/suggestion… well, more of a demand, really. With all of these daily posts, I would love to hear your favorite/s from each one. I am extremely interested in the style of photos that really stand out to our followers. So…. if you could quickly take a second and leave a comment with your favorite photo each time I do a photo post… that would be just fantastic!
Emma and I talked a little beforehand about different ideas we might want to try, and I brought up balloons. We had never used balloons up until then–so here are our first shots with the new “prop” idea…
Let me tell you, those things got twisted, tangled…. one popped, one blew away… strings fell off. Needless to say, balloons are something we won’t be using too often : )
So all of those photos, aside from the first (my favorite), were taken from the first day of shooting. We did two days; one day of fields, barns, rural stuff and one day of downtown, buildings, etc. Sometimes we are able to hit all of these locations in one day… but we wanted “golden hour”, plus she had school and it was getting dark quickly. So, we decided to go for the two day shoot. I’m glad we did. We got such a great variety. The next set is from the second day:
I do believe that was the longest post in the history of our blog. I hope you enjoyed it : ) Now it’s time for me to get back to editing and working on our upcoming events. January is a super busy month… and here we thought it was going to slow down after December! I’m looking forward to hearing everyone’s favorite/s ; ) ; )
