I still stand by my blog’s original name, but I am expanding my photo horizons. I am slowly gaining confidence with what settings to use, how to compose an image, and paying more and more attention to light.
An old friend asked if I would photograph her engagement photos–I didn’t hesitate to say yes (after warning the happy couple that the end result could be iffy, considering I’d never done this before). So ready with a few {prime} locations and my {prime} 50mm f1.8, we set off to capture the contagious love of Jennie & David.
how could you not have fun with such blissfully happy subjects?
I would totally do it again.
Gorgeous shots! And I love the title of your post, hehe. :)
haha, thanks. photographers can be funny too :)
Amazing job for a first time…
You were awesome and you know it! Thanks miss Linds :)
no problem Jennie-can’t wait for the wedding!
Golly, the second one is just especially “blissful”…the black and white adds a really serious urban/vintage photo art look, but it all contrasts so ironically with their brilliant smiles. Smashing work. :)
love the detail of your comment! thanks for taking the time to write it! :)
Linds! These are beautiful!!
Thanks Alex! It really was fun…
OMG! GREAT pictures of…(gasp)..people! And months of fabulous pictures below that I have missed! You are becoming badass photographer!
wow, have I missed YOU lightbox! Great to see you back on the wordpress circuit, even if it’s minus a few vertebrae :)
After seeing the first few images on your home page, I knew I had to “follow” you! Beautiful work! :)
Thanks Miguel! Same goes for you. I reserve that “Follow” button for particularly inspiring work. Can’t wait to see more!
Those are some great shots! I especially like them on the bench with the tree in the foreground. I have trouble with taking “blog worthy” pictures of people. Just shooting away, that’s fine…but when I want it to be “good”, it just doesn’t seem to work.
Yes you are!
You may know them, but these photographs are great! Personal portraits that definitely capture the essence of the people!
Amazing photos. I love how they never look like they’re posing, they look happy. Love the first one and the one on the bench. Keep taking photos of people!
Thank you Cecile! I WILL keep trying to take photos of people…
Glad you did! You sure have a talent for photographing people!
you’re too kind Sil!
