Braelynn - Class of 2018

Braelynn is so fun!  We had a great time with her senior session, even if the smoke from the forest fires still lingered in the air.

I have learned a few things from this session that will be good to keep in mind from here on out.  One, don't use the gold reflector that comes in the 5-in-1 kit (why do they even include one?); it make skin tones so much more orange and a chore to remove.  Two, smoky days are NOT for photographing in.  Unlike cloud cover the smoke also contributes to a more orange skin tone.   After trying to remove those colors, these are the images I was able to share with Braelynn and her family.

My son and his girlfriend are seniors in high school this year and I was able to photograph them both for this event.  I'm so grateful for the help of a good friend and classmate, Cory Henderson, and his wife, Candice.  We utilized the beautiful sun we had here in the pacific northwest, along with two strobes.  I didn't really think that strobes were necessary when photographing outdoors, but I am so happy with how these images look.

Thank you for joining me on my journey through photography as I delve into stopping time through photographs and making lasting memories.  I am excited to capture the beauty God has created around us to the best of my ability.  I can't wait to share those with you!
