Wow, where do I start with this post? Well, I noticed as I was editing this session that my style changed a tad. I am really loving candid photography and the ‘un-posed’ shots. However, there are times where I have to have those posed shots. Case in point- this session. If this were any other couple, or location…I probably wouldn’t have had them pose so seriously/romantically.
I think for some clients it works, and for some it doesn’t. Who says I cant be both a candid and posed portrait photographer? I love to capture emotion and moments, yet I love to capture that look that sometimes you can only get with shots like these. I have been thinking about this for a while, so I wanted to lay it out there just in case you were wondering why I change up my photographic style sometimes.
I took these photos when I was in Utah visiting my pal Jessica, and decided to meet up with this sweet couple. I wanted to do a mock engagement session with a fabulous couple (even though they are already married), and they couldn’t have been better. They were easy to work with, and did exactly what I needed them to. I could definitely tell these two are crazy about each other! After doing this session, I am even more in love with engagements. I have so many great ideas for future engagements…!![]()
One last thing, all the blog templates I used to post these pictures are from my sweet friend and photographer pal Becky Earl. She sells ‘blog your art templates’ and really cool layouts that you can purchase here from her site. She is also currently working on some blogger templates that I am sure will be fabulous as well!
Thanks H & J for your awesomeness! <3






























Leave em’ some blog love!
