We were a bit nervous to wake to a very wet wedding day. As it turned out, we did get a little damp, but the rain made for some gorgeous colors and we were able to shoot anywhere on the temple grounds without any harsh sunlight. I love this couple and they became so comfortable with me that we worked great together.
I had the opportunity to photograph the very first couple to be married at the Twin Falls LDS temple. It was a very windy day but the pictures turned out great. This couple is very natural in front of the camera, I love photographing them.
I am so behind, I’ve taken a big old blog break. So I’m going to try to catch up. I can’t tell you how much I loved this bridal session. I’ve been waiting to post it because she wanted to make sure her fiance didn’t get a peek at her dress. She was so much fun and very open to anything. My only challenge was getting her not to smile every now and then, which really isn’t much of a problem. My very favorites are the rusty truck pictures.
So Dan is a die-hard Big Red fan. Big surprise seeing as he was Nebraska born and bred. They don’t take these things lightly there, but in their defense they are known for their coutesy to visiting teams as well. Football season makes us a bit homesick. Mostly because I’d rather he was watching the game at his mom’s while I go shopping (heh, heh). Sadly my attention span for the game lasts only a few minutes most of the time. But I like the parties and all the excitement and neighborly bonding that goes along with it, and now we display the N proudly to show our loyalty and the little piece of our hearts that resides in Lincoln, Nebraska. Okay, speech over, here’s the N that my husband spray paints in the yard every year. I thought about denying him this year since the house is up for sale but I couldn’t crush his spirits. And actually it always starts up some conversation with neighbors we didn’t know and hidden Husker fans nearby.
I’m trying something new this year. Since fall sessions are so popular I will be offering two days of mini-sessions The first will be Sat. Sept. 27th and the second will be sometime in October. The session fee for these will be $20 (for up to 7 people). The disc will be available with a $250 portrait purchase. The sessions will be 20 minutes each so the number of proofs will of course be less. Right now I am thinking of doing them at Shoshone Falls since it works well with families, but I’m still thinking through the details. Spread the word and remember that if you send a friend you will receive a free 8×10 from your session. Also, there will be a limited number of mini-sessions, so call as soon as possible.
I finally had a turn behind the camera, and I now understand how my clients feel. Hopefully it will give me new sensitivity to the plight of the mother wrestling several children while trying to maintain a serene expression. I asked my dad (who is a great photographer) to take some family pictures of us. They turned out to be more than I had envisioned. The truck was my grandpa’s, and that shot was just what I had in mind. The other shots were taken in the home where my grandmother and her siblings lived with her grandmother. My dad told Grant he wanted to tell him a story of a little boy who lived in that house and his name was Grant (my Grandma’s brother). So these have great sentimental value as well. I can wait to hang them up BIG in my house! Thanks dad.
Here are a few pictures of a beautiful bride-to-be. I loved the teal accents- especially the shoes!
