What to say about this one? Jenny and Chad are dear friends from college that always bring a good time wherever they go. Jenny's a fellow photog and wanted to make sure that this wasn't simply a shoot but something that was really just a fun experience for all of us. She and Chad put together a little weekend getaway that included roadtripping to her family's lake house in Chad's wonderful 4runner with the top off and the breeze in our hair. We took the opportunity to make little stops throughout the trip to shoot here and there...basically wherever we felt inspired. Our first stop was literally a random pull-off that ended up being magical...no it really was. The trees, the creek that ran beside it, the shenanigans we had there. Unrecreatable, but I so wish it was...like every weekend of the summer would be nice. After we made it to the lake, we spiffied up a bit and went out to dinner in historic Jamestown. We made it just in time to catch the sun set and share some delicious grub with a cold brew together.
Watch out in the next couple days for part two...sunrise breakfast on the lake, some fishing fun, and más :)

I love my photoshop even though i am a work in progress. i would like to take a photography class also when i have time. i am at the JC willow, interesting to be with all 18-25 years old and i am the only older one at 58. Don't think i look 58, but who knows what they think. since my kids think iam old. they say do not put my pictures of us up on your screen we probably know alot of people in your class.lol
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing you this weekend! love, Auntie ALice
Totally download your pictures and saving them. Larry is not into this new way photography especially when the face in not in the picture. He totally doesn't get that lol
ReplyDeletelove these shot!!
ReplyDeletewhat kind of camera do you use??
Magical places are hard to come by in life - go there often and commune with our great God when you remember He made that place just for you! The eye of the camera cannot capture it - but your eye will always remember it - thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteWe love this couple!
Aww Shan Shan, these are so beautiful! And it makes me really happy that you had so much fun while doing it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the love all :)
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous - I used a Canon 5d Mark II for this shoot and mostly a between the 50 1.4 and 35 1.4 for lenses.
Your work inspires me to no end
ReplyDeleteThese shots are so gorgeous. I can feel the emotion between them. I'm a new reader and I can't wait to look at more of your work!
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning. I love how intimate and sensual these feel. What a great opportunity to work with such willing (&gorgeous) subjects.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ~ full of life, love and laughter ~ Can't wait for the big day!
ReplyDeleteYou photos are such an inspiration and I am hoping to become just as great as you are! Besides your Canon 5d, do you use any special lighting effects to bring the pictures to life and/or do any post-processing?
ReplyDeleteHi Kathee!
DeleteThanks so much...you're beyond kind : ) I definitely work in post-processing to romanticize things a bit..just slightly shifting hues of certain colors to make it more to my liking. I typically try and do couples portraits at sunrise or sunset during the "golden hour"...but other than that not really any lighting tips. I shoot natural light until it's too dark too...hope that helps!
