Jackie | Fiance























Some pictures of my lovely fiance Jackie. She is my best friend and trusted side kick for just about everything that I do. Pictures were done on Memorial Day. She was dressed up and actually asked if I wanted to take pictures of her! Usually she gets mad because I am snapping off shots when she thinks she looks less than her best.
Eventually we will have some engagement pictures done with both of us. These are for you Jackie. Hopefully they show people how I see you...
No shots of the ring because it is in being re sized, but a big thanks to John Muni for all his hard work on it. We both appreciate it.
Now down to the technical aspects of the shoot. It was around 2 pm, so the sun was high and bright. We found some shade but I actually wanted to try shooting in direct sun because I need some practice with that type of lighting. Normally I wouldn't be caught dead on a paid shoot any other time than two hours before sunset when the light is the best. I used two flashes which I had to hold (very challenging!) but it worked out alright I think. Jackie also was gracious enough to give us TWO glamour/top model shots, one by the concrete tube and the other with our animal talent for the day Mr. Gunner.

Teaser!!! Kate's first Senior photo session






Went out to one of the parks in Amherst to do some shots of Jackie's sister Katie for her senior photos. This is the first of many shoots. Kate plans on having them done during every season, so it should be pretty cool the way it turns out. Lighting was tough but we managed a few good shots. A huge thanks to Jackie who willingly held my lights and reflectors, I could not do a lot of what I do without her!
See the upcoming post for the rest of the shots.
