Shalom + Josh | Portraits

Shalom and I have been planning this shoot for a couple weeks now... we had a whole outfit scheme and everything, but in the end, we couldn't find what we wanted so just went with whatever we found. The historic part of Tacoma is soo gorgeous and I've been wanting to shoot there for forever. I got to shoot Kyle's senior pictures there yesterday and today, Shalom, Josh and I drove up again for their couples' shoot. Shalom and I have been friends since 7th grade and her and Josh will have been together for 2 years this coming November! Time flies fast eh? I loved photographing these two and the three of us spent a beautiful afternoon enjoying the weather and scenery Washington had to offer :)

There were so many images from this shoot that I loved, to see a few more, become a fan on my Facebook page!

Shalom / Portraits

My favorite part of being a photographer is photographing, and the reactions of my clients after they see their photos. Retouching is fun, but after awhile, it really does get tiresome. I needed a break today so I got one of my best friends to model for me today. Shalom and I used to live about a 10-15 walk from each other back in middle school and during the summers, we were always at each others' houses. In high school, she moved to a 15 minute drive away. Recently, she just moved back near me. She is now literally a 5 minute walk from my house! Yes!

Anyway, today I wanted to do some experimenting with an off- camera flash and my umbrella. I was going for a summer, breezy kind of look. These were taken right off the road before turning into my neighborhood. I love that road. It was a pretty short shoot (I was getting so hot out there), but I got some incredible images from it. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have a gorgeous friend to model for me :) I am way happy with how they turned out!
