Here are some shots from a couple weeks ago. Struggled with the lighting a bit, especially in the field shots, it was so bright and sunny. Still trying to master my off camera flash too, of coarse after I got home and uploaded the photos I noticed some wierd shadows caused by the off camera flash, just something I will keep working at.

    I like number 2 above, and there are quite a few in the full gallery, #95 stood out. I don't have a strong opinion on the intentional tilts, but there are some in here that stand out as crooked, instead of tilted for compositional or artistic purpose. I was definitely drawn to the smiling ones more, I totally know that some people just don't smile, and saying smile behind the camera is cliche, but they are cute and look better in a good mood. With the exception of the one where they look like they got caught kissing and she is looking at him and him to the camera, I like his leave us alone kind of look. MY only suggestion is, if that is the proof gallery I would cull some out widdle it down a lot more. I personally, wouldn't offer the same picture with different processing.

    Hello! Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate the comments. I do tend to shoot crooked as my camera is quite heavy. I try to fix this in processing but I could of missed a few! I do try to have the smiling and serious shots just for variety, but I definitely prefer the smiling ones as well. That morning it was very cold out and we all had a hard time warming up to the photo shoot in general. I know this person fairly well and she is picky so I posted more than I wanted too, but I know she wanted the variety. Thanks again!!!

    Hi!!! Thanks for looking I appreciate the comments. I also really like #6, it is one of my favorite shots!! #3 did have fill flash, it was quite a difficult shot because it was really sunny and the lighting was so harsh, it was hard to find that perfect balance of just enough and not too much flash. Thanks again!
