A few pictures of the senior photo session I took yesterday and today! I don't take pictures of many guy seniors, so it is always a challenge for me!!! Specially if Nate can't come with me! But I enjoyed it and we were able to take a loooot of pictures! I love them all! He was so calm and posed so well! :)

Oh, and the first time I take cap and gown pictures outdoors!!!! :)

Have a blessed day!

Textures is something I have never really been interested in when dealing with post-processing. I must say, I like colorful real images with a little touch of vintage, and I don't like to overdo post-processing. When I saw other photographers edit their images with textures, I loved the results, but it just was not my cup of tea...till I heard about the Florabella textures. Once again, I really wasn't interested in textures! But then I watched a video tutorial where she taught how to apply these textures. I would see a straight out of the camera shot and the after result with just textures and a couple of basic touches (saturation, contrast...). I could not believe what a difference it made! Then we shot a wedding in February where we had a limited time for all the family, bride and groom, and wedding party shots. It was dark, and we couldn't go anywhere due to the lack of time. So we really didn't have many backgrounds to play with, even though the church itself was great! I must say...it wasn't as hard as I thought and we were able to capture some great shots of them together, just being sweet to each other, happy and joyful that they were married, and looking forward to living their lives as a married couple! And honestly, just working with a just married couple makes photography a whole different world! Once I saw them together, the backgrounds didn't matter any more! I realized it wasn't about the backgrounds. I just had to capture their love! And once I found these textures, I decided to play around with them and try to add a little bit more of creativity to the images and make the backgrounds a little but more interesting! I love the results. Maybe a overdid it a little??? Yes, I probably did :) But it's ok! I'm enjoying just playing around with them!

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank this couple, their friends, and their family for all their help taking these pictures! We had a blast! And it was an honor to take them! She is Nate's pastor's daughter! Such a sweet godly family :)

Have a wonderful day!
