Still haven't gotten photos of the kids this year?

On Saturday, November 7, I’ll be at the park for fall minis. You get 20 minutes, 15 or more edited images, and a private online gallery for $150. There’s no long session to get through and no stiff posing. Let the kids run, let dad swing them around, let them cuddle up to mom, and let me catch it all.

They'll never be this age again.

Limited to 6 sessions. Email [email protected] to claim a time.

Natural light or flash? Can you tell?

Some are straight natural light. Some have flash mixed in to shape the light or fix a problem the sun couldn't. But unlike some of my previous posts, the results don't look highly stylized. And that's the point, right? Knowing how to use the light so that I can make it look natural or stylized based on what I want.

This is the part of the job most people never think about. The light is doing as much work as the moment itself.

The years will go by whether you get the photos or not. Your kids will never be this size again. You see it every day, and you keep meaning to get the photos. Then the season gets busy, and a whole year goes by.

A fall mini is for that. Twenty minutes, $150, and 15 or more edited images of your family exactly as they are right now. No stiff poses, and no stress of worrying about how the kids will act for a whole 90 minute session. Just you, your kids, and a park in fall color. Laugh, play, let them climb all over you. I’ll handle the rest.

Saturday, November 7. Limited to 6 sessions. Email [email protected] to claim a time. If it sounds good, we can get you scheduled.

Natalie and V’Randre picked a pretty day and a pretty barn, and the rest took care of itself.

Pampas grass in old dairy crates. A flower girl who was as cute as could be. And a groom who needed a minute before she got to him.

A wedding goes by faster than anyone plans for. The photos are how you get to walk back in.

Congratulations, Natalie and V’Randre.

Neither of these happens without off-camera flash. Without a flash to light the couple, they'd have gone dark when trying to preserve the sky, or the sky would've blown out trying to expose for them. Same story downtown: the flash lets me light my couple and keep them the subject while preserving the sunset colors and the nighttime vibes.

A natural light photographer waits for the light to be right and works within it. I'd rather bring my own and make the light right, wherever we are and whatever time it is.

Sometimes the best photo isn't the couple's faces, it's their shape. These two came from stripping everything back to just light and outline. Sometimes it's using what you have with window light a reflection. Other times it's creating what you need to fit the environment with flash and even colored gels.

But the results can be magnificent. No expressions to read, no details to point out. Just two people, and the moment between them.

Rain isn't the enemy on a wedding day. Some of my favorite images have come through couples willing to step out into it anyway. Whether that's an umbrella and string lights or creating a backdrop with a colored gel on my light, the rain itself becomes part of the shot. I backlight with off-camera flash to freeze each droplet and light it up in midair, so what most see as an event that ruins the day turns into something magical and intentional.

These three are proof the weather doesn't ruin the photos. Sometimes it makes them.
