From December to January, I will be building my portrait portfolio.
"I'm all about candles." That's all Erica had to say and I made it happen. LOVE everything about her portrait. 💓🔥

Okay, one last photo from Myah & Sam's engagement. I could keep sharing these forever because they are fire! 🔥💓 Funny story... one of my high school friends saw us taking these downtown. She didn't realize it was me until I posted their gallery on Facebook! 😂 Small world!

Something I learned early in my career: Understand light & shadow. This is why I'm not a Light & Airy photographer. While that style is beautiful, I simply can't turn my back on shadow. It creates such an amazing mood to portraits. So my tip to photographers is the same. Learn how to play with shadow. You won't regret it. 💓

Before & After! 🔥 These steps were covered with rain spots and dirt from the crazy stretch of rain we've been having. (Can we just have a normal winter... no? Okay.) I normally go for soft light, but wanted to experiment with hard sunlight and not shy away from it. I think we rocked it! 💓 Swipe for the before photo!
A huge thank you to @bellescocktailhouse for letting us up on the rooftop for Myah & Sam's engagement! I'm still obsessing over their photo! 😍😍😍
This is a real couple and a real engagement photo. It sounds so weird that I have to say that! One person asked, "What movie is this?" 🙃 No movie. Just an awesome couple who rocked their engagement! 💓
When I first started photography, I loved all the cute/artsy photos you found on Pinterest. Over time, I started falling in love with portraiture. (Much to my mom's delight. 🤣 She is a purist when it comes to portraits!) A good portrait is more than just a photo of a person. It shows who they are. You get a sense of their life and personality, and how they feel in that moment. Portraits are amazing when done well. Maybe even make people think you're a movie star. 😉😊
Not photoshopped! Done in-camera! How awesome is this double exposure? Would you want a photo like this for your engagement photos? I've gotten soooooooo many compliments and questions about how I did it, so I'll be posting a video next week showing the process.
