Melissa & Mark

This engagement session was particularly special because of the subjects: Melissa has been my BFF since I was 7 years old. We've pretty much seen one another through everything, and you can imagine how thrilled I am to see her engaged to a great guy such as Mark.

Melissa and Mark are the kind of people who are naturals at having their photo taken. They simply fell into natural poses and most of the time didn't seem aware that I was even there ;). I had so much fun doing their engagement photos, and had a really hard time picking out my favorites!

You'll also note that I did something a little different with the post-processing...

Kelli & Joe's Engagement Session

Kelli's family is close with my family. Her sister, Melissa, is my best friend. My grew up a block away from one another, and I've known her family for 20 years! So, it was exciting to be asked to do Kelli's engagement photos. I've never done an engagement session, at least on my own and not when working at the Picture People.

We hoped to take photos outside, however it was rainy and dreary so the photos were taken at Kelli's parents' house instead. The lighting, as usual, was tricky. I used my flash on some and natural light on others. Both have their positives.
