It has been approximately 6-months since that last time I have done portraiture photography. This past weekend, my cousin convinced me to finally do another session in a dress that we had bought her a few months back. I’ve been wanting to shoot at Glen Arbor Park for a while now, so I decided we will give it a try. Glen Arbor is a awesome place to photograph at, but in our case it turned out to be the wrong location. For the type of dress that she was wearing, we have determined that a more urban style location would have worked a 1000% better. Lesson Learned. Our next session will be more planned out, as this one was a last moment idea. My Aunt and I are already looking at several different locations to do feature sessions at. She assisted, during this session.

Today I decided to try out a new modifier, a 60” convertible umbrella and it is amazing. Now, I wonder why did it take me so long to get one. I always wanted to take a photograph that had rich skies and amazing cloud structures so today ended up being a double whammy for me. I tried to get my cousin to come out and take some photographs, but she refused at first. So I called out my dog and she was such a good sport and posed for me. She was rewarded afterwards with a yummy treat.

I am ready for my close-up!

Ooh, the neighbors dog is barking!

After getting my mess all cleaned up, my cousin decided that she wanted to pose for some photographs. I took all my gear back outside and we decided to try some new things. Although none of us was prepared for a photo session, I think we were able to capture some good results. Posing is not my strongest area so we decided to do some basic poses as well as some random shots.

Who needs shoes, it’s Spring….

Tonya’s thinking…. &…. She Decided she will go hug our tree!

Lets work with that a little bit…Perspective!

Tonya’s favorite thing is to Jam out to music as our final shoot. Since my battery was dying, I put on Airplanes by B.o.B and she started to Jam out. This shot had a sensible feeling to it.
