Angie's Maternity Shoot
Angie decided she wanted to go to Deception Pass in Oak Harbor. So I thought, why not bring the family with. The kids had fun on the beach while I was shooting away...
The lens I used for the shoot was my 135mm f2.0 and 16-35mm f2.8. I also used 1 flash with a shoot through umbrella.
Enjoy!
A stroll in the neighborhood
Every free time that I get, I spend them with my kids. They love taking a walk around the neighborhood and play in the playground. Of course when I do take them places, I never leave home without my camera. I love seeing the joys on their face over the simply things in life that we adults take for granted.
On this day, the sun was piercing through the clouds which provided a nice soft light. The lighting was perfect as the sun wasn't blazing through the blue sky without no clouds...The clouds was like a large softbox or umbrella. Without no clouds, you get hard light.
The lens I chose for this stroll was my canon 135mm f2.0. I chose this lens because of reach and depth of field it creates when shooting at a certain distance. The light was just perfect for me to walk around with just my camera and lens. You dont' always need an external flash..even though I use it most of the time.
Enjoy!
Chris + Beza
It was a pleasure to be able to spend an evening with Chris and Beza for their engagement shoot. Chris was funny and just happy with life. Both were excited that I chose Carkeek Park because this was where they had their first date. And of course, the whole time I was shooting, Beza was laughing and giggling. I couldn’t ask for better weather while in the park and on the beach.
The following shots, I used 1 flash and an umbrella as a diffuser. The lens I used for the shots were my 85mm 1.2 ii and my 16-35mm 2.8.
Enjoy!
Michelle's Maternity Shoot - Gas Works Park
Today, I spent a little time with Michelle and Sophana at Gas Works Park. The couple came all the way up from Portland Oregon for the shoot. You really can’t ask for a better weather than today, considering we live in rain city Seattle. Anyhow, Gas Works was packed full of people along with other photographers. Trying to find a spot where there's no people around was tough, but we managed to do it.
Now Michelle and Sophana are waiting patiently for little Nathan to join us and June is just around the corner.
Today I used various lens for different shots. Because of the positioning of the sun I had to use 2 bare flash (Canons 580 exii) to overpower the sun. I shot the following photos with a 50mm 1.2, 135mm 2.0 and 85mm 1.2…all in all I think it was a success.
Enjoy!
