Last second photo shoot

I think the fall colors are at their peak right now. I wasn't planning on going out for a photo session today, but I received a call and quickly scheduled a photo shoot for a senior who needed her pictures by Friday. We met at Kathryn Albertson's park in Boise. This was my second trip to this particular park, and I am amazed by its beauty. There were many different locations that set up perfect back drops for these portraits. In addition to the already beautiful location, the foliage was absolutely divine. The vibrant reds and striking oranges were at their finest. I am so very thankful that I was able to see the colors AND capture some great senior pictures.

The young lady I took pictures of today was very easy to take pictures of. She was quite natural in front of the camera, which creates the best pictures. Together, we meandered through the park looking for fun locations to pose a picture. Incidentally, my favorite picture ended up being one that we took near purple flowers (as opposed to all the bright, fall colors). Honestly, though, I am hard pressed to pick a favorite from this session.

Fall is here

Another Saturday, another shoot. I enjoy it despite not getting to spend my Saturdays sleeping in. The weather is getting cooler, and it is hard to contend with the crisp air. However, one cannot complain because with the change of seasons comes the change of back drop. The leaves are changing to bright, vibrant colors. I believe this provides one of the prettiest back drops of all. I did another family shoot today, and I have provided a few of my favorite shots.

The above pictures of the little girl was a random snap shot. I find that, sometimes, the non posed pictures turn out the best. There is just a special feel that the picture gives off when I look at it, and I can't quite pinpoint it. Maybe others don't like the abstract look, but I certainly enjoy it.

The picture on the left is another non-posed picture that I randomly snapped. The mom and dad were trying to get the little girl to pep up, and it turned into a precious moment where they were all laughing at each other with the little boy leaning in to give his own hug. Additionally, I turned the picture to a more sepia tone... I feel like the sepia causes the pictures to feel even more fall-esque.

Football

I didn't actually do a photo shoot, per say, but I did take a shot of the varsity senior football players from Nampa Christian school. I haven't taken any other pictures this week so I decided to share this one. One of the mothers quoted her son as saying, "The picture is going to be totally cool." I hope it is totally cool.
