The Bryars Family

Oh my…has it really been that long since my last blog post? Yup…

I got a chance to photograph the Bryars Family last week on a gorgeous spring/summer day. After the previous weeks tornado I’m a little more grateful for these nice days. Unfortunately one of my favorite shooting spots got hit pretty hard on the riverwalk in Springfield during the tornado, but thankfully Forest park remained unaffected.

Anyway, I got to photograph Emmy last year for her one year B-Day and now that she’s two years old and has a new little brother what a perfect excuse for new family photos!

Summer Flashback

I’m getting pretty sick of not seeing much greenery while we wait for spring to do its thing…so here’s some nice colorful grass and trees (except the black and white obviously). This wedding was done back in the summer of 2010 in Northampton, MA. I’m really really looking forward to those warm days again!

Spring Photos!

Okay…I’ll be honest, not a ton happens in the early Spring photography-wise. With all the snow melting and rain…yuk..who wants to take pictures in the mud? Well, except for a toddler. Here’s Caleb happy as can be stomping in his home turf.

More Weddings!

I’m just posting a bunch of pictures this week. I didn’t feel like narrowing it down to a select 3 or 4, basically cause I really just liked a lot of them. This wedding was so fun, from start to finish…and like the previous wedding, I’m really glad we didn’t get one of those nice blizzards this winter brought. Thanks for having me come along on this one Ben and Esther

Derek and Melissa: Wedding

So I’ve found that doing outside wedding pictures is easier without 3’ of snow on the ground. Thankfully, I shot this wedding a little before all the big storms we had, but it was still freezing being outside…and I wasn’t even the one in the wedding dress! Other than the temp though, the conditions were great for photos!

Busy Busy

I’ve been doing a few different things this past week…One is that I’ve finally finishing color correcting and editing the wedding who’s picture is posted below. I know, I know it’s the same wedding from last week…but all my other weddings are like in the middle of being edited so I this is the only recent one I’ve finished.

I personally liked the outside shot, mostly because the lighting conditions were so horrendous, but it actually turned out ok. I cranked up the iso to 3200, dropped the f1.4, did a little lightroom magic…and here ya go.

I’ve also been working on editing my price page on my website. Click me to see!! Prior to listing my prices on the page I had a downloadable PDF (that I never liked) and then I had a system where people contacted me if they wanted pricing (I disliked that even more). So I figured why not just actually post em actually on the page.

My blogging requirements have officially been met for this week!!!

New Wedding!

 

Ok so I failed at my post a week blog thing. Oops! To make up for it I’m posting a few extra pics from a recent wedding I did in early January. 

The Old First Church in downtown Springfield made an amazing location to do some shots of just the bride and groom. With so many windows and such great architecture it’s tough to really go wrong.
