This spring, I showed you Heidi & Bryce’s adorable engagements photos we shot in Kathryn Albertson Park. Today, let’s take a look at their July wedding portraits. Keep an eye out for photos from their reception in a future post!
Sunny summer afternoons, beautiful parks, the always-stately Boise Depot, and old college friends: a recipe for a wonderful photo session. Hannah was in my graduating class at Willamette University, and when she told me a couple weeks ago she’d be driving through Boise, we planned a photoshoot downtown. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the afternoon with Hannah and her girlfriend, Anna, all taken along the Boise Greenbelt and at the Depot.
One of my friends recently asked me what I did with all my extra photos–you know, the ones that don’t make the final cut for an album. It’s a fair question: if I take well over 100 photos in an hour and only retouch 40 of those, what happens to all the others? Sadly, the answer is that most of these extras end up getting archived on my hard drive, never to see the light of internet stardom. It’s not that they’re bad photos (well, most of them). Some might be alternate angles and zooms on the same pose. Others might be shots I loved but just weren’t quite as good as the ones that made the grade for retouching. Tragic, but just as you can’t hug every cat, you can’t retouch every photo.
But that’s where the photo blog comes in. Every so often, I get to go through the archives, stumble across some favorite shots that didn’t make the original cut…and have a venue for posting the “new” photos. Kate’s photo session was way back in February, but that doesn’t mean the outtakes were forgotten! Here are a few of the best b-sides, as well as my favorite images from the original album.
What are friends for but to let you do their hair and makeup, and take glamorous photos of the results? Enjoy a selection of the shots I took of my friend Erin in Massachusetts this May…as well as a few of my favorite outtakes that didn’t make the original cut for the Facebook album.
No, he’s not a high school or college senior…but he is one of the most adorable two-year-olds you’ll ever meet (and certainly one of the most energetic ones). Here’s a selection from my session with him last month, taken at the Anne Frank Memorial, Boise Greenbelt, and Camel’s Back Park.
