Let’s take a look back at Samantha shooting through the years. We appreciate her candid style of photography. Who knew signing up to be a photographer for her college newspaper would lead her down a road where she’s still shooting 20 years later?!
Boy, was I tickled to be at this surprise photo shoot! She wanted to surprise her husband of 40+ years by wearing her wedding dress again. I don’t know too many people who can still fit in their dresses that many years later. It was an emotional surprise for them both, and we were pleased to capture those moments.
One way to enhance your photography skills, as mentioned in an earlier blog, is to look at things a little differently. That can mean focusing on an object in the foreground, or even zooming in closer on smaller objects. There’s so much beauty in nature. It’s often overlooked in favor of a personal subject. Take the time to look a little closer.
Here’s some more of Samantha’s travel photography. This post includes scenes from GA, TN, VA, MO, IL, WI, CO, and UT. There are so many beautiful things to see in this country of ours. And while we may be a young country, there’s still plenty of history. Check out Nation Park properties – they won’t disappoint!
This couple didn’t let a constant rain dampen their day! While adjustments had to be made, this bride and groom didn’t mind the rain. We even wandered around to get photos in the rain. They got married on their own property, and live next to a nature preserve, so there were beautiful locations all around.
Alaska is a place of beauty. This is actually one of the best times of year to visit, as the bugs aren’t out in force. The landscape is rugged, the glaciers are majestic, and the wildlife…well…wild.
We all can picture going on a picnic during the summer. Baskets with sandwiches, fruit, and crackers pour forth. Every now and then, we get the chance to photograph some good eats.
Sometimes all it takes for a photo to feel more “artsy” is to shift the focus. You can find something in the foreground to focus on, while keeping the subject in the background. Here are examples from weddings we’ve shot. This is one of Samantha’s favorite types of photos to shoot.
It’s well into summer now. Camps all around the country are celebrating with children and activities. What was your favorite camp activity growing up? I’m pretty partial to anything with horses. Maybe you’re more of a swimmer, or rock climber? Rest assured, there are camps out there to meet anyone’s need.
It’s a Semiquincentennial celebration, y’all! Most Americans will be celebrating this 4th of July with fireworks. But here’s something most Americans have never seen – fireworks through 3D glasses! What a beautiful array of color and shine. Happy birthday, America!
