"Real Moments"

This is a shot from a recent family session. The kids were off camera giving mom and dad a hard time but it made for a real moment. I love the fact that it is a spontaneous reaction. Often the time taken to do a very posed picture lets people get their guard up and it is harder to get those authentic expressions. Just liked the moment!!

My first senior session of the the season. Amanda Cruce from Dewey. I had told her to take a break while I was doing a battery change and she was just waiting on me and I loved this pose. So I shot this and did a high contrast black and white of it. Just shows that sometimes all the pre posed pictures aren't always the best. This just happened and I really like it. The happy accidents are sometimes the best!

Been awhile since my last post. Just been busy getting things together for the senior picture season. The above photo is from a family session from last week. I am glad families are wanting to do more location and places that mean something to them, that really make their photo "them". This is Angie Dillion and her family. I did Angie's senior pictures when she attended Labette County High School and also her wedding when I still did wedding photography. I think the old combine made a good backdrop.
