Small Moments Studios Select Image

Here’s another one of my favorites… Kelly and Stephen were such a great couple and we had an awesome time capturing some cool images. We got a lot of great interactions between them as they are very fun and very sweet together. However, the shot below was slightly more planned, but yielded great results.  To me, this image is just gorgeous.  It makes me happy on a number of different levels, as not only do I love this image, but I know what went into making it.  We were done with all the pictures and we had to move on, but I wanted to get this image.  I didn’t have time to get lighting set up to offset the sun, since we were rushed at that point.  So in order to make this happen, we actually took two pictures and combined them afterwards.  One image, Keith is actually seen in because he held the flash right near them to get them lit that way… that was the quickest and easiest way to light them effectively.  The other image we took, Keith stepped aside so he wasn’t interfering with the shot.  In the end, we merge the two and get this.  I’ll put up a short video one of these days showing the original images and what we did.

Anyway, so this is another one of my favorites for the year.  I might need to blow this one up big for the studio…
