flashback friday

Going through Teagan’s birth slideshow got me thinking about how much his arrival has changed Ty and Taryn. I thought I’d do a good old fashioned “flashback friday” and post a few of the last shots I took of just the two of them together. Last February…just 5 days before Teagan arrived =)

Be sure to stop by this weekend for lots of mini session and newborn session sneak peeks!!

Thank you Anne Marie for all your hard work and your time, you did an awesome job, we are forever grateful.

Anne Oliver: A lesson in backlighting

As in only go out on cloudy days or find very large patches of shade, kind of scared. But there is a whole world out there that I was missing, silhouettes, sun flare and backlighting. It took some time, some research and a ton of practice to start getting it right. I love the sun now, being able to use it to your benefit is powerful, especially for a pro. I get lots of questions about how I shoot backlit photos, and since y’all know I’m not the best teacher, I thought I’d ask someone […]
