Week in Review: Fall Photo Shoots

 The leaves are so beautiful right now and unfortunately they don't last long. October is the perfect time for photo shoots! The leaves are so colourful and the light is beautiful. It is also a great opportunity to get your "Christmas Card Photos" taken.
If you are interested in getting your photos done in fall here are some things to think about:

- What is the best time of day to get photos? Evening is the best time for light! The light is so golden at this time of day and if you love that "fall glow" this is the perfect time for photos. If it doesn't work for you to get them done at this time of day that is fine too!

- What to Wear? Don't worry yourself too much on this topic. The best outfits are ones you all feel comfortable in. They can be "dressy casual" and they don't all have to match. It is best to leave out shirts with big logos or sayings on them as those can be distracting in the photos.

- How much does it cost? Family shoots are $225 and include up to 2 hours of shooting and multiple locations if you would like. Multi-Family shoots (your immediate family and their immediate families) are $325 and also include up to 2 hours of shooting and multiple locations.
For a complete price list click here. 

- How do I get my photos? Your photos will be mailed or delivered to you. Your photos come in two formats: Print Ready and Web Ready. Print ready photos are large files for printing and the web ready photos are smaller so you can upload them easily to the internet. You will receive them on a disc and can use them however you like.

- Should I bring anything? If there are any props you are wanting, feel free to bring them to your shoot! If there is something that you would like to have in your shoot don't hesitate to ask me and I could possibly arrange to bring it with me to your shoot!

- What about Location? Location is mostly up to you. It is best to have some shade available just in case it is very sunny out. If you are wanting "fall feel" to your photos, choose a place that has a lot of trees and leaves or plants with a lot of colour!

Week in Review: Transition into Fall

     Fall has almost officially been here for a week and even though the weather has been more like summer the past few days you can definitely feel and see the change of season.
     Fall was never my favourite season but I am starting to like it more and more and now I am excited that it is here. I love all the colours, the change in fashion, the food, and especially the golden light in the evenings. I also love the transitions the season brings:

 Wedding Shoots to Family Shoots

Sandals to Boots

T-Shirts to Sweaters

Ice Tea to Hot Tea

Green to Orange

 I hope everyone has a great fall season and embraces all the transitions that it brings. I know I am definitely excited for all the family shoots this fall as I love taking photos in the leaves and the beautiful golden light! 

Cheers to Fall!

Sneak Peek: Engagement Shoot {Kyle Engagement Photographer}

  I love engagement shoots and I had such a great time with these two! They picked out some awesome locations and were up for anything! Once again it was a bright and sunny summer day. We went to a few different locations including the rodeo arena. She is a barrel racer and he is a bronc rider so I love how that gave their photos a personal touch. I hope you enjoy their sneak peek.

Week in Review: Walking, Walking and More Walking

 This past week has been a busy one! Lot's of photo shoots, a wedding and working on getting caught up on editing. My horses also got worked on this week, while they are on rest, I am having to hand-walk them multiple times a day to keep things in place and to loosen their sore muscles. It is a great break in-between editing and I am really enjoying the nice weather and the break for my eyes. I hope everyone is enjoying the last official days of summer!
