Family, color, laughter, and a dog

02.20.2012 Posted in Families

I photographed Jenny’s wedding a few years back and that’s when I had the privilege to meet the Montgomery family. Jenny had a beautiful ceremony in her parents back yard and that is where these portraits were taken. The Montgomery’s love to garden and keep their yard in impeccable shape all year round. So I had to take their portraits outdoors to reflect the color and beauty of their work. There was a lot of laughter and silliness during the shoot, as you can tell by the photos below. It was a hot day last year, so the shade from the trees was a welcome break.

Here are a handful of my favorite photos:

Set-Up

  • Nikon D700 – shooting in RAW
  • Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8
  • Nikon 50mm f/1.4
  • Photo Mechanic – For culling
  • Adobe Lightroom 3 for editing

    • orp portfolio Family, color, laughter, and a dog   orp contact Family, color, laughter, and a dog   orp facebook Family, color, laughter, and a dog   orp twitter Family, color, laughter, and a dog   


    By The Way – I really got to know the family by asking about the yard, which told me that they really enjoyed working on it. I find that it’s easier to shoot when I know the people I’m working with. I know that sounds simple, but really caring about your clients makes a big difference in how they open up to you.
