Summer Fun Time Shoot!

Here are a few images from the shoot with makeup artist Molly Krause. We both decided we wanted to have some fun with this shoot and do something a little different from the norm. Molly was looking forward to playing around and creating a look totally different from what she typically does with her brides and I thought it’d be a good idea to mess around with my studio lighting, as I’m generally much more comfortable shooting in natural light. So we chose a few bright tones for a color scheme, came up with the premise of old fashioned sundae cups and ice cream and went at it.

I still wanted to squeeze in some outside shots, as I wasn’t totally ready to zip out of my comfort zone. For the outdoor shots, we kept the make up a little more simple. The entire time I was shooting, I was so taken with all of the girls’ beautiful eyes and how much they popped against the green grass and overcast skies. I was sooo excited to get working on those shots.

After being chased down by mosquitoes (they’re really vicious this year…they’re one part of summer I’m anxious to leave behind), we ventured inside to play around with the studio lights. And…uh…let’s just say we had some technical difficulties. Erm. Still, we made do with what we had and the girls were totally game for it. I had such a lovely time working with these ladies! It’s no wonder we’re all already talking about our next collaboration.
