Summer Portrait Photography

This summer has been fantastic for portrait photography in Crested Butte CO. The weather has been beautiful in the mornings and the kids have been great! The best thing a photographer can do is make the children feel comfortable during a portrait session. I try to do this by being silly and asking the children's opinions. And parents being silly behind me while I am photographing just the children always helps too. Crested Butte has some great locations for portrait photography. My favorite spot is the Woods Walk. It has a great variety of backgrounds for the portrait session without having to walk too far. Enjoy these photos from my Portrait Photography in Crested Butte Album.

Wedding Photography in Crested Butte Tip #7

It is all about meeting with the client, making a personal connection. You are not just selling your portfolio, you are selling yourself. you are going to be photographing an intimate and very special day in your client's life, so getting along is beneficial to both parties. I suggest sitting down and having an hour to 2 hour long meeting with your potential client not just to sell your work or to even sell yourself but to make sure this is the right client for me and I am the right photographer for them.

Wedding Photography in Crested Butte Tip #6

Don't be afraid to pose your couple. I directed this shot all the way down to the kiss. It looks great and still has emotion and passion. Sometimes the moment right before the actual kiss is more passionate than the kiss itself. As for posing, telling the couple to stand in a certain place or how to hold each other helps to ensure you control the lightening, background etc. I often tell my couple where to go and then tell them to have fun with each other, have the groom whisper in the bride's ear, spin her, dance together, tickle. This creates moments between, relaxing them and their body language. Its a good way to start the shooting process because it loosens everyone up.

Tip #4

I like to use a fisheye for the dance shots at weddings. It's a great way to get the expressions of the other guests around the bride and groom or get the bride and grooms expressions while others dance. I also like to use a slow shutter speed to create movement with the lights. A flash bouncing off a wall or ceiling works well to freeze the motion of your main subject while you blur the background.

Wedding Photography Tip #3

Wedding Photography in Crested Butte Tip #3

I love my 28-70mm lens. I use it a ton when shooting weddings. I also rely on my fisheye and 70-200mm lens. This was shot with my 28-70, although and fisheye would have captured more of the background. The nice thing about the 28-70mm is it gives you the opportunity to be close to your subjects and interact with them, make them feel comfortable or direct them where to stand, but it also gives you the ability to zoom in when close or be a little farther away. It really works as a basic wide to short zoom which I find I use a lot, especially when they are walking down the isle. I can get the wider shot with maybe bridesmaids in front and the bride waiting behind them or the closer shot of the groom waiting at the front of the isle. It is always nice to have a 50mm or lensbaby for the fun close up, detail shots. But you can get good depth of field with the 28-70mm for those shots as well. Or use your zoom for a good blurred background. Just don't set your aperture too low for larger group shots, that back row will be blurry!

Baby Portrait today! Baby Zoe is only 5 lbs- this was the week she was due. But she joined the world early and is sooooooo adorable! I am so excited to put her in cute Santa hats and big baskets! We were suppose to have a pregnancy photo shoot with mom but she ended up going to the hospital the day we were scheduled to do the shoot! Baby portraits are one of my favorite. They are so cute and sweet and although there might be some tears they are always so wonderful to work with.
