Saturday I went with one of my favorite photographers Jalene Taylor. I’d followed her work ever since I was fifteen. It was so fun to finally meet her. She is very nice. I enjoyed watching how she posed and guided the couple. It made me feel good about how I do! It was similar. I learned I need to pose more with the hands. She also did a few poses that I hadn’t done before. One of the poses she used a lot was when the girl curls up around the guys arm. It’s important to try and loosen up the couple. Some couples don’t loosen up much. Part of my job that I love is seeing how couples interact with one another. Every couple is so different!
The location was beautiful. I went back there with my family the next day. They had these tall tall plants that are like golden wheat. I’d always wanted to find some and there they were! Tunnel Park! It’ll get even prettier as things get green. The light when we shot the engagements wasn’t ideal, but we backlit them so that they didn’t have to look into the sun.
She let me tag along for a senior recital session also! The girl ended up being my relief society president! It was so much fun to photograph her playing her viola in a field around sunset. The light softened as the time passed and it was gorgeous! I love love love portraiture!
