I photographed Molly’s session yesterday morning, it’s not every week that I’m this caught up. What a great feeling though. I’ve known Molly’s mom, Stacie since we were young, she was best friends with my cousin Kelly growing up. I love when clients have ideas of where they want to take their photos. Stacie suggested Lafreniere Park and I can honestly tell you, I’ve never photographed a session there. (And it’s only 10 minutes away from where I live- odd I know) As a photographer, you get in your comfort zone of the places you shoot and you can literally visualize the good areas in your head before you even arrive. This happens because you’re so used to shooting there. So anyway, when someone suggests someplace new- I get really excited! It’s like a blank canvas that causes me to think extra hard while shooting. We walked almost the entire park and every 30 feet I would stop, observe and look for the next location to shoot. I am always mindful of 3 major things: lighting, background objects and safety. I put Molly in the tree for one shot and then I said, nahh… change of plans :) It’s all about trying things out and testing your limits. At the end, I was left with a ton of photos that I feel captured Molly’s personality perfectly. Playful, sweet, and girly!
