This was an unusual shoot for me. Debra, Bre’s mother, invited me into her amazing home to photograph her daughter’s senior prom. And while I tend to photograph mostly families and weddings, this totally rocked my world. I loved every minute of it. I arrived a little early to capture some of Bre with her boyfriend, Josh. They were a little nervous at first, but the second I told them to forget I was there and just be together, the shoot flew by. They stepped into their roles rather naturally as they did what they do best… flirt. With each other. All I had to do was snap.
I loved it when Bre released her inner super model. whoa! Look at her!
But you know, my favorite is when a girl can really let loose in front of my camera with the person she adores, adoring her, and i can capture a little bit of who they really are. Her cuteness. Her quirkiness. Her sense of humor. Her expressions say so much about how she adores her boyfriend, Josh. And especially about how he adores her. And when I can capture some of that, that is my favorite.
A little of Josh’s inner super-model too!!! no, not supermodel… rather masucline G.Q. STUD is perhaps a better word…
On a little side note, Debra’s husband, Bre’s father, lost his battle with cancer about 18 months ago. Debra had a memorial garden designed in his honor. For the last few minutes of the shoot we took a stroll out their for some portraits in the garden. Despite the mid-day sun, these really turned out to be some of my favorites.
wow. is all i am saying. effortless. totally effortless on my part. she is just that stunning.
