C.J. and I went out to Sedgwick County Park in west Wichita to take some engagement portraits of Kari and Kaleb. The autumn colors were amazing, and so were these two. Awesome and laid back, Kari and Kaleb really connected.

Kaleb wasn’t too sure about the whole getting his picture taken thing, but I don’t think we made it too painful on him. Always good to meet a fellow Cowboys fan.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

We’re looking forward to their wedding in May! Check out the rest of their engagement photos here: http://themosaicphoto.net/kari-kaleb-engagement

C.J. and I took senior pictures for a laid back guy

Mike was very relaxed and chilled. We had a great time with him and getting to know him. A huge compliment to us is when we know the subject doesn’t like getting his picture taken, but ends up having a good time. Or at least, a better time than he thought it’d be.

Take a look at the rest of his senior photos.

C.J. and I had the pleasure of shooting Mike and Erin’s engagement pictures.  We knew it was going to be a good session when they offered us coffee right as we walk in, and Blind Pilot is playing. We started off at Erin’s house in Riverside, then shot some in Riverside Park.

We love it when photos really display personalities.  Our favorite shoots are about interaction, and this was a great example of photos coming together because of the natural, fun nature of Erin and Mike coming through.  They’re somewhat retro, which is a bit of departure from our normal processing, but these photos screamed to be dated to match the subjects and tone of the photographs.

Our first senior portraits for the 2010 class

We’d done my cousin’s wedding photos a while back in Baxter Springs. My cousin’s cousin then asked us if we could do his senior pictures.  He was having them done this summer because he was growing his hair out for a musical he is going to be in this coming fall. Nick does about everything. Sing, piano, basketball.

While he was up in the Wichita area, I took him to a Steinway where he just played for a while as I set up lights and shot him having a good time.  Next, we went to Chisolm trail park, and then to a gym for some basketball pictures. Here are a few from his senior portrait session.

We shot Jackie and Brandon’s engagement pictures a while back. They’re a fun couple. Brandon played baseball at Wichita State, and Jackie played tennis there. We were able to get into Eck Stadium at WSU to take some pictures, followed by some shots around campus.

Here’s the save the date card we made for them:

Laura and I took some portraits of Phoenix. What an awesome kid, we had a great time. Her mom is a fan of sepia, so we were a little bit heavier on the toning than normal.

See the rest of this cute kid’s pictures here.

Photos at the bookstore and the park

I had the privilege of shooting Jessi and Josh’s engagement photos a while ago. I’ve known Jessi dating back to kiddy pool days, and I’ve gotten to know Josh recently. Both are hilarious, smart, fun people. What really made these photos was the interaction these two had with each other. They probably love each other or something.

We went to Eighth Day and Oak Park. Here are some of my favorites.

My good friend Matt and I made some pictures for his senior recital announcements

Back in March, Matt asked me to create some portraits of him. The idea was to get one or two shots for an announcement he was going to send out for his senior composition recital. Matt’s very talented and creative. He also let me have free reign over the session, and I’m really happy with what we came up with. All of the pictures are very much him, capturing something about his personality. Below is the card I designed with the images I took:

Laura and I take some senior portraits!

Laura and I had a great time taking Claire’s senior portraits.  Laura and I tend to bounce ideas and silly conversation off of each other pretty well, which usually makes it enjoyable.  It also makes for a pretty relaxed atmosphere. At the end of the shoot, we got one of the coolest compliments I’ve gotten, “You guys are really fun.” That blew me away, since my senior portrait session was not a fun experience. It was okay. But not fun. So that made me really glad to know that Claire had such a good time getting her senior pictures taken.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

Peer review is good.

When it comes to visual things, most of the time, the majority of people will agree on one “right” option. And, most of the time, I can’t say I disagree with the results. So I’m asking for you all’s help. From the two versions, which one do you like more?

I couldn’t decide if I liked the blown out or highly contrasted version. Whichever one receives the majority votes will go up in our portfolio. Thanks!
