Well, I did it! Ive still got bajillions to learn, but I had my first engagement photo session.
These are my highlights from our day, and what a wonderful couple! These are our friends Justin and Brittany. They just recently got engaged and Andrew and I are proud to be a part of their wedding party (maid of honor and best man thank you very much). We are truly excited for them. I was so happy when they asked if I would take their engagement photos. I made sure to tell them that this would be a huge learning experience for me and for them to not be upset with me if the pictures didnt turn out very well.
I really have a lot to work on, lighting, positioning, camera settings, and pretty much everything else! But the main point is, I had a blast, and Im pretty sure they did too. We started in downtown Lubbock where it turns out there were a lot of awesome places to take pictures. Then we made our way to the Cap Rock Winery......where we accidentally "had to wine taste" and we got a free tour! Walking out with a case of wine between the 4 of us (andrew came too) we got to take some pictures at their beautiful winery. Although, they dont have grapes there.....(silly i know). Then we got to take a few pictures at Justin's parents house and got to use their awesome Ford! Anyway, here are my pictures. I sure hope Brittany and Justin like them! :)
I love this one!
Sexy Butts!
This red wall was a dream!
A little squinty eyed but still cute!
Mad that I cut off her foot, but still really like!
awwww!
She is so beautiful
This was hilarious, Justin is really like 6'8 and we had a difficult time squatting to make this picture work.
I love the colors in these. They laughed at me when I asked to take a picture like this, but turns out they really like it!
Happy Engagements Justin and Brittany!!!
Laurin, those photos are beautiful!! Absolutely gorgeous and fun. I am so impressed. I guess all that picture taking in high school paid off!! Miss you!
