A special moment during a portrait session


It started out as a normal portrait session except for the blue norther arriving during the shoot at the Dallas Arboretum. I think a lot of photographers and customers would have thrown in the towel for this session when the weather report was known. This session goes to show that often
you can get great results in less than ideal conditions. Stephen and Sara were great and wanted a good photo shoot with different looks and a little cold and a lot of wind did not stop them. We made good use of the wind with Sara's hair and the high thin clouds that arrived were perfect for the lighting of the shots, I used a SB800 flash for fill. The surprise came at the end of the session, when out of the blue, Stephen proposed marriage and Sara accepted with great happiness, what a session. Other images of Stephen and Sara

POST TREATMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHS

The below photograph taken at a horse race has been changed to look more paint like, this is done with software and Photoshop and is something that I have started to explore for a different look and feel.
