I arrived at 6:30PM to find out that their doggies had eaten an entire cantaloupe - core & all ! Pretty amazing and luckily not poisonous to dogs! After cleanup we headed off to the golf course for the first location.
When we were headed back to the house for a clothing change - I just couldn't resist this shot - I LOVE silhouettes!!! In case you can't tell - that is one of the most amazing things about Colorado - the sunsets over the mountains with the reds, yellows and blues =)
As you can tell it was getting dark and our next location is a field near there house - I had initially imagined it with the sun peaking from behind the mountains - but since we had a little surprise cleanup at the beginning we just didn't make it back in time. So instead we had a nighttime picnic with the prairie dogs. This is probably my favorite shot from the shoot - I used a battery pack with a strobe for my main light and a shutter speed of 6 seconds to get the nice ambient light.
That shot really inspires me to try some nighttime engagement photos - so if you know anyone up for this project that lives in Colorado - I'd love to try it out.
Last but not least - the most difficult photo of the shoot - Holly & Larry + Animal Kiddos
It worked out pretty well - what we learned is that Reverend (far left) is scared of the camera clicking noise.
Thanks Holly & Larry for making my project a success !!!
