Senior Pictures with Kody

Here are some images from my session with Kody.  It was a beautiful day for pictures at Winter-Smith Park.  I had never been there before and so it was a real treat.  So thanks to Kody's mom, Melinda for the suggestion!  There was a great variety of amazing spots for photos. So I tried to take advantage of as many as possible.  Thanks Kody for being a trooper! You would make a great model. 

Senior Pictures in the Park

What a perfect day it was for Senior pictures with Aubrey!  We had a great time as we checked out the park.  So many options for great photos!  Aubrey rocked a blue scarf that just happened to match the blue chair I brought along.  Who would have guessed we could pick out the same exact color.  I have heard it said that great minds think alike...and I know Aubrey has a great mind. LOL  The light was amazing and Aubrey's beauty radiated throughout the photoshoot.  Loved getting the opportunity to photograph such a sweetheart.  Check out some of the images below.

Brilee's Fourth Birthday!

Wow, chasing a four year old around can be a quite interesting.  Especially when she is a happy and spirited child.  Brilee was one of the most spirited and happy child I can remember meeting.  I have seen my fair share of children and Brilee was a treat to be around.  She was a very expressive child and was moving none stop the entire time. I could tell toward the end of our session she was starting to get a little tired.  I can't remember a face any cuter than hers as she could give that amazing smile one minute then a totally different expression the next.  She was a such a blast to photograph.  Here are a few pictures from my shoot with her.  Hope you enjoy them!  

Zoop and Jenny's Engagement Photos

Just before sun set an awesome engagement photo shoot started with Jenny Newell and her fiancé Steve “Zoop” Williams. The photo shoot started out at Jenny’s house on a bench which was turned towards the back pasture. Zoop sat down on the bench and Jenny sat down next to him and just before the pictures started to be taken a black cat kept jumping up on the bench with them and the two dogs just wanted to sit in their laps. The cat won but the dogs lost and the pictures began.

Jenny called her grandfather and he agreed to pull an old tractor out of the barn for a big prop for a back drop. Wow some beautiful pictures turned out on the tractor. We found many different props to use for the photo shoot, so after the tractor we used an old farm rake. We had to work around the sun a little and really had to work hard at getting a smile from Zoop.

We moved on to some tree stumps which made for some beautiful shots as the sun sunk alittle lower in the sky. Posing this photogenic couple proved to be very easy and made for some very good shots. Then we moved on into the woods where a tree stood out to us. And the photogenic couple continued with the perfect poses.

Let’s not forget about Jenny’s father’s old 1950 something pickup just atop of the hill behind us. The sun had just started moving behind the trees, which made for some very good lighting situation. Yes that’s right even more props came out, a picture of a “J” and a “S” was added to the truck pictures.

As we were leaving Jenny’s grandfather’s property we had a visit from a cotton mouth snake which crossed the path just in front of us. Zoop missed stepping on it by mere inches. Wow, a snake that close and luckily no one was bitten.

The photo shoot ended with some shots of the couple walking down the road being followed by Jenny’s horse who wanted to be in the picture too. Then we moved out to an open field for some shots as the sun set behind the hill. The dogs wanted in some the pictures too, and they even posed well for the shots.

By the way Zoop does smile throughout the photo shoot, he just smiles bigger when you fall into a hole in the ground. Thanks Zoop for the support.

When editing the pictures, it was hard to choose the best shots, and even harder to pick a few for my Creative Series. All the shots turned out to be my favorite and this photogenic couple proves there is no way for a picture to not turn out perfect. Jenny and Zoop, we at Creative Sight Photography would like to thank you for a wonderful photo shoot, and wishes the two of you many, many wonderful years together in marriage. We look forward to seeing you at your wedding.

Bridal Photo Shoot in Guthrie

Bridal photo shoot in Guthrie, OK at a historic building sound interesting? I thought it did so I gave it a whirl!  There were several pieces to this project that had to come together to make this photo shoot happen. But it was worth all the work in the end. 

First step was to find a wedding dress for my model.  I located a dress I could rent from a resale shop and was pretty sure that was the path I was going to have to take.  But a lady from church gave me the best news when she told me she had a dress I could borrow.  Not only was the dress amazing it photographed very well and looked great on the model.  Next, I had to recruit a model.  This was a task that did become cumbersome with trying to schedule the time with three different people and the two snow storms and my brother being sick.  But nonetheless we were finally able to work it into everyone’s schedule. 

A couple days before the photo shoot I was trying to get all the loose ends tied up and asking myself all kinds of questions.  Does the model have jewelry to wear? What about a veil?  Are all the batteries charged? Are the lights packed?  What about flowers?  My bride needs a bouquet!  Luckily I had some flowers that were left over from my many craft projects.  Joanna, my dear friend was kind enough to transform my pile of flowers into two beautiful bouquets.  You’ve got to love it when God blesses you with some of the most helpful people in the universe!  Thank you Joanna for making the bouquets, they were lovely! 

 I was yet again blessed on the day of the shoot with absolutely fantastic weather.  It was in the low 70’s which was a far cry from the freezing cold weather of the past few weeks that included two snow storms.  And not just a little snow. Oh no we had enough snow that they closed school for 4 days one week and two days the next.  Crazy is all I can say about that.  So the 70 degree weather felt great!

We got to the building in historic downtown Guthrie and the anticipation of what exactly lies in store for the photo shoot was exciting.  The exterior of the building was a brick three story corner building and the signs of age were apparent.  It had a very antique feel to it and the possibilities for potential photos were running through my mind.  Once inside we were shown the layout of the building and we began to setup.  There were many areas that caught my eye as great locations so I knew I had to use my time wisely in order to make time to capture them all.

The photo shoot was super fun but I know my model, Hannah, was beat from all the work.  Models don’t get near enough credit…it is hard work to stand in front of a camera and “look this way”, “smile that way”, “turn your shoulders like this”…for long periods of time.  So, Hannah, thanks for being a trooper and easy to work with, you ROCK girl!
