Zahava's 3 Month & Family Photos - Sequoyah Park Knoxville

We had the pleasure of working with such an amazing family last week at Sequoyah Park. Rachel and David are a sweet couple who were up for anything (including climbing into some brush with a baby for a great photo opportunity), but their precious baby girl, Zahava, stole our hearts. Her sweet smile, adorable outfits and bows, and big, bright eyes simply made this family session. Zahava was an absolute joy to work with, and she was clearly aware of the camera (even if it took a little coaxing from her friend, a grey stuffed bear or a singing photographer).

Enjoy these tender moments from our family session with the Ortiz family.

Aprill & Calvin - Downtown Nashville Maternity

It was such a honor to travel to Nashville last week to take these maternity photos for my great friends, Calvin and Aprill. This couple wanted a stylish, elegant shoot, and this clear and sunny Monday evening was the perfect time to capture sweet moments celebrating their first child after our first shoot was rained out. Everything happens for a reason, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to explore downtown Nashville with such an awesome couple. You can clearly see the love and joy that Calvin and Aprill share, but I think you can also tell how fun this couple is from the more playful shots included.

Congratulations, Calvin and Aprill!

Enjoy these photos!

The Kiyimbas - Knoxville Botanical Gardens & Arboretum Family Photos

I had the pleasure of capturing some incredible moments with this sweet family at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens. When the news and weather channels were calling for rain all weekend, I wasn't sure if we would be able to proceed with the shoot, but with luck on our side, the day proved to be quite beautiful (that's Knoxville weather for you). The flowers are currently in full bloom, and the colors are simply stunning; however, the shots were clearly made by this adorable little girl, Nani.

This was my first time at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens and Arboretum, but Michelle and Jimmy actually did a maternity session here before Nani was born. I was honored to be able to photograph their family now at the the same location with Nani and to catch some fun moments of love and laughter. Enjoy these endearing moments of the Kiyimbas at the gardens.

Speed Light Testing

Yesterday,  Mario and I went to the University of Tennessee Knoxville campus to work on speed light setups. It is not always easy to bring a strobe light with you, but if you have a speed light, it can be really useful in outdoor situations. Also, speed lights are a lot smaller and easier to carry around with your on location shooting. 

In this first set up, we used two speed lights—one at camera left about 45 degrees from the subject and the other camera right about 45 degrees from the subject. The power for the speed light camera left was at 1/4 at 35mm. The speed light camera right was 1/16 at 105mm.

Camera settings: ISO 100, shutter speed 1/200, f7.1 with a 50mm f1.4 lens. 

Since the sun was to my back, we wanted to create a rim light on Mario's back and hair with the second speed light camera right. Although it is not needed, we wanted to see how it would turn out. 

Here is another example of a shot with just 1 speed light camera right 45 degrees.

Camera Settings: 1/200, f2.8, ISO 100 50mm f1.4

We also did some shots with the sun to Mario's back. This was also a one light setup with the speed light camera right 45 degree angle.

Camera settings 1/125, f10, ISO 50 50mm f1.4

The rest of the time out on campus we shot some natural light shots. Here are a few from walking around campus.

We would love to capture your wedding or special event!
