San Jose In-Home Family Session

Families, In-Home November 17, 2018

I got the take pictures of my coworker’s family last week! We were originally going to go to a nearby park, but because her kids are so young and the air quality was still bad, we opted to stay inside. Even before this plan, I had already wanted to do an in-home session at her house because when she works from home and we’re on a Google hangout together, I can see her kitchen and living room in the background, and I knew the neutral colors and natural light would be perfect. We chose to do this session earlier in the day because the light would be brighter and would diffuse into the house and not be too dark.

It was so fun to follow her kids around as they played with their planes, trains, and automobiles. They are how I imagine Austin was as a 7 year old, especially because Austin could name all the monster trucks that my coworker’s 7 year old had pictures of on the back of his door. They all love steam trains and cool planes… so it was hilarious to see! They look like they came out of a J Crew catalog or something.

Editing for indoors is something I’m not used to, but I like the way these turned out. I’m still practicing editing true to color and not overly saturating or exposing. I also have to remember not to underexpose TOO much — I’ve been underexposing intentionally so that in post I can bring out the highlights that might otherwise be blown out if I don’t underexpose… but I’m learning now that if you underexpose too much, even when you raise the exposure a lot in post, the picture looks really grainy.

I LOVE photographing families! Check out another blog post from a different family session too!

Also, stay tuned for guest blogs from Austin because he thinks my blog could use some flair and fun.

Last year I got to photograph a wedding ceremony by some pretty redwood trees, and this year I traded those for aspens. Clear creek inn and the town of Georgetown are so cute!!

Also, a champagne toast at the end of the ceremony is a great idea 💯

Now I will delete this app again, go into my editing cave, and see this beautiful inside and out couple on my screen every night! You can see some more previews in my story highlights

Congrats to Lindy, Zach, and their little girl!!! Congrats to Lindy, Zach, and their little girl!!! These two got married on Saturday in Georgetown, and the predicted all-day rain thankfully stayed away 🎉

I was delighted and honored that they moved their wedding from Kentucky to Colorado (where they live now) and asked me to photograph their nuptials. One of my favorite parts of weddings is seeing all the family and friends love on each other and the couple—Lindy and Zach’s community is amazing and I love that I got to meet them. I get to photograph the best people 💕and it’s clear from the way that people talk about these two that they are especially thoughtful, gracious, and welcoming. 

For now here are a few horizontal photo previews!
