It was my sister's anniversary this year with her husband. She asked me to babysit. Okay, she didn't ask, we volunteered. But it was still fun. We got to watch 4 kids and eat pizza. Somehow, we survived.Since I was going to be coming over, Debbie did ask if I wouldn't mind taking some photos of her and Mike. They haven't had a photo taken of just them for quite awhile. I agreed and thought I would put to use some of the techniques I have learned lately.
For this particular photo, I used two lights. One was a 430ex speedlight camera left shot through an umbrella to soften the light. The other light was the sun. The sun was setting and creating a nice warm light that was just hitting the their hair. I did put a CTO gel on the speedlight to help match the warmth of the sun. The sun put a nice rim light on them while the speedlight filled in from the left.
This was captured during their fun banter between each other. There was a lot of playing around with these two so we have quite a few photos with bunny ears and open-mouth laughing. I did capture this photo and I choose this one to highlight because of the uniqueness to this photo. I like it because the anticipation of the kiss - just enough separation between them to create a highlight and their expressions show how much they care for one another. There is so much emotion spilling from this photo.
Happy Anniversary Debbie & Mike. I hope you enjoy the photos. The bill is in the mail. ;)

Matt your pictures are awesome. Sometime this summer I need to hire you to take some of me and Jake! How much do you charge??
I love that picture too...I told her she should have put it on HER blog :)
Matt thank you for watching the kids and taking our pictures. It was kind of fun even though I hate seeing me in photos. That's probably why there aren't a lot of photos of me around. You did great and I love the photos. I can't wait to get them developed and framed.
