Look y'all!!! It's my sister!! My sister and her boyfriend Will are making their first of many appearances on the blog today! After a few months of dating these two are gracing us with their pretty little faces! My sister has been wanting to do a session for awhile now, as it has been awhile since I twisted her arm into doing a shoot a few years ago, that session was just of her and a few of me and her for our mom. But, it was alot easier this time around, especially since she wanted to do it! Me and my mother teamed up on these two and for Christmas we got them a gift certificate for a full couples session, which by the way, in case  you didn't know is $225, split into two payments, if you need them to be, one deposit and one payment. And it also now includes two locations and two outfits and about 60 images. And, it now comes with amazing packaging when you receive your DVD. Anyways moving on, and back to their session!! It was a gift for Christmas, but we ended up shooting it in March because of the insane weather this year. So, we all road together and headed towards Boone Park in riverside  which if you know me, that's one of my favorite places to shoot, but I will not be shooting there anymore solely to add more variety to my images and not keep using the same places. 

So, we get to Boone Park and walk around and try and find some amazing light and it was one hell of a challenge, it was such a spotty light day, the sun was coming in and out and there wasn't alot of shade coverage anyways, so from the start the light was like the weather had been the previous 3 months. We took a few shots here, got some good ones and then I asked if they would mind leaving and finding somewhere else. From there we headed further into Riverside and landed at riverside park, this is right by 5 points, it is most well known for the duck pond in the middle of the park. One side of that park is all shade, that makes this photographer very happy! This park is always full of the most interesting people, including the homeless man that would not move his laying in the middle of the sidewalk self out of my way. He literally straight up ignored that I was even talking to him or that I existed when I politely asked him if he minded moving over slightly to the right some. But, its okay I had a great ole time photo-shopping him from all the images he photo bombed. Other than him and  a rouge duck that flew directly at into my face just about, the location was great and the pictures were great and you can really see the love between these two. And, yes I am partial 100% because it is my sister, and I am so happy for her and her boyfriend who is so sweet to her and treats her like she deserves to be treated. And he better or else he will have me to answer to!! And yes sir that is a threat! LOL. But in all seriousness, I am so happy that my sister has found her happiness and on top of all that they now have these wonderful images to go with it. And, they even got a great photo-book from this session too!! You can add one to your shoot as well!! 

I love the couples sessions like this one, where you can see that they are so in love and so happy. For one, when a man is willing to even do a couples session, that alone says something right there about how much he loves his girlfriend or wife or what have you. I know how much men hate having there picture taken, so that being said, when that is the case, during the shoot, sometimes I will tend to focus slightly more on the lady and it always always always makes for amazing images. 

 Another great reason to shoot in riverside, just jumping around topic-wise, is that there are so many different locations that are amazing and totally with in walking distance to each other. From Riverside Park I made these two little love birds walk across the street to an old church that had amazing brick walls. It added a great texture to some of the images and it gave the session alot more images to choose from with alot of variety in not only posing, but backgrounds. I am all about getting the most for your money here folks!! And the church also had a great little grassy area in the front of it too, that made for a great place to shoot, so, if anyone is down for alot of variety, riverside is where it is at! Just please be aware of crazy ducks that will fly directly at your face and make you scream like your being killed and then have everyone turn around and stare at you like you are a moron. I love this job, no lie.
Couples are so much fun to shoot, I love the interactions between them I love having my clients renew my  own sense of the love in the world by their actions. That being said, I want to work with more couples!! If you would like to book a session or get more information on a session just let me know, you can email contact@unobstructedstudios.com to get more info or to book. I will be glad to help in any way I can and I am so excited to implement new packaging for all sessions, I am sooooooo happy an excited about the new packaging and presentation of your images, I cant wait to share it with y'all.
