Brownie Beach Trash the Dress GTG

Yesterday, the usual suspects (minus a certain few who know who there are) met up over on the eastern shore of Maryland to have some fun with three models Ivonna, Kelly, and Ali to have a fun Trash the Dress Session. A big thanks to Kelly Woods of FACEMODE.COM for doing a fantastic job on the girl's makeup. The weather was crazy yesterday, going from rain to sunshine and back again. I'm just glad my gear is weather sealed (thanks Nikon!), so no worries, my camera will be fine for the wedding marathon in May/June. I've really been having fun doing the whole "stop motion" thing with my photos lately, so without further ado (it's a short one, 520 photos = 1 minute) :

Chesapeake Beach Senior Session Marathon

This past weekend I got a chance to hang out with the amazing Natalie Franke during a marathon senior session she was doing. We hung out down at Brownie Beach on the eastern shore of Maryland, and the conditions couldn't have been better. Bright blue skies, nice warm sun and a gentle breeze to cool you down and gorgeous clients! The beach was rather packed so we tried to stay away from the crowds by going down towards the cliffs, which was totally cooler than sand anyways! I decided to use a couple new flash techniques I'd been playing around with to try to make some of the images pop a little more. I also got a chance to learn quite a few tricks from Natalie's skills too! She has a real knack for getting a sparkle in someone's eye at just the right moment! Make sure you check out her post here!

Here's a few results from an awesome day:

Before and After

Yep, I got wet making this image, not too bad though...see below

I was going to a beach, I should have brought sandals...guess I didn't think I get wet?

We had a blast! Make sure you book Natalie for your senior session fast!
