First workshop for @modebyflickr done. 5 to go.

Kicked off Mode Photography Festival in Minneapolis with a fast-paced shoot focused on editorial, fashion, style and wedding photography.

@devonericksen and  @mikaelmekyel were absolutely brilliant. Great energy, completely up for it, and somehow we managed to pull together a stack of strong images in a very short time.

No endless posing. No overthinking. Just good people, good light, a clear idea and getting stuck in.

The delegates brought the energy and, judging by the laughs and the images they walked away with, they had a pretty good time too.

Here’s a little behind the scenes, with some of the results thrown in.

Minneapolis, you’re off to a good start.

One down. Five to go.

The shoot I was fortunate enough to be the Director of Photography on today can only be described as one thing: cathartic. The location was Lakewood Cemetery, the exact location within the grounds was steps away from my great friend, and mentor, Jonathan Chapman’s final resting place. I knew it would be emotional, the man taught me much of what I know about composition, lighting, etc., and I was going to be making those calls within arms length of him all these years later. It could have been sad, but I had a lot of the people that knew him around me, like stylist @annmarshikstyle, assistant @molly_meehan, producer @devonericksen and photographer @davidellisphoto. What really made it special is Jonathan’s son @_wesleyoc made an appearance on set as well. 

I’m tearing up as I write this, not because I’m sad but out of joy for all the wonderful people that I still know because of him and because I hope he’d be happy to see that we’re all still doing it, at a high level, because of his influence.

Still love you, JC 👊🏼

Incorporating color into your family session outfits is less about how much and more about how intentionally. I always recommend choosing tones that feel like the season you’re in, complement the location your session will be at, and enhance your natural complexion! A great tip is to lay out your family’s outfits prior to your session and ensure they coordinate well.

I’m loving the four foundational colors in this lovely family session at Lyndale Rose Garden; shades of soft coral and muted blues grounded by ivory and beige. Neutrals (particularly lighter neutrals) help to brighten an overall image, balance pops of color, and help tie everything together. 

I absolutely love providing wardrobe help to my couples if requested, so you are never alone in deciding what to wear for your session. All clients also have access to my client wardrobe if shopping or finding something in your closet just sounds too difficult (can relate)!
