Let the sun shine through your smile

With the days getting longer and the temperatures warming up, how can you not want to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather?!

While I've had great shoots at the beach, I know you all can be more creative in your location choice to really make your engagement session, senior portraits, family photos, and wedding pictures stand out.

For example, frolicing in a flower-filled field can capture the effortless feel of a beach while providing an intense color backdrop to really make the image *POP*

A favorite bench in a local park can be captured timelessly in black and white/neutral tones or you can be incredibly playful in body language, outfit choice, and even add-in some props.

Here's one of my absolute favorites: Trampoline! Really, no one ever looks boring on a trampoline. I'm envisionning a brilliant blue sky background and endless semi-acrobatic poses. Although simply photographing you laying on the trampoline holding hands can create a serene feeling with the green grass framing the background.

Incorporating your passions never fails to produce priceless photos. Whether you love wakeboarding, skiing, rollerblading, horseback riding, golfing... we'll find a way to transcend your zest and zeal into a work of art.

On that note, for more ideas of unique outdoor shoots, try turning to local art. Grand Rapids has had the fortune to have benefitted from ArtPrize in that many of the exhibits have become permanent fixtures in the community. Find a piece that truly inspires you and the rest will be a piece of wedding cake.
