Behind the scenes

Lovely rolling canola fields


I had the best time Monday evening sitting in on an engagement photo shoot for my sister, Kirsten, and her fiance, Scott.

Karey, the photographer and previous owner of ma'baby(Nikon D90),
thought it might be fun for me to tag along with my camera and grab a few shots of my own.

You know, get a little 'schooling' under my belt.

Which, indeed, is long overdue as I've been strictly shooting in 'Auto' the whole time due to my lack of know-how with ye' old 'Manual' setting.

Karey

At the same time, arrangements were made to snag a couple pics of Karey as she's a glowing 35 weeks pregnant with her third child, and--

Get this...

Never had maternity shots taken of herself.


This to me is shocking because Karey is, in my opinion, one of the most talented, self-taught photographers I know, especially in the avenue of maternity and newborns.

She nails it every time.

But, you know what they say--
Always the photographer,
never the photographed.


--'k, I'm not even sure that's an actual saying...
In fact.  I'm certain it's not.


You know what I mean.

Always behind the camera and never in front of it.


Bride & Groom to-be


Between Kirsten, Karey and myself--

The golden hills were alive with the sound of
camera shutters forever snapping.


Ridiculously cute...


So, yeah...

These are the few gems I gathered from that particularly glorious sun-kissed evening.

Love.Sweet.Love.
