I can't believe I'm going to do this!!!! Remember Sarah's senior session that I just did? Well, I mentioned that I had done her brothers' senior portraits too and today I want to show you how this one family has been with me from the very beginning and how far I have come since 2017. Sarah's brother, Nathan, was one of the very first seniors I ever photographed! I still tell him that I owe him another photo shoot and you'll probably agree when you see these photos. I am pretty sure I was still shooting on automatic (I know I was still shooting JPEG) and I was editing with what was available with the photo software that came with my computer!! I knew nothing about light and didn't have a flash other than what was built into the camera. Basically, I knew nothing! I can't believe anyone was actually letting me take their photos! But I try to have grace for myself because I was extremely new to photography and didn't really know what I was doing. I have to remember that they were happy with the photos at the time and everyone has to start somewhere. Two years later, I had found Katelyn James and finally knew things about light! I had started identifying my style and really was coming into my own as a photographer. Even from 2018 to 2019, my work saw a huge shift!!! I had the tools to be confident in my work. I am still quite proud of these photos. And that brings us to today! I know you just saw these, but for our purposes, here are a few of Sarah's photos from just the other day. I'm pretty pleased that the differences between Luke's & Sarah's mostly stem from the lighting variations. Luke had some sunshine, while Sarah's session was very cloudy and it actually started raining (that effects the colors of everything!). You can see a huge change from Nathan's photos, though! I cannot tell you how much fun I had on each of these sessions. This family believed in me from the very beginning and have stuck with me through the years and I am so thankful for that trust! It has been my dream since the beginning to walk with families through their lives, so to get to photograph all three of their kids is a dream come true for me!
