Memories to Last Forever – The Woodlands and Spring Proposal Photographer

One of the most important moment of our lives is when we find our person, the one we will love forever, and choose to commit ourselves to that love that will last. While it would be wonderful if our friends and families could all be there for the proposal, sometimes our worlds are miles apart.

What you CAN do is make sure that you have it all documented so that you can share those photos with everyone you know and love, so they can also witness the joy! Hiring a professional photographer ensure that your photos will not only be carefully composed, well lit, and timed perfectly, but will also showcase all the emotion of the day in a way our cell phones just can’t. If you are proposing, and want to have memorable photos of the moment to share with your loved ones and your future children, ask me about how I can help you set up the perfect proposal session!

How to Plan A Surprise Proposal- The Woodlands Proposal and Engagement Photographer

Are you planning the ultimate surprise for your girlfriend or boyfriend – a proposal? This is a very important moment and you want everything to be absolutely perfect. From start to finish, it has to be planned perfectly. When hiring a photographer to photograph the big moment, here are some very important things to consider, how to plan, and questions to ask.

EXPERIENCE
Has the photographer ever photographed a proposal before? Ask to see examples of their work, to be sure their style is the one you are imagining and hoping for.  An experienced photographer can read the moment, and be ready to shoot when the time is right.  The results should be professional and artistic, and taken from the correct angle to showcase the moment.

LOCATION
Choosing the right location at the right time of day is very important, because you want to be able to share photographs that are not only emotional (content) but beautiful (professionally framed and shot).

The time of day matters, because light is key to photography – bad light can ruin your shots. Consider moving the location if it’s in direct sunlight, or the time of day to later in the evening for better light. You’ll want a spot where there isn’t a crowd, with people to get in the way. Make sure your photographer knows this location well, and it is an appropriate setting to pop the question, and that it makes sense for you to be there. A spot near restaurants makes sense, as a cover for why you’re there all dressed up.

SET UP
If you choose a more quiet location such as a park, you enlist friends and family to create a set up and mark where you’ll stop to propose. Some clients use handmade signs, a picnic basket with champagne, a trail of of rose petals (careful of wind!), bouquets of flowers, and balloons to mark the spot.

Your photographer should be there before you, to help secure the location before hand, and be there early waiting for you to arrive.

MAKE IT A SURPRISE
You want the proposal to be a surprise, so you’ll need some help before the day. Enlist the help of family and friends, to keep your soon-to-be-fiancé in the dark.

She’ll want her nails looking Instagram ready, so have a sister or friend take her out for a manicure. Book a restaurant, so she’ll have a reason to be dressed up. You could also say you booked a photographer for a little photoshoot together, and this helps explain why there is a photographer waiting at the spot. Or your photographer can discretely sit on a park bench, and then get into position when the moment arrives.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SESSION
Photographers offer a huge variety of packages, which can be confusing. Make sure the one you choose will get you enough photos to cover the whole event.

Most photographers offer full sessions (usually $750-$1200) with a lot of digital images, as well as print options. Some also offer mini sessions for under $400 – but watch the fine print to see how many photos you get. Some offer as little as 3 digital images for that price point.

I offer a perfect little mini session that gives you great coverage of this exciting event, for a lower price point than full sessions. Click here to check out my Mini Session Deal!

Plan the Perfect Surprise Proposal with Your Photographer – The Woodlands Engagements

Are you planning the ultimate surprise for your girlfriend or boyfriend – a proposal!? This is a HUGE moment and you want everything to be absolutely perfect. From the setting, to the set up, to capturing the exact moment for sharing with family and friends, it has to be planned perfectly. When hiring a photographer to photograph the big moment, here are some very important things to consider, how to plan, and questions to ask.

EXPERIENCE
Has the photographer ever photographed a proposal before? Ask to see examples of their work, to be sure they’re capturing the moment the way you want/expect. Are they going to be able to know where exactly to stand, and have the right equipment? An experienced photographer can read the moment, and be ready to shoot when the time is right. Take the advice of your photographer on the best place to stand, so you get the best possible shots.

LOCATION
Choosing the right location at the right time of day is key, because you want to be able to share photographs that are not only emotional (content) but beautiful (professionally framed and shot). Be sure your photographer knows *exactly* what each location you are considering looks like at different hours of the day.

Too much sunshine at noon? Then consider moving the location, or the time of day to later in the evening for better light. Too crowded in the evening? Maybe shoot earlier, and avoid the evening crowd. Make sure your photographer knows this location well, and it is an appropriate setting to pop the question, and that it makes sense for you to be there. A spot near restaurants makes sense, as a cover for why you’re there all dressed up. Ask your photographer for the best possible locations, without distractions, that will have good light at the time you want to propose.

SET UP
If you choose a more quiet location such as a park, you can set up a little surprise before hand. I’ve had clients use signs, a picnic basket with champagne, a trail of of rose petals (careful of wind!), bouquets of flowers, and balloons to mark the spot.

Your photographer should be there before you, and can help make sure the spot doesn’t get spoiled by passersby or the wind. You want it perfect for when your intended sees it! Make sure to ask your photographer if they can help secure the location before hand, and be there early.

A RUSE
You want the proposal to be a surprise, so you’ll need some help with the ruse! Enlist the help of your family and friends, to keep your soon-to-be-fiance in the dark.

She’ll want her hands looking Instagram ready, so have a sister or friend take her out for a manicure. Book a restaurant, so she’ll have a reason to dress up with make up. You could also say you booked a photographer for birthday/holiday/anniversay/V-Day photos, and this helps explain why there is a photographer waiting at the spot! Or your photographer can discretely hide, and then pop out when the moment arrives.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PHOTO PACKAGE
There are many different kinds of sessions that photographers offer. Make sure the session package you are choosing will get you enough photos to actually have a good sense of the event.

Most photographers offer full sessions (usually $750-$1200) with a lot of digital images, as well as print options. Some also offer mini sessions for under $400 – but watch the fine print to see how many photos you get. Some offer as little as 3 digital images for that price point.

I offer a perfect little mini session that gives you great coverage of this exciting event, for a lower price point than full sessions. Click here to check out my Mini Session Deal!

Surprise Proposal – A Love Story

These are hands down one of my fave types of sessions to shoot! The planning, the choices, the perfect location, and the nerves… all build up to that beautiful moment where one puts their heart on the line and asks that one special someone to be theirs forever.

This young man contacted me for help on proposing to his girlfriend, to photograph the moment that they’ll cherish forever. Mom and sister were on hand to set up the scenery with her favourite flowers (and stood by ready to jump out from behind the trees afterwards!). She was suitably surprised and, tears in her eyes, said YES! Such a happy moment, thanks for inviting me to be a part of your special moment.

Many happy years together!

Save the Date ! The Woodlands Engagement Photographer

Engagement portraits are one of my favourite kinds of sessions to shoot, and what’s not to love!? Two people so crazy about each other they want to spend their lives together, so excited for their upcoming wedding, all happiness and beautiful smiles. Just being around a couple in love makes the world more fresh and alive, like warm sunshine and lemonade on a summer’s day.

If you’re making the big announcement soon, or are already ready to send out those Save The Date cards, you’ll want some beautiful images of the two of you that capture your relationship and tells your love story. You want people to see your engagement photos and instantly recognize your personalities shining through.  When you book your engagement session, we’ll discuss what makes your love story  unique, and how we can capture your special relationship in pictures.

The location in the Woodlands, Spring, Magnolia or Conroe area we choose will set the stage for the tone you want for your engagement pictures, whether romantic and dreamy, upbeat, or country chic.

Woodlands, Spring and Conroe Photographer 2013 in Review

I want to take this opportunity to thank all my fabulous clients from 2013 for making it a really stellar year!! I had the opportunity to meet some amazing families, couples, children and high school seniors  as well as local artists and business people for headshots and I truly enjoyed working with all of you. Thank you for making 2013 a wonderful year, and I look forward to seeing you again, and meeting my new 2014 clients.

Here are the highlights from the year. In 2013 I had two of my images accepted into juried shows, saw my work featured on several fantastic websites devoted to inspirational photography, was honoured to be interviewed for a few online blogs for senior photography and film work, developed dozens of rolls of film,  saw two Ron Burgundy impersonations from hilarious clients, lost countless lens caps, and spotted about a hundred deer in the woods. Pretty good year, in all.

Can’t wait to see what this year brings!

The Woodlands Engagement Photographer

I had SUCH fun at this session! Super cute couple, willing to let me play with all my funny lenses and film cameras, plus I made them trek all over the area and they never grumbled but made it all fun. The rain came out in a fine mist off and on, but they soldiered on through that too! Big big share from this session, since they were oh so fun to pose!

One thing I love about shooting engagement couples, maternity and seniors is how I get to take my time and play with some specialty lenses I can use with still subjects. Love this lens! No photoshop magic here!

A little engagement portrait preview for this beautiful (and really fun!) couple who are getting married in just a few short weeks! It was an honour to do their engagement portraits here in Spring, and thankfully the rain wasn’t too bad – we kept our eye on the weather for weeks, hoping not to get a total rain out! Lovely couple, I can’t wait to get the rest of their gallery together!

This one just looked right to me as an 8×10 ratio. A crop can change the feel of an image!
