Hi all. My blog posting frequency has been pretty low during the past couple of weeks. I guess I was enjoying the holidays with my family instead of sitting at my computer. Actually I did do some work on the website in the past couple of weeks. I added a “photo galleries” page to the website.

Right now there is one gallery called “Cat & Aury: Engagement”. It contains about 40 photos from Cat & Aury’s engagement session. In the future I plan to add more galleries when I do photo shoots.

You can find a link to the photo galleries page on the menu, at the top right of every page. Here’s a direct link to the cat & aury gallery.

And here’s a new photo from the gallery.

Even more Cat and Aury

Today we continue the Cat and Aury saga with a couple of vintage style photos from our engagement session the other day. We took all these photos over at the Eckart castle in Eindhoven. It’s more like a mansion than a castel actually but it’s a beautiful location.

More Cat and Aury

I’m posting some more photos of the session I did with Cat and Aury yesterday. I learned a lot during the shoot by the way. One of the things I noticed is that the photos I like most are the ones which look least like they are posed. So, next time I’m going to try and get more “action” photos. I also noticed I took a lot of full body and facial shots but hardly any detail shots. I’ll need to do some more variety in that department in the future as well.

But, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I had a blast yesterday. It was lots of fun and the fact that I learned from the experience makes it even more fun. Here are some of my favorite shots. Enjoy.

Cat and Aury

I shot my first ever “engagement session” today, with Aury and Cat, in some really appalling conditions. The temperature was -2 °C (28 F) and we had a little bit of snow now and then. We were out at our location for about an hour. By the end of that hour my fingers were so cold that I almost couldn’t push the shutter button on my camera anymore. I’m not kidding, it was cold! But, hats off to Aury and Cat they were posing without their coats on and made it look like it was mild spring day. They rock!

I had a blast during the photo shoot by the way. It was lots of fun to boss my friends Cat and Aury around. No, I’m kidding, they were great. They smiled, they laughed, the were lots of fun to be around.

I’ll post two photo’s from the shoot today and then in the next couple of days to come I’ll post some more of my favorites.
