Wedding Season is officially here in Virginia and we have been busy, busy, busy. I know we haven’t been updating the blog regularly but we have been updating our Facebook Fan Page with loads of new images in content. I would like to invite you to become our fan there so you can stay up to date on everything we are doing. Join our facebook at the following link Brandon Boswell Photography Facebook Fan Page.
Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching and what better gift than a personal fusion photoshoot of you and your loved one. What’s even better is that this photoshoot is FREE if you book your wedding with us by February 28th, 2010! That is a $399 value!
Have you checked out Fusion yet? This new product is a mixture of the beautiful still photos you have always dreamed of and video interviews of the future bride and groom. We ask things such as “How did you meet”, “What do you love most about each other” and “How did he propose”. We integrate clips of the interviews with a slideshow of the still images and background music.
Fusion is brand new and we are the only photography business in the Richmond area currently offering this. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to capture the memories of your engagement in a totally different way. Show your Fusion video at your wedding reception or during your cocktail hour for a unique and personal addition to your wedding. Your guests will love it. You can find an example of Fusion at www.brandonboswellphoto.com.
Our picture today is of beautiful Me’Shel! Me’Shel is a friend of Brandon’s who recently asked us to do a headshot of her for a pageant. Brandon was able to schedule her within the same week by squeezing her into our busy schedule. We didn’t need much time. We actually shot this, retouched it and sent it to her today! She is extremely photogenic to begin with which makes retouching much easier. We love this shot because it’s genuine. Me’Shel’s personality shows through beautifully. We have confidence that this photo will represent her well at the pageant and we are excited to be a part of it!
In light of wonderful reception of our recent shoot on New Years Eve. We have decided to begin offering Children’s photography. Pricing information is attached and if you have any questions or comments we would love to hear them.
New Years came and went this year and we found ourselves babysitting our wonderful nieces. Brandon and I have no real practical experience with watching children but my brother really needed someone to watch his two girls because they had New Years plans. Being the good sister that I am, I obliged.
The most challenging part of the whole experience was finding ways to keep a 5 year old and a 7 month old busy. We had an entire night in New Kent Virginia (lets face it guys, there aren’t a lot of options) to entertain two young children. I thought that we could have fun taking some pictures of the girls. So I told Tabitha (5) that we could give her some cool makeup and take pictures to show her parents. The moment that I said the word “makeup” her eyes lit up! Makeup on a 5 year old is easy. No need for foundation or cover-up, her skin is flawless to begin with. I dusted some blush on her cheeks and gave her some purple eyeshadow along with some pink lip gloss. She loved it!
We set up a mini photoshoot on her bed (I liked how colorful it was). Then we took cute little Mia (7 months) and got some pictures of her on the bed as well. We like the “high key” effect on Mia’s black and white photos. By the way, for all you new mothers out there, 6-8 months is a great time to get baby photos. At this point they are likely sitting up on their own and may be able to maneuver around a bit for some awesome shots! Mia has big beautiful eyes which was easy to capture in her photos. Enjoy!
Two Posts in one day? I know that never happens, but today it does. Marshie and I were testing our new time lapse photography that we plan to start using at upcoming weddings and the output turned out really great. Check this out, coming to a wedding near you.
It’s been a few weeks since we’ve posted but we’re back. The above photo is from our Thanksgiving forays to West Point, VA. The color on the waterfront turned out absolutely gorgeous, if only there was a bride and groom in this picture. Calling all brides, the Pamunkey river is a beautiful place to have your wedding .
Today’s image is from a wedding we did in Hanover, VA earlier this year. I was able to accomplish this shot with my 24-70L shooting individual shots and then stitching them together for this wide panorama. I love how the shot captures the whole room and I also love the depth of light that the windows add to the shot.
