Ernest and Elsie wanted to do something a bit different for their photos, so we bused out my studio lights for this fashionable editorial engagement session. I’ve never experimented with my Alien Bees lights for a couple’s session. So it was super fun to get to do something out of my usual routine. As much as I love my typical natural-light-in-a-golden-field style engagements, it’s nice to get back to my strobe lighting roots.

Not only that, but having nothing but my subjects in front of me really helped up the intimacy. Without a forest or mountain overlook, the real focus became these two and their connection with each other. As it should be!
