This was such a fun session I’m actually dividing the post into two because I can’t fit all the photos in one, there are so many. If you’re a couple I’ve worked with that hasn’t gotten two full posts, don’t feel bad — with Keri and Christian we ended up shooting for way longer than normal since we walked like 10 miles down the beach…and Keri is freakishly good in front of the camera. She had this amazing ability to be totally natural and smiley without looking cheesy. Plus, she’s gorgeous. They met my mother in law after the session and she couldn’t stop gushing about what a cute couple they are and how Keri, “parece una munequita!” (She looks like a little doll).

And Christian rocked it like a GQ model once he got warmed a little. :) He told us he was nervous in the beginning so we had to work a little to get him loosened up — note to clients: If you’re nervous, just tell me! I’d so much rather know than just keep going through the session assuming that you’re comfortable with everything we’re doing. Once I explained to Christian that he didn’t have to be looking at the camera the whole time, and once I showed him on my camera screen how a couple of the photos were coming out, he started trusting my photography insanity (Stand here! Lay down in the dirt! Stare directly into the burning sun! Sit by this crumbling building on a bed of nails!). As I told Christian and Keri, I pose people in spots where the light is good, or where there’s something cool to use as a backdrop or where I can get a really cool angle. But within that, talk to each other, hang out, make out do what you want. All I’m doing is putting you within the photographic parameters that will make you look good while you’re doing your thing.

Keri laughs so easily, she could charm the pants off of a angry mountain bear.

This is their thing. After they eat Christian always lifts Keri up like this…and then maybe almost drops her? Haha, I don’t know, but she got nervous when we were going to take this shot on concrete!

  1. Okay I'm 100% convinced on Algarrobo! This photo shoot is absolutely stunning! I love it! What an adorable couple too! You're totally right about Keri's smile. I love the diversity in the shoot: the ocean, the rocks, the village. It's great! I LOVE the last two photos…and the one with Keri smiling radiantly, and the one where Christian is carrying her, and…heck I love them all!!!

  16. I am christian best friend, and I know he had a good time and realy enjoy the session. Its all about winning nice moments with your cupple. When I see the happy face of Kerry y realize that the session was perfect. I think the best one is the one that he is in the front and kerry in the back, he look natural, as saying: “My girl is happy, so I am too…”CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEAM AND TO THE COUPPLE!
