I’ve done a couple of photoshoots with women for my She Is Beautiful Project.  This is a personal project in which I am photographing women of all ages, but in particular over the age of 40, to show that all women are beautiful.  These women are not professional models and most do not feel comfortable in front of the camera.

The above photo is a classic example.  This is a woman whom I have known for several years as a fellow photographer.  She is a great photographer and is not afraid to get dirty.  However, as many photogs, she does not feel comfortable in front of the camera.  I think you would agree, that she should be.

Here’s another example.  I have known this woman for several years and she told me that she did not feel comfortable in front of the camera.  She said she never takes good photos.  I beg to differ. The above photo was a test photo.  She brought her dog along for comfort.  They have a beautiful relationship and just having the dog present at the photo shoot made her feel more comfortable.  So, by the time the photo shoot was coming to an end, she was posing like this:

She is beautiful.

I was invited by a local church to give a presentation on Everyday Posing for women.  This was right up my alley because I believe every woman is beautiful, but they just don’t know how to show it.  Along with my presentation, I showed the following video.  I hope you enjoy it.

This is my girlfriend and her husband and two of her four dogs.  She is a very special person to me because I have known her since we were born.  Our fathers grew up together and they were best friends.  Our families built a cabin together at Lake Tahoe which we shared for many years.  I’ve known her longer than any other living person. I even got to photograph her daughter’s wedding.  Pretty amazing to have a friend like this.

I am constantly trying to learn new things and practice techniques that I have not quite mastered, so I regularly attend photography classes, workshops and the like.  Lighting Asylum is one of my favorite workshops.  They are always fun, I frequently know many of the photogs and models who attend and I walk away with some great images and new knowledge.  Here’s a video of what it’s like to go to a workshop.

She is beautiful, isn’t she?

I’ve been wanting to photograph some of my girl friends for a few years and during our annual girl’s getaway retreat in Tahoe earlier this month, I got my chance.  I’ve also wanted to provide beautiful photos to women who haven’t had a decent photo of themselves in years…maybe since they got married…or even since High School.

Most women over 45 or so, stop enjoying having their photo taken.  Why?  Maybe they don’t feel as beautiful as they once did for whatever reason.  Maybe they have seen too many IPhone snapshots that friends have taken and conclude that they don’t look beautiful in those photos, so they “never take good photos.”  (I hear that comment a lot.)

I told my friends that they didn’t have to do this, but that I really, really wanted to give them a beautiful photo of themselves.  So, they allowed me the honor of providing them with some beautiful photos.  I told them “If you could see what I see”, you wouldn’t even hesitate.

I shot these photos over two days of gorgeous fall weather in beautiful South Lake Tahoe.  It was such an honor for me to be able to do this.

And so, I continue to try to provide photographs to women who have not had a great photo of themselves in a long time because I want to remind them that they are beautiful.

Last, but not least, my long time friend (we’ve known each other since birth) allowed me to take her photo the other day when I was over at her house getting some photos of her and her husband. And…

Yes, they are beautiful.

If you are planning a wedding in the El Dorado County, CA, area or even the Greater Sacramento Area, I would love it if you would consider my services for your photography.

I would love to send you a copy of my 2014/15 wedding magazine.  It’s a PDF, so you can view right on your computer/ipad/iphone.

I love weddings and I have several packages that should suit most needs.  But, I am also willing to customize a photography package to suit the individual needs.  I know weddings are expensive and I strongly believe that every bride and groom should have beautiful pictures of their wedding day, because when the last of the guests leave the party, the food has been eaten, the toasts are toasted, all that you have to remember the day is the pictures. So, I am very willing to work with you and your budget so you will have photos to remember your day.Shot list

Shot list

We like to make sure you get the pictures you want, so we will send you a shot list.  We will also work with your wedding planner or DJ to make sure we are aware of when the big events take place.

Engaged!

Engaged!

Most of our packages come with a free engagement session.  You can also add it on a la carte for a reasonable fee.  We always love these sessions because we can get to know both of you, give you some tips on posing and provide you with some great photos to use for Save-The-Date cards, Guest Book, Thank you cards, or making prints to place around the wedding event venue.

So, if you are planning a wedding and are interested in our photography services, please drop us an email at seirraspringsphotography@comcast.net and we’ll be in touch.
