Let's talk location. I live in a very very rural area, unfortunately. I love being out of town where everything is quiet, but it gives you very very limited options for style. For this reason, most of my shoots have been pretty outdoorsy. It's either rustic or southern, and it's almost always outside. For this shoot, I decided to step out of the box a little bit. I have always been a little afraid of shooting in the woods because the light is often patchy and it leaves heavy shadow on my clients' faces. On this day, though, we ran out of options and I decided to go with it. I took Kiersten and Tyler out to the woods behind our house with a blanket and decided to work with what we had. I love how the edit makes everything look super moody. The bright colors on the blanket create a beautiful contrast with the dark, wintry environment around them. It also doesn't hurt that they are the cutest couple ever.
