It was sunny and cool last Friday, when Kim and I met up with Kristi and Frank in Palo Alto. And all I can say is WOW! We had such an amazing time! Besides being easy on the eyes, these two brought some real fire to our session-- it was fantastic!
We started out on the Palo Alto Bay Lands.The wind was whipping, but Kristi and Frank were great sports, diving right in to our session.
N: We climbed through a field of licorice plants for this next set. Kim sets up this shoot in full sun...
...while I'm shooting from behind, into the sun.
K: I love the shot above. It has such a "not an engagement shoot" feel to it. To me it feels like we are trekking through the jungle and they don't quite know where they are, but they are going to be beautiful while they search for there way home... ha ha my imagination some times gets away from me.
N: I love this shot. Frank and Kristi could tell a love story with just their hands!
We left the wetlands, and headed downtown. We just strolled, stopping every time we spotted something cool or interesting.
K: Kristi and Frank brought so much to this shoot. We often would put them into a pose and without any direction they brought a sense of high fashion to the image.
N: I love all the texture and subtle colors of this location. Kristi's scarf picked up all the blue and grey colors in the peeling paint.
K: I swear I kept thinking we could be doing a photoshoot with professional models!
K: Love this fruit stand. This was a pretty busy street and as much as we try to stay on the down low... we sure did stop traffic in this location. I love that they were willing to sit in the street where cars were coming and going with force!
N:What great sports! How many people will lie down on the sidewalk for you?
K: And look so cool doing it.. and kiss!
N: This is one of those unexpected surprises that happen when we go strolling-- we discovered this train station elevator, and got inspired by the windows in the frosted glass. Of course, Frank and Kristi brought just the right attitude to make it all work!
This was taken in the bicycle under pass...
K: As usual I was laying on the ground for may of these shots... and I was SURE I was going to get run over! Niki would say "Okay I'll watch for bikes so no worries get your shot"... and then she would get inspired by Kristi and Frank and start shooting and forget to watch! HA HA! Luckily I still have all my limbs.
N: Kim sets up the off camera flash for some added drama. Very cool!
All I can say is this session was so inspirational. Niki and I left saying to each other.. "EVERYTHING we shot was so good !" It has everything to do with Kristi and Franks willingness to really give themselves to us without reservation. It also helped that Kristi looks like model! Both Kristi and Frank had a fire in them that came roaring through the camera.
Kristi and Frank thank you so much for one of the best sessions!
We can't wait for your wedding.
xoxo
