First off I want to say a huge congratulations to Doctor Emma for earning her doctorate! We had so much fun on this session. This goes over a little bit of the process of us working together and what happens when working with me!
Pre-session
Faylyn and I spoke on the phone about getting imagery of her when she was going to graduate with her doctorate. We spoke about the different shots and where she wanted to go during the session. We talked about 5 different locations on the University of Florida campus and about the lighting challenges we would face shooting into the night. Faylyn knew which areas were more open and would let in more light and which areas would be a bit more challenging as we progressed into the night and we planned our route accordingly. She also wanted us to end where all the bats come out at night! She thought I would find it fascinating and I did! Her main goal for the photography session was documenting this time and having printed images with the proof box.
The Session
We met late in the afternoon and headed over to the campus! She guided me through the school to the various locations. Her family came with us as well. We stopped by the tower, the bull, the stadium, some other areas, and ended by the bats. We had tons of fun and giggled throughout the session. Our main concern was rain and losing the light, however, we never saw a drop of rain and we switched to on camera flash as we lost the light giving her photos a completely different feel!
Post-session
About 2 and half weeks later we met online for the design and ordering session. We knew prior to our meeting we were going to be looking for 10 images to print and an image for the front of her proof box. First, we took time to enjoy the images with the picture video presentation. Afterwards we went through and picked out the images she wanted to have for her keepsakes. She liked a lot of them and purchased some additional prints. We both had tons of fun and enjoyed working with each other!
