Fresh Ideas and People Needed

Going through Pinterest a lot and I see many ideas for creative photography that I have wanted to attempt but no one to do them with.  This is where I am asking my fans to step out of their comfort zone and let me do more of a "themed" shoot with them.

So here is my request...if you see a photo that I have posted below that you would be willing to do with me....please message me via email valerieadamsphotography@gmail.com or you can message me on facebook.com/valerieadamsphotography as well.

My first vote for someone to do is a "Trash the Dress" theme...it doesn't even have to be your actual wedding dress.  You can get one a Goodwill for really cheap and then we can get it dirty and wet and paint on it. These have always been one of my favorite types of photoshoots yet no one ever wants to do it.



Staying on the subject of getting messy, my next request would be for any 2 people in love to have a paint war with me!! It could be engagement, families, friends, it really doesn't matter who as long as we are clean in the beginning and messy in the end.



With me loving water so much, I had to get an underwater digital camera. I use it mostly for going on adventures on the lakes or rivers to take water pictures and it helps that in case I just so happen to drop it. LOL  One thing that I have tried doing in the past with my friend Kayla was taking an underwater session where she was wearing a flowing dress.  I would love to try doing that again with more props or even a couple who wants to get a little passionate underwater. :)




I have a couple friend who are very into dancing.  One of these days my friend Jenn and I are going to dress her up in one of her costumes and we are just going to let her go dancing down the streets and in the middle of nowhere to capture shots like these.  



Which brings me to my next request which is a "country girl" themed shoot.  Where I am literally just hanging out on the farm with a girl who is dressed the part.  These won't be posed positions though and most of them won't even show her face rather than her actions and different parts of her.




I also want to be a part in a special announcement picture. You see it when someone is announcing their engagement or a new baby or even what the sex of the baby is going to be.  I want someone to come to me with exciting big news that they want to display in a picture.




I have always enjoyed using lots of props during photoshoots but the one prop I have yet to use is balloons. Let's get this party started!!



Does anyone have a pet in mind for a photoshoot? Dogs, cats, gerbils, foxes, lizards?? I am excluding ducks cows, and horses as I am always taking pictures of those on our farm. 


Painting with light is always hard and I have had to do it in the past by myself by setting up the timer on my camera and then running with a light to form a word.  I would like more people involved please to play with some lights or sparklers with me in the dark.


Who wants to dress their baby up??? Maybe even as what their parents do for a living? Firefighters, cowboys, farmers, police officers, military??



Like I said before, feel free to let me know if you are interested in doing any of these shoots.  I love taking volunteers who love to have their picture taken. Love you all!!

Kyle & Kasey E-Session

I have known Kasey for awhile through friends and hanging out in Convoy a lot at the Tavern.  She is a beautiful girl inside and out and now she is settling down with her best friend and loving fiance Kyle for a wedding come September 2013.

Kyle and Kasey met through high school and they both graduated Wayne Trace in 2005.  They were not together then though...they started dating back in January of 2012 and recently got engaged.  Even after knowing each other their whole lives, they have fallen in love after really getting to know each other.

We went on a walk through downtown Van Wert and also to the park.  Here are some of my favorites.









SAVE THE DATE 9-14-13










    



   




Congrats to the both of you and thank you so much for letting me share in this special occasion.  I cannot wait to capture your wedding day!!

Jenna & Craig - Palte Wedding

I love "themed" weddings.  Jenna loves peacocks.  Put the two together and I was one happy photographer for the wedding of Craig Palte and Jenna Kreischer.  They had a beautiful wedding surrounded by loved ones and peacock feathers.  The wedding party was a blast to hang out with all day and I'm glad I got to partake in this special wedding for the two "lovebirds".

Here are some of my favorites...and because they did not want to see each other before the wedding they got close to a door where they held hands but didn't peak at each other.  To see Jenna so happy that she teared up holding her grooms hand was amazing.
















             


              




What a fun group...thank you Jenna & Craig for letting me partake in your special day and congrats!!
