Reduced to Feeling

A black and white forest engagement portrait where branches, shadow, and a seated couple create a private little frame.

Taking colour away changes the weight of a portrait.

Trees give people cover. The photograph can feel observed without feeling exposed, which is often exactly what a couple needs at the beginning of a session.

For Alberta engagement photography and couples sessions, I look for simple direction, honest posture, and locations that help people feel like themselves rather than like they are performing for a camera.
