Summer Adventures with Marie
By Robert Taylor
Marie's summer portrait session celebrated her free-spirited personality through vibrant, motion-filled images. We incorporated props that reflected her hobbies - a vintage bicycle, watercolor paints, and a picnic setup - creating natural contexts for authentic expressions. The session flowed from active shots (running through sunflower fields) to quiet moments (reading in dappled shade).


Key technical aspects included using polarizing filters to enhance blue skies, selecting complementary color palettes for her outfits against the landscapes, and experimenting with lens flare for that quintessential summer glow. The standout action shot of Marie jumping into a lake required precise timing and a waterproof housing for the secondary camera angle.
