French Creek


In the fall, we planned to go out to Cascade again, but the weather wasn't in our favor, so we decided to try somewhere closer to home.  We ended up at French Creek Nature Center.



For this shoot we tried out some classic portrait poses and tested out new techniques.




Not to mention we had fun with all of the leaves.



This time we shot almost completely in manual mode, it was a lot of fun to see how much we've improved our photography skills since the first time we went to Cascade.



The colors of fall were fading by then but some of the trees were still really vibrant.

I had to climb on the railing to get this shot looking back at Isabel.




We experimented with poses sitting down and laying on the ground as well as shooting from different angles.



All the moving around on the ground ensured that we were covered in leaves by the time we stood up.




We discovered the bridge was our favorite location as there were many pose options.




This shoot was all about trying out new things, learning the settings, and practicing portrait photography.  While it was meant to be a learning experience we managed to have a lot of fun anyway.
