Starting in late July of this year my wife Amanda & I started doing some test shots for fun. This has turned into a weekly excercise for us, and has become the highlight of my year! Each week we challenged ourselves to come up with a new look.
For Amanda, it was about expressing herself through creating different wardrobe and makeup ideas, as well as practicing different posing/modeling techniques. For myself, it was about pushing my skills to come up with different and unique lighting for each setup, and to work on improving my retouching/post processing abilities. Although we already spend the majority of our time together, taking the extra time to do these photo shoots has brought us even closer, and made a pandemic year a little less gloomy.
These are our 10 favorite shots we did this year! We hope to continue shooting on a weekly basis, and get to produce a number of new, fun portraits to share next year.
