Valentines bokeh

Valentines day is right around the corner. For the both of us… we’ve done chocolates, cards, flowers and many sentimental dinner dates… but the one thing missing has always been a special Valentine’s portrait. So what the heck… since our new year’s resolution was to take more photos of “us”, here we are messin’ around… ummm with our photography gear!!

This year, if you are looking for a special gift for each other… why not a Valentine’s Portrait session. You’ll both enjoy the afternoon and have beautiful photos to remember it by. Contact us for our very affordable rates. =)

Update: This was a sneak peek to our Valentine’s portrait.. take a look at another version of our “floating hearts” theme. icon wink Valentines bokeh

BTS:

A while back we had bought the Bokeh Masters kit ($25). It’s been sitting in our photography drawer for quite some time… until this shoot. The hearts you see are actual bokeh hearts straight out of the camera, not photoshopped hearts. With the Bokeh Masters kit, you can change the shape of the usually round defocused background lights into whatever you want; all you need then are pretty lights (we used Christmas lights), a little bit of creativity and a tripod if no one is willing to take a photo of you. ;p

      @Tina,
      We try to make it out to the midwest at least once a year. Usually around summer / fall. We’ll post up our trip info on this site once planned out. ;)

One Trackback

  1. By Gear: Nikon’s new 85mm f/1.8G lens! – ;prettyGeeky on Thursday, February 16th 2012, at 10:04 pm

    [...] Another great use of “bokeh” is to render background lights into nice round circles. For example, in the rooftop photos from our LA jewelry shoot, we used the 85mm f/1.4 to render the background city lights into a cool circular mosaic backdrop. But you don’t need an amazing helicopter rooftop as a backdrop, you can create fun lights with a simple swimming pool as in this older nightime bokeh session of ours or this Valentines portrait. [...]
