Yesterday was an extremely bright day, but Ali and I made the most of the light that we had and shot some photos of one of her best friends. Melanie and her fiance Mike are tremendous people who are an absolute joy to be around. We made the short drive out to Cedar Creek in Olathe and a quick stop by the Nelson Adkins museum near the plaza in KC for their photos. We were going for simplicity with this couple. I didn’t want a ton of posed photos as I tend to start posing people instead of letting them create the magic. For most of these shots, I threw a beauty dish a few feet away with a Canon 580EXII and battery pack and I sat back 20 yards or so with my Canon 5D Mark II and 200mm F.20 IS lens. This allowed them a bit of intimate privacy and allowed me to shoot without feeling like I was encroaching on their moments together. All in all I think they turned out great and look forward to shooting the wedding this summer. I’m nearly one month out of Jaw surgery and recovering nicely. The swelling is probably 80% gone and I’m beginning to experiment with some soft foods. In three weeks from now I will be released to eat most anything. It’s been very difficult to speak these past few weeks but my patients have been very understanding. I’ve nearly completed all three of the physical required to enter our outpatient clinic at Cleveland Chiropractic College so I should be available to the general public by the beginning of next week. This is an exciting time as I will begin making preparations for my final transition to becoming a doctor of chiropractic. The weather is beautiful people, enjoy the day! -Barnezy-
