Duet: Tiramisu

My last session in Washington DC was with a lovely lady I call Mrs. Tiramisu, not because she really likes the dessert (although I’m guessing she wouldn’t turn it down if you offered it to her), but because she wrote for the site Weddingbee with me. I’m Mrs. Avocado, she’s Mrs. Tiramisu, and together we’re two wedding-loving slightly nerdy girls who giggle and squee at the chance to meet in person. I was flattered when the lovely Tiramisu family asked me to do some pictures with them on a Saturday evening in downtown DC.

The shot featured both the Tiramisus and some of their extended family.

and a momma with another one on the way.

But because my business doesn’t focus on family and kids I’m going spend most of this post showing you shots from my time spent exclusively with Mr. and Mrs. Tiramisu. After a whole year of marriage they’re still giddy in love, my favorite type of love to photograph.

I like men who aren’t afraid to let me get right in their face for a shot I have in mind.

We did these photos in the gardens behind the Smithsonian. It was free (my favorite kind of location to use) and full of nooks and crannies that let us get creative.

THAT SHOT!

A little bit of fun with reflections. If you’re going to do something similar at your own shoot (whether you are the photographer or the subject) remember to make your pose as dramatic as possible.

I try to get individual shots of all of my subjects. Facebook, Twitter, Blogging… who doesn’t want a professional headshot of themselves for one reason or another today?

Basic Edit:

Fine Art Edit:

The light at the end of our session was absolutely fantastic. I’m particularly pleased with those killer expressions on the left, given with hardly any prompting from me.

Emily and Liam I had a fantastic time with the two of you. The purple dress was the perfect wardrobe choice (I believe we have Cupcake to thank for that?) and I really didn’t want this shoot to end. I hope we find a way to meet up again soon!

Best,

Jenna
