Had a really fun e-session at the California state capitol building last month. Great couple who was willing to do whatever I asked - gotta love that!

haah! These are great! Certainly what I would want with my wife. Not jsut the regular pose and smile, kiss etc. These look like a lot of fun! Very creative!

In that last shot, you got some "sun rays" Care to explain how that was done?

LOVE the kissing faces. It took me a second to find the faces in the tile behind them! Love the sunflare on the last one too.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner - I didn't notice the question until just now...

The "sun rays" were mostly a happy accident with just a bit of planning - they tend to happen when you shoot with the sun in the frame, but hidden behind foliage - but not completely hidden. It takes just the right combination of air quality, direction of sunlight and lens angle. I've gotten the effect a few times, and I sometimes "try for it" but I can't always reproduce it at will. There's not much PP on the photo - just a bit of sharpening and contrast enhancement to bring out the rays a bit more.
