Fall Couples Photoshoot with Lilly & Sasho

Back in the fall I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with one of my favorite couples - my close friend Lilly and her man Sasho. It's always wonderful to see two people in love, and it was even better this time because it involved people that I care about. I have always been a sucker for romance, so I jumped on the chance to photograph them with the beautiful fall foliage of South Park in Sofia as a backdrop. 

I like South Park as a photo shoot location because it has beautiful ponds and a variety of trees that make for an interesting setting. A few years ago I did another couple's photo shoot there (read more about it here), but while that one was in the spring and featured a lot of blooming trees, this one was all about the red and gold colors of October. I never got around to posting them last year, but I came across them last night, so I thought I'd share.

I am available for couples sessions, so feel free to contact me if you'd like to request one. Enjoy some of the photos from this beautiful fall shoot!

Fall Botanical Photos

I promised the customary fall botanical photos, and here they are. I have to admit, I find rose hip particularly fascinating this time of year. Every fall I go crazy shooting rose hip, but I just can't help it. It's so interesting with its red fruit and colorful leaves, and it usually makes for a great bokeh background. Something new I found this year was this gorgeous yellow fern, which had such a bold and shining color. I like different things about the different seasons, and the thing I like best about the fall is the amazing color.  Greenish yellow, gold, warm orange, fiery red, crimson with hints of purple, vermillion and warm brown, coupled with shiny blue sky - wow!

Flying in the Fall

Since my last post that involved whining about the weather turning bad, we've had very nice weather. I went to a photography trip this weekend to the Rhodope mountains with a bunch of other photographers, and we had amazing weather. In fact, we got to fly on a motor hang glider and take photos from above. I mean, wow! Here is just a quick sneak peak; expect more photos later this week.
Oh and this is actually my 100th post! Yey me!

TWO FALL PORTRAITS

I just wanted to share these two lovely portraits that Pavel took of me a few weeks ago in the park - I really love the fall colors. They are so beautiful to photograph.

FIRST FALL PHOTOS FOR THIS YEAR!

It's fall, an awesome season to photograph! I took some time last weekend (even though it was very cold) to take some photos in the park. I also wanted to try out a Lensbaby Control Freak lens that I borrowed, so my shutter button finger was itching :) Here are some of my photos below; they are my experiments with the Lensbaby and with my own lenses. I love shooting rose hip :)
