Casey and Derek: A Midtown Engagement

by maddiemoree | Mar 30, 2016 | Engagements, Featured

Hey there, world!

I have a new Midtown engagement session to show you!

Meet Casey and Derek!

Casey and Derek are possibly the most athletic people I have met…in my life! 12 hour races, 6 min miles…for a marathon. It doesn’t really compare to my uhhh 45 min kickboxing class… When Casey mentioned she wanted to incorporate running into the photography, I was really excited to try something completely different and show what they are really about! Look, I even came up with a hashtag for them! #loverunsdeep Booya! Well, actually my husband came up with it, but what’s his is mine, eh?

We started this session at an awesome mural off of Cooper and Peabody! Now murals can sometimes be difficult to start at because the couple isn’t that warmed up to the camera yet. You definitely have to start with more posing, less natural movement. But not this time! Boom. They were ready to go, nbd, y’all! Additionally, it was on the side of a gym, which was really fitting! Lol!

Super fun, laid back, goofy…and definitely in love! So here we go.

I just love Casey’s expression looking at Derek.

Ok, from Overton Square, we went to Overton Park! It was pretty busy, but we had the trails pretty much to ourselves! I love shooting at this park and finding new spots to hit!

I know Derek and Casey were hoping for a more “lush” area, but we still got some green! πŸ˜‰

I loved this one. Sometimes Derek would put his hand under her chin and bring her in for a kiss. It was so sweet….. πŸ™‚

So then we switched into running gear. This was definitely their element! We even got a little sun peeking through on what was originally an overcast day. As if the heavens were saying, “Run, Derek and Casey! Run like the wind!” lol

Can’t wait for their wedding in October! I know it will be as fun as their engagement session!

Till next time!

I'm not going to lie. I used to really shit on ph I'm not going to lie.

I used to really shit on phone photos. Maybe it's the photographer snob in me. Or it's just the ehhh photo quality phone cameras had 5+ years ago. Or I'm just mellowing in my old age (doubtful).

But I'll be the first to tell you. I've changed my mind!

You know, not everyone wants to carry around a big, expensive, heavy camera every time they leave the house in case they come across something β€œphoto-worthy.” Weird right?! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

But you know what you DO carry around all the time, that's not heavy, usually fits in your purse, AND takes pretty ok photos?

Yeah. You know where I'm going with this.πŸ“±

Your phone is a business owner's best friend. And on top of it being your life line and connection to your customers and the world...it's the world's most practical camera.πŸ“·

Now I'm not going to say your phone is going to take as good of photos as a professional camera and lens worth thousands of dollars. It's not. Please. Don't kid yourself.πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

But your phone is easy. Easy to learn, easy to use. When you understand HOW to set your camera phone up for success...it can take a pretty damn good photo.

And I'm going to teach you how.

Join me and our video expert, Heather Hukari with @phonevideo101 , THIS weekend for a 2.5 hour workshop on how to take photos AND videos for your business. For #denver locals only, and we're capping it at 10 people.

Sign up today (link in bio). Learn how to take photos you can be proud of...with just your phone. Your business will thank you later. πŸ˜‰

Is your business like a shitty diet?πŸ₯—πŸ₯—πŸ₯—πŸ˜’

Meaning...you set all of these really unrealistic tasks to get your business to that ideal place, you make it like a week, and then it all fizzles out?

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌI'm going to post on Instagram daily!

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌThen, I'm going to master ALL the social platforms: Linkedin, Clubhouse, TikTok, and Facebook.

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌI'm going to engage with every comment online.

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌI'm going to post a new blog twice a week.

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌI'm going to go to one new networking group a week.

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌI'm going to meet with 2 prospective clients per week.

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌI'm going to answer all emails within 3 hours.

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌI'm going to follow up with old inquiries every week.

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌI'm going to ask past clients for referrals.

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌI'm going to send fun little client gifts as a thank you for said referrals.

πŸ‘ŠπŸΌAnd then, on top of all of this, I'm going to run my business and provide an amazing product/service.

πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜ž

Ummmmmmm, no.

Like losing 100 pounds, that shit doesn’t happen all at once. So stop setting yourself up for failure.
