Self Portraits | Ghent Virginia

Taking pictures of other couples always make me want to have updated pretty pictures of Branden and I! So a few weeks ago, we went out for what I guess you could call “self portraits”. I called up my sister and had her come meet us to help me out. I would put Branden in the spot I wanted to take the picture and set up the shot. I would get the settings and composition the way I liked it, then I would hand the camera to my sister and hop in the shot! So much easier than a tripod and a timer! And in return for her help, I took some pictures of her too so she could have some new pretty profile pics! We went to our favorite little field that is right down the street from us and then a few streets over to The Hague. I wanted to do local spots so that we could always remember our time living here in Ghent. So here are some of my favorites from our little photo shoot! Plus a few test shot bloopers!
