Engelhards in the Studio! Again!

It’s been a blast going through these photographs. If only Dana been here (Dana, Kim’s second oldest, not Dana, my little brother), it would have kicked even more butt.

First, here are a couple more photographs of Alicia. Though I tried messing around with them in photoshop, I always returned the original. I think it’s because Alicia has this wonderful natural beauty. Her skin is nearly perfect with a beautiful healthy glow. Moreover, it could because I know her… she’s a very down to earth, real person. She is a simple beauty, that’s for sure.

Here are some groupings, including one with my dear husband.

And, lastly, Minot’s Next Top Model: Chelsey!

This one is nearly the same as the first image I posted in the last entry. However, I took some of Jacqueline’s advice (thanks, by the way), and shaded it a bit different. I like the results. It brings you into her face more.

Kates - That picture of Chelsey throwing her hair back is absolutely stunning!

Dennis Bullock - Can you tell me what the back drop is on the first image?

Britta Trygstad - It’s simply a white background. Alicia was probably sitting about 3 to 4 yards away, and I used one soft box to her right (a bit above her). I’ve warmed the image up quite a bit, so instead of looking grey, it’s brown.

Engelhards in the Studio!

This weekend, Kris’ sister Kim, with her children Alicia, Chelsey & Zach, came to Fargo for the 5th Annual Seafood Fest at the Skjold residence. I’ve been itching to take some photographs in the studio… and luckily for me, the Engelhards were willing victims. And, since I have tons of photographs from our session (a bagillion from Chelsey alone), I’ll be posting them all week.

Earlier in the day, we were walking around the mall and Chelsey pointed out how ridiculous mannequins look. This is her interpretation of a mall mannequin.

teresa - beautiful, britta! looking forward to seeing more this week :)

Jacqueline DuBois - Hei Britta. Ohhh it’s a tough one. They are all great. An automatic favorite was definately the mannequin one. But the second one is nice too, and the forth one, with the flying hair is really nice of her, the expression is just beautiful. And the first one . . . I don’t know how old she is, but I don’t think she’s old enough to be looking like that ;). I’m never a fan of lit up hands/arms, but the pic is still beautiful. The only thing is that the central focus of the picture is her bright hands, when it should be that killer sultery look in her eyes. All in all, lovely lovely pictures!

Britta Trygstad - You know, I never noticed the thing about the hands. Just another thing to keep in mind :) I totally see your point though.

Yes. Chelsey is 15 going on 25.

Nate - What great pictures! That mannequin photo looks like it could be an editorial shot in a fashion magazine! Keep the photos coming!

Parents + Corgies

Just because I’m in an uber posting mood this week, here are a few more pictures from last weekend. Nothing fabulous, just my parents and their pups.
