London Bound

March 30, 2012 by Gabby · 3 Comments

Finally the weekend is here! I´ll be flying over to London to visit some friends, soak in spring and be a little spoiled. I feel like the craziness of travel season has started and I could not be more excited about it. Two weekends ago I was in Barcelona, last weekend in Berlin, now London and next week I´ll be in Budapest! Have you ever wondered why I called my company En Route…? I hope you´ll be having a beautiful weekend full of sunshine, love and happiness. Have a good one!

Sometimes photoshoots just happen… You meet a girlfriend for a coffee, then Mr. boyfriend shows up with the kids, the sun just starts to disappear on the horizont, the creamy golden light illuminates our faces… its moments like these that I’m happy that I carry my real heavy camera with me all the time! I captured this beautiful spring afternoon in Berlin last week, with two of the cutest and most modelesque kids out there!

Photographing kids can be hard, they get bored quickly and I only have so many funny faces to make them laugh, but these two were actually enjoying posing and fooling around for the camera and it shows!!! Thanks lil monsters for working it for me! You are superstars!

P.S: Have you recognized gorgeous momma Angi from this previous lifestyle shoot?

I’m known to quote quotes all the time. I blame Pinterest for this new found obsession and if you’ve been following me on Facebook, you for sure have seen some of the random wisdom I’ve been dropping on there from time to time as well . The truth is, my life has been full of unexpected adventures lately and on exciting weeks like this one, I cannot NOT be a true believer of the power of positive thinking. I truly believe that we can do whatever we put our minds to and with hard work, dedication and a little luck from above everything is possible. EVERYTHING. (But it doesn’t hurt to remind ourselves from time to time ) Without further ado here are some inspiring thoughts for the week:

Photography Tips & Tricks Nr. 5 | Hang it in there!

March 22, 2012 by Gabby · 8 Comments

This is probably one of the elements of my photography that I get asked about the most! How do I get those misty, colorful hues in my photos and how does it work exactly…. well in all the photos in this post I used the same super easy trick… I just held something in front of my lens! It can be a leave from a tree, flowers, the corner of a blanket…. it can really be anything that you think would add mood to your picture (or you can always add something similar with the gradient tool later in Photoshop, however I almost never do it through PS). As always, use low aperture, focus on the eyes and shoot away!

It’s almost weekend! Yeyyyyy!
