Lindsey Marcus | Creative Portrait Session | Atlanta, GA
LINDSEY MARCUS | CREATIVE PORTRAIT SESSION | MCFARLANE NATURE PARK
October 9, 2023
After an eight-month hiatus filled with house renovations and bustling routines, I eagerly stepped back into the world of photography, ready to capture magic through my lens once again. So when Lindsey reached out to me with an idea for a dreamy creative portrait session, it felt like a breath of fresh air after the long break.
Lindsey had a clear vision for her photoshoot: a butterfly-themed dreamy creative session. She shared a series of inspiration photos, painting a vivid picture of pink and purple butterflies in a dreamy forest setting. With a shared enthusiasm, we embarked on the journey to bring her vision to life.
Choosing the picturesque backdrop of McFarlane Nature Park was a no-brainer (it is after all my favorite shooting location of all time). The golden hour sunlight, casting a warm, ethereal glow, illuminated the park on that beautiful October evening. It felt like the universe was collaborating with us, providing the perfect weather and light for us to make magic with.
Lindsey's passion for her theme was contagious, and it pushed me to experiment with my craft. During the editing process, I explored new techniques and styles, creating a unique blend of colors and moods that complemented the enchanting butterfly theme. While nothing is set in stone yet, these edits offered a glimpse into the potential directions for my work in the coming year, 2024. I’m looking to create a new series of presets for editing and took this shoot as an opportunity to experiment with some new styles.
This session reminded me of the power of collaboration, the joy of creative exploration, and the magic that unfolds when passion meets artistry. It's not just about capturing moments; it's about creating immersive experiences that resonate with the soul. I am immensely grateful for Lindsey's vision and trust, which allowed me to dive deep into my creativity and emerge with a set of photographs that tell a story of vibrant butterflies, golden sunlight, and artistic evolution.
With newfound inspiration and a renewed sense of purpose, I look forward to the exciting photographic adventures that 2024 has in store. Stay tuned, because the best is yet to come.
