Just Maui’d! Happy 1 week of marital bliss to these two who are currently living it up on their honeymoon in Maui. (See what I did there?😏)
⠀⠀
Many thanks for bringing me out of wedding photography retirement for your special day. It was absolutely worth it and such a fun and beautiful day.
⠀⠀
Cheers to many more weeks, months, and years of togetherness and creating memories that will last a lifetime.💜

#missypalacolportait at the wedding of @danielle.gherardini & @rilyngherardini1

Meet artist and designer, writer, editor and educator Lorene Edwards Forkner of @gardenercook.
⠀⠀
In April of 2018 she started a #100daysofseeingcolorinthegarden project as part of the larger #100dayproject challenge and it has since become an ongoing daily practice for her.
⠀⠀
Lorene selects flowers and plants from her gorgeous garden in West Seattle and then pulls out the color that she sees into a simple watercolor tile palette. I love seeing her little masterpiece of art and color in my IG feed and it’s even inspired me to look beyond just the surface at the color that surrounds me in my work. ➡️SWIPE TO SEE➡️
⠀⠀
I had the privilege of capturing branding pics of her in her element and her process last Sept as part of a book project she will be featured in. It was such a beautiful day filled with fun, laughter, and emotion…and one that I’ll never forget.

#missypalacolbranding shoot

A lot has changed since I started doing photography 20 years ago - from my style to technique to confidence.
⠀⠀
I used to be afraid of shooting mid-day. Everyone in the photography world knows that mid-day has harsh lighting and shadows and when starting out we’re told to avoid it like the plague🙅🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀
When I started MPP in 2012 I made sure to book all of my sessions either super early in the morning or at golden hour in the evening. And while, yes, the lighting during these times of day aren’t called golden hour for no reason, I found shooting at these times of day wasn’t always convenient for some of my clients. -Especially those with young children.
⠀⠀
Soooo, I had to change and learn how to make the best of shooting in high sun hours to help out the Mama’s out there w/ their kiddo’s nap or weekend soccer schedules.
⠀⠀
And here I am today shooting in FULL, BRIGHT, HIGH NOON SUN WITH NO SHADE, not afraid to do it! I’ve actually learned to enjoy this new lighting challenge for myself and the light it brings to my images!☀️
⠀⠀
How about you? What is an unexpected joy in your work?
