Engagement Pictures: Popcorn Prop

As this engagement session album move towards its conclusion, I return to the original popcorn theme present at the start of this story.

Also, as you'll see from the last spread in this album, his sudden appearance ads an element of surprise and drama that serves as a great conclusion to the story.

Although this photograph is incredibly simple, I think it's interesting how with just a few visual elements, viewers are immediately aware that Kirstin is looking at a scary scene from a movie or television show.
