Bokeh isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that’s exactly what makes it so special. ✨ This beautiful portrait of Cloie shows a softer, more organic kind of bokeh — the kind created when sunlight filters through trees and everything in the background melts into gentle color and glow. Compare this to the bright, sparkly, or colorful bokeh you’ve seen in my last two posts — it’s a completely different mood. Same concept, but a totally different feel. That’s the beauty of it: photographers use bokeh not just for background blur, but to shape the atmosphere of the entire portrait — from bold and dramatic to quiet and serene. Next up: I’ll share how bokeh helps set the mood of an image — from dreamy and calm to cinematic and intense. #bokeh #portraitphotography #seniorpictures #behindtheshot #beautifulportrait #creativeportraiture #seniorportraits #lightinglove #naturallightphotography #classof2026 #seniorportraits #seniorportraitphotographer #pegthompsonphotoart
