a super happy couple

i had the opportunity to photograph some newlyweds on saturday. what is great about sessions like this, is that it is more about the relationship between the two. and not so much about smiling for the camera. i told them that i mostly wanted them to pretend i wasn't there, and that i wouldn't be asking them to look at me all that much. and they really were great at pretending i wasn't there. :)

it was very obvious that they are happy and in love. most of the images are filled with laughter. and i feel honored to have been able to capture that for them.

i'm only a third of the way through proofing. but here's a sneak peek for them and their loved ones. i'm including one "looking at camera" (wink. wink.).

a few recents of my kids

i just have to say that i love having gorgeous kids to photograph. and i love that bribes work!

on this particular day, it had rained off and on all day. and it was currently not raining. so, addie put on her jack skellington sweatshirt to snap a few quick pictures. the pictures cost me $1.05. it would've cost me $2 if ian had been in the mood to cooperate. but alas, he was not. so, he was only paid a nickel for his modeling on this day. i will take it when i can get it though. this just wasn't one of those days.

of course, addie is very open to payment and bribes. and i use that to my full advantage. she continues to be my muse and i am daily amazed at her beauty and energy.

and it started raining again the minute we stepped outside. but i still managed to snap a few.





and, what a nickel buys these days...

what my clients really think of me...



i kid. i kid. this family was so much fun. and mr. c made me laugh and laugh. i loved the look on mom's face here. it was definitely not a boring session. i love a family with a great sense of humor, and this family does. and it was obvious that they had a great, fun relationship!

in all seriousness, we had a lot of fun. and i got a lot of great captures. i'm up to my ears in proofing, but wanted to post a few sneak peeks.





and one more silly one, just for fun!
