Toney & Carly {love} 19

I was bummed when I woke up on the morning of Toney and Carly’s engagement session. The view out the window greeted me with rain and the weather app on my iPhone announced that more rain was on it’s way. Rescheduling the session was not an option since this couple had driven almost 800 miles for their shoot.

When I went to see them, I was immediately put at ease. Carly, who also happens to be my cousin, was in her usually chipper mood and assured me that the idea of doing a session in the rain didn’t put her off one bit. Toney’s laid back personality was also totally comfortable with a wet photo shoot. And within a short time, I could tell we had something special.

The shoot was such fun. You can tell from Carly’s face how ecstatic she is to be marrying her man, and I loved seeing the thoughtful way that Toney cared and watched out for her.

So enjoy some of the photos from this couple’s rainy day session.

Insoo & Priscilla {love} 25

Traditionally, I thought the girl who catches the bouquet at a wedding is supposed to end up with guy who catches the garter. Not Priscilla. She caught the bouquet and ended up falling for the MC. Now they’re planning for their own wedding.

Braving sweltering heat, a minor plague of gnats, and a sky that was threatening rain, we still had a blast together. I love being with people who know how to laugh! My favorite part of the shoot is that almost every time I pulled my camera up to start shooting, Insoo would be staring adoringly at Priscilla. It was beautiful.

Insoo and Priscilla, I wish you all the happiness in your new life together. Marriage is a gift from God!

Jason & Jewel {Couples} 2

Photographing is usually part work, part play; but this shoot was ALL play! Jewel is great photographer herself and was already brimming with ideas for props.  Can I bring my own couch and antique props? Um, Y.E.S! The whole set-up was like a photographer’s dream. And how can you not love a husband who is willing to dress up?!  Thanks, Jason & Jewel, for all the fun!

Andrew & Jane {Couples} 8

If you take a gander (just felt like using that word) through my photos, you’ll see that a bulk of it involves babies and children. I love kids, and I’m convinced that photographing a toddler burns twice as many calories as kick boxing. But as much as I enjoy small people, it was a treat Saturday to get a chance to have a shoot with two adults. They stood where I told them, never threw themselves on the ground, and cooperated without me even once having to bribe them with animal crackers…it was a beautiful thing!
Andrew and Jane have been married for 3 years and decided that it was high time they had fresh and more casual photos of themselves. We had a fun hour as we chatted and roamed around a little town. I have no idea why it works this way, but it seems that only gorgeous women hire me…and their men aren’t too shabby either! :o )
