Dy-no-mite!

Couples with matching initials make me giggle. It's like God, when deciding that these two people would be together forever, said, "and to top it off, I'm going to alliterate your names so you can make really pretty monograms and your wedding photographer can make stupid jokes about it". I'm sure that's not at all how it happens but it's still cool!

This couple is literally TNT. They are so very adorable and in love and I had an amazing time with them shooting their engagement session. I can't wait for their wedding next month!

Bump.

It's a fine line that I, as a photographer walk, between being voyeuristic, and having a vision. I never in my life thought I would find myself in so many positions asking people to kiss, touch each other, or take off their clothes. Sometimes, however, it has to be done. Not the case with this beautiful mom-to-be. She asked, when she originally reached out to me, if a studio session was an option. I didn't realize, at the time, that this was due to her desire to show off her gorgeous maternal figure. I was so impressed with this mom's candor and how comfortable she is in her own skin. Every mother is beautiful, but so few FEEL beautiful in the last weeks of their pregnancy. I was so pleased with the outcome of this session.

Hot.

I love the end of summer. I'm one of those sickos who genuinely enjoys the sensation of warmth. For 16 hours a day. Pair that with the few extra hours of sunlight we've taken for granted since spring, the kids back in school (so that my morning Target trips can be enjoyable again), and REALLY good fruit and veggies and this is my favorite time of the year. When one of my brides wanted to do her engagement session over Labor day weekend, I was initially hesitant, assuming all of my good locations would be overrun with vacationers, but I dug deep and remembered a great little spot where we did some personal photos awhile back. I suggested we start early, because not everyone is as sick as I am with enjoyment of this heat. 

It was still 90 something degrees at 8:30 in the morning. Seriously?! Egg. On. My. Face.

They were absolute champs, and fantastic in front of the camera. This couple shares a wonderful chemistry that she mentioned wanting to capture when we first met and started talking about her wedding. She mentioned they have a young child together, but she didn't think that meant they shouldn't have some sexy mommy-daddy photos just like anyone else. I was SO glad she felt this way... not enough couples do, in my opinion (says the girl who was 5 months pregnant in her engagement photos). I think we absolutely achieved the sexiness she was looking for... to the point that some of the photos aren't ones I can share!

I can't wait for this awesome couple's wedding!
