The 2008 Real Couple of the Year wedding photography contest hit 1000 votes this afternoon! We still have four weeks left of voting, so anyone have any guesses at what the final vote tally will be?
This set of pictures cracks me up...they weren't intentional, it's just what happens when you have two photographers for parents. It's the same shot from two different angles--we couldn't have executed it better if we'd discussed doing it! (Poor Will doesn't stand a chance...)
Texture is one of the trendy things in post-processing right now. I decided to try it out tonight with this oldie but goodie.
That would be Nic!
We had friends over to celebrate last night. Helping us celebrate? Cheese, wine, chocolate, and more cheese! We had cheese fondue, raclette, and chocolate fondue for dessert. We watched Evan Almighty (super cute movie) and enjoyed the company of good friends and their good dog. Happy 28, Nicolas!
It is totally unfair that men get to look this good while camping.
Stupid boys and their lack of need for makeup and curling irons.
I couldn't wait to get home and proof this one. Brian and Naomi just got engaged.
Brian is our friend Laura's brother, and we spent the weekend at their family's cabin in the mountains. It was Brian's idea to drive to this run-down cabin, and I'm so glad he thought of it. I couldn't have been more excited when I got out of the car and saw this scene in front of me!
I had a great time taking portraits, but I think the weekend will live on in my memory mostly for the hilarious game of Cranium that we played on Saturday night. The highlight of the event was when three of us were desperately trying to act out "waterbed" only to have everyone keep guessing things like "seizure."
It was also memorable, because it's my first large group family portrait without little kids! I love the little ones, but there's something so thrilling about saying "okay--everyone look at the camera" and having everyone actually do it! :)
And here's one from my shoot with Shannon, the youngest family member:
When couples pose, they often ask me what they should do...and I usually end up saying "sit here, and pretend like you like each other."
This couple had me convinced. :)
From tonight's shoot:
When Aunt Heather came to visit, not only did she teach the little one to high five and cover his own eyes in peekabo, she cleaned out my pantry, organized underneath the kitchen sink, and folded all of my laundry monsters. We love Aunt Heather. We think she should live here.
