my pact.

By | Personal | 7 Comments

watch out! three rockin’ couple’s engagement sessions for your viewing pleasure:

you know we’re photographers. you know about yellow bike. you know that matt thinks i eat too many pickles and that i think matt is a total stud. what you don’t know is that right now i’m in a bit of a crisis. this happens every year, twice.

i dig under the bed for my huge tupperware bins of the upcoming season’s clothes and what i find i might as well throw out the window. i did not wear these things! but oh yes i did. and now that it’s getting cooler and i’m pulling out the warmer clothes the thought of wearing these things again just makes me cringe.

you must know, i’m not a clothes snob, not even close. but seriously every time i go under that bed and check out what i have to offer myself for the upcoming season i just get discouraged. i wear boring clothes. i cannot even cover that up with the word ‘classic.’ really, just boring. safe. those are not the words that describe the clothes i really like, just the ones i end up buying. i have more soft cotton, solid color shirts than most of the population. i need to make a pact with myself this season, and in order to keep it, i’m sharing it with you: this season i will take risks and buy a few pieces that i just love, instead of filling the closet with more of what it already has. not a life-shattering pact, i know. but it’s time. thanks for listening!

jessica & timothy are engaged!

some of you who follow us on twitter have asked us about our recent update, ‘probably our most interesting engagement session yet!’ well here is your answer; we shot this session during a downpour in the dark- half outside half in a library. whaaat?! we called timothy and jessica earlier last wednesday expecting to reschedule; instead they said they were up for some ‘different’ photos so we grabbed a couple of flashes and jumped in the car to head to athens!

we met them at the library, toweled off (why? who knows.), and dove back into the rain to start shooting. to be honest i was scared. looking up through the rain into the dark, locked academic buildings around us i had no idea how we were going to make this happen. luckily, jessica and timothy are the sweetest, most patient couple in the world. they talked to us, entertained each other and jumped at whatever insane thing we suggested. they stood in the rain while we tested flash angles- chatting away like they didn’t even realize that they were chillin’ in a flood.

we finished up in the library where i welcomed the green florescent light like i never have before. as we shot them cuddling through books i realized how amazing these two are. nothing can stop them. i never saw a hint of frustration from either of them regarding soaked jeans, sharing an umbrella or strange looks in the library. they spent every second together being together- talking, laughing, cuddling- and it was incredible. no doubt when they’re married they won’t let bothersome things like taxes, laundry and bills get between them. because they’ll be together. and when they are together, they are together

my fave! i love how all of the green showed up:
