Meet K&E :: She Said Yes

I'm still trying to figure out the best formula for web photo size (haven't gotten there yet). However, I have some fun pictures up to view.

Something fun for this engagement session, I gave the couple a blank piece of paper and marker, had them sit with their backs together while they wrote what first attracted them to the other. It was a fun little reveal...

L.O.V.E.

For fun, we took some pictures outside the diner where the couple had their first date. It was so fun and cute. :)

They studied up on the art of kissing from some pros from our nation's past. ;)

And just by chance, we took some pictures right outside the barber shop where the future groom gets his hair cut.

What a lovely couple and I feel honored to capture these moments, and very soon, the moments from their wedding. It should be a blast.

Nothing By Chance

Photographing babies makes me sweat buckets. It isn't a very attractive process. You've seen those adorable Anne Geddes-esque photos of sleeping babies dressed up like lady bugs or tiny little blue birds nestled in a feathery nest. But in reality (in a reality where you are not Anne Geddes) photographing tiny, fussy infants might be the biggest chore for a photographer. So you can imagine how much crazier it is when you do a spur of the moment session in your own home, with your own fussy children running around (pooping in their pants...yeah...reality) and a tiny one that is not too keen on me stripping him down to his birthday suit.

More than an hour, I think. That's what it took to get these handful of shots. Lots of crying, bottle-feeding, burping and holding close. After being showered in pee and dodging poop, I got some shots that I am pretty proud of.

Me.

Gia Cooper.

No 'Geddes' to it.
