Joseph + Regan Engaged

We finally get a chance to meet, after about three other attempts that fell through. Some of them were due to weather and some just scheduling differences. (we are all really too busy these days...not just my clients, but me as well)

This lovely couple wanted a country shoot for their engagement photo shoot. They are both country kind of people, and I like that about them. They have been dating for a long time. No really...a loooong time. For what I believe is over two years now, these two have been getting to know each other. It is a bit difficult in their case, as with many others, because of the distance between them. They are not multiple hours apart, but apart nonetheless. Just for the fact that I cited earlier, busy lives often get in the way of a perfectly good relationship. 

Joseph would go down to Hattiesburg to visit Regan as often as possible. And when you see the photos below and the look of love in her eyes, you know that clearly Regan came up here to Jackson to see her man Joe as often as possible. 

Joseph has this thing he does with Regan, he calls her pet names. I know, I know...you're thinking, "Oh, how cliche or how piggish." Well, it is neither of those things. It is downright cute. The one that sticks out in my mind is when he calls her, "Darlin'." It is oh-so-very-country, just like him, but she just seems to take it like the biggest compliment. I love that about them! I like couples that take ordinary things and make them special. Little things that you would not really think much about, Joseph and Regan dote on. That makes their love and their relationship unique, in an increasingly non-unique world. 

As you can see from the photos, these two are in deeply in love. He finally popped the question, and much to his delight, she said 'yes!' Later this year, they will be exchanging vows on the beach, something that they have both anticipated for many years. 

Congratulations, you two! You deserve the happiness that you clearly have found.

A Warm Winter Frolic

Excitement is mounting. I want to just run around and frolic by the water on this warm, winter day, but I can't. I can't for fear that my younger sisters, or parents, will think me silly. That still does not take the desire away.

I would really like to be climbing one of those trees. I know mommy and daddy told me not to in my good clothes, but that is all I can think about. Ok...it looks like we are about to have our photo made and we will have to smile.....that TREE! It is calling to me!

Look at that goose! Can I go see that goose? It looks so soft and friendly. Oooh...that lady walking has a dog. Can we please go see that dog, Mommy? Can we please go pet it? I am sure that it is friendly. My two sisters are so much fun...they always have adventures for me. 

Those were the thoughts of the three girls of this past Saturday's session. They span from over age 12 all the way down to about 6...and they are full of imagination. The oldest one always runs full out toward me to give me a hug. The other two are trailing behind and just have tons to tell me about. 

I met this little female-domated family at our local reservoir, a large man-made lake near where they live, for our annual photo session. It was a beautifully crisp winter day, with the sun shining bright. It didn't hit me until I arrived that each of our 4 photo sessions, including this year's, was at a park. Each of them have been at a different park, and it is very fun to get photos of the girls playing on their own throughout the session. The following photos show how much personality resounds in this family, and I hope they never lose it.

 

PS-As an added bonus, this couple just celebrated 10 years of marriage recently. Congrats to them and here's to another 10 and more!

A New Look

I'm going for a new look. Afterall, I've had the same look for many years now...as far as eyeglasses go.

I'm not sure if you have heard about a company called Warby Parker yet. They are an innovative company that is really shaking up the way people buy eyeware. You can do virtual try-ons by taking a webcam photo of yourself and then virtually fitting some of their frames on your own face. That was pretty effective, but I wanted to take it a step further. Their second method is the Home Try-on. In this, they send you five of your top picks....actually to your house. They ship them to you to try on and decide...for five days. That way, you can get your friends and family to help you decide. Oh, and for every pair you buy, they donate a pair of glasses to someone in need across the world. I think that's a pretty neat concept. They are very involved in social media and allow customers to post photos of just about anyone wearing Warby Parker Eyeware.

Here's where you come in. I want to know what you think. I think I've narrowed it down to two or three of the five, but I'm curious what you think.

Vote for the styles you think look best on me. (Again, these are very different than the ones I currently wear.)
