If You Weren’t Real I Would Make You Up

–

When Chris and I met, I fell for him right away. But not in that insane head-over-heels way. No, I feel for him in a very reasonable way in that I recognized that he was a really nice guy who I had a lot in common with who also made me laugh almost non-stop. No, the insane head-over-heels part came later and I think our relationship is better off for it. I honestly feel as though I fall in love with Chris a little more every single day. Cheesy? Maybe. Cliche? Definitely. But, hey, whatareyougonnado?

I’m gonna marry this man. I feel like I’ve won the lottery every time I think about it. I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t know him. All I know is I’m a better person for having known him and that’s what it’s all about for me.

There are a ton more images of this guy after the jump!

I Feel It All

–

We returned from Joshua Tree yesterday afternoon. It was an amazing weekend, but boy, am I beat. Hanging out in the desert can take a lot out of a person––and we didn’t even rock climb, or anything! The house we stayed in was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. But, the whole point of the trip was for Chris and I to spend some quality time together and that mission was accomplished. We have a lot of fun together when it’s just the two of us.

Of course the secondary mission for the weekend was to take photos, photos and even more photos. Chris served as my muse, and as you can see from the photos above, he makes a great one. I love that face.

I’ve got hundreds of photos to pore through, so please stay tuned!

I Remember, Long Ago …

I think the best part about photographing kids is that for the most part they don’t try to pose. Heck, most of them refuse to pose. For someone like me, this is great, because you are able to better capture the essence of their personality in a photo. This one was taken during a company kickball game/picnic. It was a family affair and this kid is the son of a co-worker. He was a rambunctious one–in your face on the kickball field and unable to sit still when it wasn’t game time. I captured the shot just as he picked up the ball and tried to persuade his dad to get the game started. I like to think you can see the wheels turning underneath that curly mop of his, as if he’s thinking, “Hmmm, how can I get what I want?”

Alone in Kyoto

Another old image (guess who hasn’t been taking photos!), this one from almost two years ago, I think! Allow me to introduce you to my friend Karl. He doesn’t like to have his photo taken–you’ve probably gathered this from his expression. But that doesn’t stop me from forcing him to pose for photos! I am lucky in that he always obliges–what a pal! This photo was taken during an exploration of Chinatown with a few friends. I miss explorations, I need to arrange one of those soon.

As you can see, I’m trying out the whole “sloppy border” look with this one. I kinda like it … what do you think?

Why Can’t Life Always Be This Easy?

This is Jayden. He’s my cousin’s kid and is surprisingly sweet and demure given the rambunctiousness of his father (Hi, Jeremy!). Though, like his dad, he loves to have a camera pointed at him. Future model right there.

Brother, Mother and Presents

–

I have three brothers who are considerably younger than I am (the oldest of the group was born when I was 12). Every year for the past few years I’ve made it a point to do some nice portraits of them so that my camera-lacking parents have some shots that aren’t school pictures. I usually use these as an easy out for Christmas and birthday gifts, but I think they appreciate them all the same. Today the middle brother, John (he’s 14), came to hang out with Chris and I. I mostly wanted to give my single mother a break for a day, but we were really looking forward to hanging out with him, too. I decided to take the opportunity to get a mini photo shoot in for mom’s Christmas gift. The kid is super photogenic, as you will see, so my job was really quite easy. He sat there and looked adorable; I just pressed the button. The only thing I gotta do now is figure out which shot my mom would like the most.

Here are five of my favorite shots:
