It has been a little crazy here as I sit in the library writing this post. A couple days ago I was trying to upload a photo on Facebook when I realized my internet was not budging, of course finding out that my usage for the month has zapped. At least I am able to go to the library to upload these photos to share with you all today, so I’m thankful for the fact that I can stay on schedule. 🙂 If you remember a while ago, I held a giveaway to celebrate my two year anniversary/birthday … well, these two were the winners and fortunately their One Year Anniversary was approaching! How appropriate!!
I absolutely adore these two and their pup! I first met Jessica through high school in our AP Calculus class … I also believe we were on swim team together? Anyways, between then and now she has found the love of her life and now celebrated their first year anniversary together! Congrats you two! They recently added to their family by getting a puppy … and not just any puppy, but an adorable one! Made me want to run out to the SPCA to pick up a dog after the session. 😉
The heat was very brutal the day we did the session. It finally felt as if August arrived and it was the first day of September! Not sure how that worked out, but we all survived and the sunshine was WORTH it! Seriously, sessions like this make me only want to photograph portraits on sunny days! Haha! Because it was so humid and hot, there were a TON of gnats. I actually got excited about it because I knew that if the light hit them just right, it could create the sparkle effect <= photographer nerd alert! 😉 Despite the heat and the abundance of gnats, I walked away excited to share their session with you all! Enjoy some of my favorites!!! Thank you Derek and Jessica for your upbeat and fun spirits!
Advice from the lovely married couple to couples out there:
Jessica: “Enjoy every moment that you spend together. Even the ordinary, everyday moments can be special and fun!”
Derek’s: “Marriage isn’t 50/50, so don’t try to be even. Sometimes it’s going to be 70/30, or 40/60, just remember to try hard for your partner.”
I just LOVE their love!!!!
