Nooooo, they’re not engaged….yet {wink wink}. These two love birds were simply kind enough to let me take their picture…after almost a year of asking…and after almost a year of Jenny trying to convince me that she’s not photogenic. Ha! I think I’ve proved you wrong, Jenny. I wanted to try out a new location – a parking garage in North Seattle with just the right amount of light and hardly any cars to bother us. Despite the cold and wind and clouds I think they might have even had fun! Especially the part where seven Seattle police officers tackled one running trouble maker across the street at the bus depot. That was kind of exciting! All kidding aside, it was fun to hang out with this chill couple. I usually find that the first 15-20mins of a session is the most awkward. As a lifestyle portrait photographer, it’s my job to figure out what makes you tick. I need to put you at ease and let your honest expressions show. I try to capture my clients mid-laugh and relaxed. Most of all, I don’t want them to feel like they’re getting their picture taken. I wish my camera were invisible! Eventually, though, we settle into a rhythm and start having fun. That’s when I know it’s okay to start posing you like an origami swan and instruct you stand in the middle of parking ramp and “do whatever you want”. That’s when the magic happens. Friends, I’d like you to meet the absolutely photogenic Jenny and her charming man, Cameron. Enjoy….
