While I enjoyed all of the couples I've photographed so far, I have to say that these two are my favorite. Not only are they insanely adorable together, but they're both so much fun to work with. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard during a photoshoot.
One of the best things about this couple, though, is just how natural they were. Half of the shots I got were them just being them; they didn't have to fake any of the cutesy emotions I asked them to show. The photo above happened by accident. Kaylee just happened to look over at me while Matt had his arms around her like this. There were even some poses they did when I didn't have my camera up that I just loved so much, I said, "Wait! Do that again! It was so cute!" Kaylee and I even convinced Matt to climb up a tree and hang upside down so I could get a Spider Man-esque kiss shot.
I honestly could have photographed these two all day. They were one of the reasons I fell in love with photography all over again. There was a period of time when I wasn't working at all, except for the occassional still-life photoshoot in our apartment. I was just so busy with school, adjusting to life in North Carolina, and getting my husband ready for Afghanistan that I didn't have time to promote myself in the Jacksonville area. Thank goodness I decided to take a trip up to Maine in May where I was able to book about a half-dozen jobs; not only was I able to make a little income, but I was able to get behind my camera again and remind myself how much I really love my job.
