This Spring weather has been rough on scheduling. The worst part is it doesn't even rain when they say it will. Promised but undelivered rain is what got Eliza, Erick and I up way early in Georgetown. It was a Sunday morning and we had the whole place to ourselves - creepy, empty M Street with parking as far as the eye can see. Fortunately, Erick thought my "photo voice" was hi-lar-ious so we had a good old time. I even made them frolic.
(Yeah! We got up early enough that there weren't any cars parked in front of the flower mural!)
The kayak people were so nice - even opened the gate for us to take photos by the bridge and with the colorful kayaks.
I have the best clients.
Georgetown is really quite alright. Lots of pretty stuff (basically none of which I am showing on the blog today) and then graffiti, underpasses, weird street scenes - it's a great place to shoot.)
I photoshopped a rat trap out of this image.
You'll see more of these two on the blog in fancier dress later this year.
Congratulations, you guys!
We started in their home, which is a lovely place to start an engagement session. Particularly when you have so much natural light.
Matt proposed right on this bench. Spoilers: she said yes.
One of my favorite portrait spots in the park got some seriously mean-looking graffiti, so we rocked it a different way. (PSA to people who put graffiti on public places: dudes, come on, not in the best portico.)
Congratulations you guys! More from Alyssa and Matt next year. And no more from me until the dreaded/anticipated Best of 2014 post. Happy holidays everyone!
These two are so goofy and hilarious. We worked on three movie references during this photo shoot. This is The Notebook. Right?!
Not pictured: Dirty Dancing, whereby I made them go down to the creek and try to dance on a log. I underestimated the difficulty of that maneuver. You're also missing the Reservoir Dogs take we did with the fam. I'm probably going to use it for all family sessions from now on. Also, imagine me attempting to explain how to do Reservoir Dogs without using the word "badass" (because of swearing). I always bring the awkward.
Pretty sure A is doing jazz hands here.
Congratulations you guys!
