It’s always fun to photograph people I know. I have a better understanding of their personalities and tendencies which I use to my advantage when trying to capture the essence of the person. Usually. But this one, well…it was just a little bit different.
Ashley is my little cousin. My tiny little innocent cousin. She shouldn’t even be dating boys yet, let alone getting married. But apparently, time flies and she’s no kid anymore. She’s a beautiful young woman who has found a pretty fantastic guy who had better take good care of her. Or else. Just kidding. Sort of.
Photographing a couple is the perfect way to get a feel for their connectedness. (connectedness…is that a word? I like the sound of it, so I’m using it either way.) It’s cute to see them interact timidly at first. It’s awkward to have this person following you around, rolling on the ground, snapping pictures of your every movement. Not to mention, there was that whole “she’s my older cousin!” dynamic as well. But as the session progressed, they got more and more comfortable.
It’s easy to see that these two are crazy about each other!
