i just love being able to post a favorite image and tease a client with it.

I am home in Kansas this week (Rock Chalk Jayhawk)….and was asked to photograph the engagment/family pictures for a childhood friend whom i have known for about 25 years.

Laura is 1/2 of a brother-sister-twin combo that i grew up with. One of my favorite and oldest memories is the night Laura stayed over for her first sleepover at my house. We had a large window in the family room where we slept that was right by our couch bed. I convinced her something along of the lines of the fact that that was where the boogey-man or a burglar or some big, bad man came into our house in the night.

Needless to say, that sleepover ended shortly thereafter as Laura went home.

Throughout the years, Laura and i played on every sports team together, were friends and i am sure at some point mortal enemies, we even got ourselves *suspended* from a volleyball tournament or something together for calling the coach a bad name…which, of course, we denied….which, of course, we actually DID.

So, this is only one of MANY images we were able to shoot this past weekend with her fiance, Jake. Her daughter, Davina, is in several of the other images we have, but this is one of my very favorites.

From what little i have witnessed of Jake & Laura’s relationship, he is very caring….he makes her laugh…he is silly and she sucks it all in. He worships her and his daughter and this image envelops all that is their relationship.

You can see Laura relaxing into Jake, and he is securely embracing her…nothing bad will come her way.

 

many more images to come, but that’s it for  now.
