This photo makes me *blush* -- but I got exactly what I was going for...a little 'edge'! Brittany and Zander are newly engaged and have set a date for January 2009. When we initially booked the engagement session, Brittany had her mind set on the Botanical Gardens. Yes, the gardens are gorgeous but I had more of a 'kicked up' session in mind ;) Once the city of Norfolk was mentioned she was game! She and Zander really knocked my socks off...I think they are "America's Next Top Model: The Couple"!!! Seriously, these two were naturals and made my job pure heaven. Glenn, my hubby and partner in crime, came with me to take a few shots and be an extra pair of eyes for ideas around the city. I found the Library, he came up with the idea for the photo! We make a great team ;) (Gosh, I really do like those smiley faces, don't I?!)
My favorite photographers, Jessica Claire and [B]ecker, never cease to awe me with their brightly colored backdrops, relaxed sessions and pure emotional "UMPH". [B]ecker often says, "I'd rather apologize than ask permission". As we went so boldly into that library scattered with security cameras, that's what gave me strength to just go for it. I thought for sure we'd be booted out, and most likely would have been turned away after asking permission, so I told Brittany and Zander to go for it and I'd snap away. Before getting kicked out, I'd for sure get that lucky shot. Fortunately, I'm pretty sure everyone in the library knew what we were doing but everyone was super cool and never said a thing. We stayed quiet and hidden, so I think that they let us just 'do our thing'. I was ready to break out of my comfort zone and go BOLD (maybe mimick some of Jessica and [B]ecker's flare). Proudly, I think I achieved that =) Before today, never would I have imagined me doing something so baaaaaaaaad to the bone! haha! MORE to come!
