I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

planning my week right now…and I decided I will post something on the blog every day.  (for you Ellee.)

:) happy monday loves!

Angie is an old friend of Brett’s, and their families have been intertwined for many years.  I was good friends with Angie’s younger brother, and we all went to a tiny private Christian School here in Cincy.  Since we started our photography business, Angie has not only been a huge fan, but a fantastic supporter- sending anyone she can tell our way.  We thought it was her time in front of the camera….we had done a session of their kids over a year ago, but she has been avoiding the camera at ALLL costs.  In fact, if I didn’t keep her to this, I think she would have found a way to weasel out.  ;) But they haven’t had photos of the two of them EVER that they are happy with, so I wanted to make that happen.

Angie had been saying for weeks, “I just don’t think I can look like those couples you shoot!”  I just kept telling her she would do fine.  We went out and had a great dinner (and drinks), and then headed out to get some great shots of her with her amazing hubby.

Bryan was not nervous at all…in fact I think he could have done a solo shoot.  :)

So many funny things were said during this shoot. I think they were asking, “What do we do next?” And Brett responded, “Make a baby.”

We decided to just push her limit to get her comfortable, so we said “Hop up on his back.”  Angie said, “Seriously?”

Ties.

Beautiful couple.

We laughed A LOT on this shoot!

Too cool, for school.

Love this one.

HOT SHOES Angie.

My favorite. LOVE this shot.

We played a little, “1-2-3 do whatever you want.”  I can’t tell you what they BOTH did on the count of three, but we all were dying laughing.  :)

We visited the place where Bryan first proposed.  I love the city lights.

Pretty, pretty.

Couple actions shots I took of Brett.  His stance was making me laugh…then I figured out he was holding back the ivy.  :)

He finished and I snagged his beautiful smile…*love* that crazy boy.

my hired monkey….

Angie, you can calm down now.  It’s all over.  :)  We had such a great night with you guys- more like running around and playing like little kids.  Now, we can look forward to your family session this fall!!  :)  Much love to you and Bryan!  (Bryan, you’re a trooper!)

love, Brett and Jess
