Merry Christmas!

Merry

24.12.11 the latest & greatest

Just when I thought there was no redemption from shoveling my driveway whilst fighting a head cold, complete with a hearty cough and drippy nose, the mail lady pulled up and handed me a box.

“This is for you guys,” she murmured.  As she turned away, she mumbled the first half of “Merry Christmas,” catching her not-so-politcally-correct self.

Just as quick as she appeared, she disappeared, leaving me with a “Merry” and a box in one hand and a snow shovel in the other.

I chose the box and instantly my Christmas weekend got a lot cooler.

Have I ever mentioned I have the coolest brides and grooms ever?? Scott and Alicia – you guys rock!  I was thrilled to open wine glasses!  I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw them engraved!  Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and friendship!  We love you!

And because it seems to be in the air today: Merry!

Meet: Amber & Michael

Hey yo!

A few weeks ago, I met up with Amber and Michael… who’ve been married for years and who just wanted some pictures together. :-)

My favorite.  Couples in love who appreciate photography?  I’m your girl!  I’m all about these sessions.

We had such a great time shooting around their garage – which garage is an understatement because it’s so much more than a garage – it’s like a dive bar meets chic lounge meets the inside of a Snap-On truck.  It’s awesome.  And it’s easy to see why these guys chill in there in the evenings over a beer (from the Kegerator!) or a shot of Jack Daniels.

Love these guys!  Enjoy!

Cheers,
René

Ladies,

Your wedding is coming up in six or nine months.  Have you starting thinking about a gift for your soon-to-be-husband?

So that was totally way too infomercially.  But fo’ serious… Have you thought about a wedding gift for him?  We do a fair amount of Boudoir Experiences each year and I think it’s time we start gearing up for 2012.  These are such amazing experiences for any woman, engaged or not.

Let’s just get real for a second.  Okay?  Look.  In all seriousness, I, who am not engaged, married, etc., am getting some done in a couple months. For me and only me.  Elegant, beautiful, graceful images.  I want to capture life as a twenty-something, cause I’ll never be this young again.   Aaaand, I think it’s only fair I experience what YOU experience being on the other side of the camera.  :-)

So I ask you this, wouldn’t it be cool, if you opened an old dresser drawer and in the back, tucked in a crevasse, you found a 6×6″ distressed print from the 1930s… of your grandmother, in her prime!, showing off her long, beautiful legs and her youthful smile?

I kind of think it would!

I rest my case.

XOXO,
René
