mark + jennifer {beloved}
mark and jennifer came over for dinner about seven, maybe eight years ago. they came to the door, mark with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and his lovely wife jennifer-and i knew right then...that they were keepers. ; ) recently, i found out that the last time they had been photographed was on their wedding day and insisted they get in front of the camera again. so much has changed since then... better, worse, sickness and health, you know... life. and through it all... love. mark is jennifer's biggest fan... he's so proud of her. jennifer adores him just as much. they're amazing together-quite a team. mark spends his down time on the guitar... or the piano- he's so gifted. jennifer is a creator of beautiful things-an artist of many mediums. their home...a lovely unique reflection of them. i imagine this is how they spend their days off... chatting in the window seat, dreaming, playing the guitar...serving the best coffee to drop in guests...
love the way they laugh together.

mark and jennifer... thanks for letting me drop in with my camera. so happy you're in my life-and i wish you a lifetime of love!
ralph
earlier this week i posted a few images from a shoot i worked on a few weeks back... you can read about it here. ralph need a head shot for his acting portfolio... but he didn't want the typical portrait. he pulled together a group of creatives, wardrobe and found us a great location. this is what we came up with:

amazing what a cut and shave will do for an appearance...from start to finish some didn't recognize him-we're happy to have the clean cut ralph back!
and because i always find it fascinating to see behind the scenes of a photo shoot...

different is good
a place so grundgy i had a hard time putting my watermark on these images ; ) not the typical nwp+c frolic in the field at sunset... but it's always inspiring to try something a bit different. by different i mean...i dusted off the studio lights and ... yah... that's a tripod...?! 
come back and visit and i'll show you what came from this dungeon we shot in...oh and i'll post a few more behind the secenes shots courtesy of mike...thanks bro!
love letter-a gift
in december i asked you to write your love letters and send them on in-i used them as wall paper for a back ground in my booth at the wedding co. show-it was lovely...not as lovely as reading them all though! so sweet! for participating... i promised to gift one lucky couple to a session...
dear jess stephenson-i look forward to photographing you and your love.
'we trust destiny. all the wrong turns, stumbles and falls brought us together in a stronger bind. we needed to experience them in order to appreciate each other in a much more fervent and impassioned way.'
give me a call-we'll put a date on the calendar and chat about the details!
what a great response about this little excercise-i received many notes of thanks for challenging people to do this... it's not too late-grab a paper and pen and put your love story in writing. GUYS... i just gave you the most fabulous valentine's day gift idea ever! you're welcome. ; )
