top secret info about the photo above........ i totally thought it was an accident when i took it. i had my lens hood on wrong, and it got in the way. and in looking through the photos it moved me, and ended up being my favorite. it gets me down to my core. i love it. it was also the last photo we took in fresh and easy before getting kicked out. the man wished them well though.... telling them he'd been married for 16 years. too cute.
so lets back up a bit.... ben and laura are awesome. they called me one day, so excited to tell me their rad idea to go to fresh and easy for their engagement session, and when they told me there would also be a picnic and poems, i got more than excited and told them i was SO in, even though we'd probably get kicked out of fresh and easy after about 5 minutes. i am stealthy though... so we managed to stay for around 20. rock on.

i get pretty obsessed with still lives, ask ben and laura how long i spent shooting their picnic bag.
ahh!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! biola friendys... thats one for ya.
what? how did this get so perfect?
i've photographed about 3 or 4 of ben and laura's friends.... so they pretty much knew what to expect at this shoot.... and they also know that i get really really jazzed about fun engagement shoot ideas, so they wanted to know what grade i'd give them on their idea. um, can we say A+???????????????? especially because they shared their chocolate with me.
eeeee! its fall!
love it #2,

LOVE it, Shan!! Great job and I love that you get so excited about these things :)
(09.19.09 @ 04:56 PM)Unbelievable. The shot that you said "How did this get so perfect?" is too beautiful for words. All you can do is look more and more!
(09.19.09 @ 09:06 PM)carson your comment was on 09.19.09 at 9 PM....caaaarazy!
shan these pictures are lovely, simply lovely. the color is so autumn-ish. it's wonderful.
(09.19.09 @ 11:16 PM)SHAN!
This is some of your best work, in my amateurish (or bushleague -- I learned that word from my crossword puzzle this morning) opinion!
AND I love Ben and Laura! They go to Redeemer and Laura plays the cello -- my dream.
love you.
(09.20.09 @ 12:20 AM)ps: the album is here, I haven't told you that yet. AND WE LOVE IT TO DEATH! AND we've hung up your art prominently in our living room. So beautiful and it matches our room perfectly.
ahhhh.....! LOVE these!!
(09.20.09 @ 12:26 PM)Good people to know.
(09.20.09 @ 04:27 PM)They seem like an old couple already.

(09.20.09 @ 04:48 PM)I love the shot with the leaves on the ground!
