1.31.2013 Couples Portraits: Us!

It's been a long time since my last post because I usually like to take a little hiatus from photography over the holidays and into the new year.  After the busy-ness of fall when all I am doing is working my regular hours and then spending so many of my free hours taking & editing pictures- it's such a nice change of pace to have time all to myself!

I thought I would take some of this down time to share a little project from late in the fall.  I realized that I have taken hundreds of frame-able pictures for many family, friends, and clients... but I had nothing I could frame and hang in my own house!  It made me sad.  So, I started coming up with ideas for pictures our little family of two and asked my sister to come along and snap the pictures.  I knew if I set up the shot, she would be very capable - she's very artistic.  She MADE me pick a date so as not to over schedule and run out of time.  She was instrumental in making this happen. So, she shot the pictures and I edited them... and here are a few.

The first pics are at a single screen art deco movie theater that opened in 1939.  I fell in love with the marquee, the ticket booth and the colors.

The second set of pics are just typical Indiana country roads- walking with our favorite pup.

It's harder to be on the other side of the camera.  But, I am so glad we have these pictures of us.  2012 was a big year for us - we celebrated our 10th anniversary.
