Indulge me for a second, I'm feeling all lovey dovey...  ug, I know, but someday I think Aiden will appreciate that his parents love each other.  What seems like ages ago, J and I had "the engagement session we never had" with a great photographer. We now have a little montage (top left) hanging in our bedroom which makes me smile when I wake up in the morning. I feel so grateful to have such a husband... he's just 'such a' everything... so supportive and we are a true family.


Amy's Words Abbreviated: Remember how you looked at your spouse when you were first dating? Or engaged or newly married? When was the last time that you really stopped and looked at them like that? For most of us, the answer is “I have no idea!” I know it’s that way in our marriage – we are two busy professionals with two loud, demanding children!! Romance? What is that?

So when the new year came, I was determined to do it – a love session that focused on people who never focus on themselves anymore. Something to remind a couple about why they got married in the first place – how gorgeous and special their spouse is, something to rekindle romance even if just for a few hours.

Thankfully when I put out some feelers again recently, Lauren emailed me within a few hours of my posting on Facebook. So after several emails, they got a sitter and I met her and her husband Jay on Brown’s campus for some gorgeous evening light photos of the two of them. I have to say that honestly, I don’t think I have ever had that much fun shooting a session. I love my work, don’t get me wrong, I love love love working with kids. But this session, shooting the way that I wanted, shooting the emotion that I love capturing with these two – it was just about photographer Heaven. The scenery was to die for, the light was magical and Lauren and Jay have this chemistry still after almost six years of marriage and one child that I think we can all be envious of and that shone through repeatedly in their photos.

Engagements are great and fun. But there is something about working with a couple who has been together. It is a different kind of love that you are documenting. And it is truly, truly wonderful.

JANINE - gorgeous shots Amy…with the media focusing so much on break ups and divorce, it’s REFRESHING to see couples like this willing to share their love with us.
