Engagement: Molly + Jonas

After the session was over, Molly, Jonas, and I stood around for 10 minutes talking about favorite Dallas restaurants. Which is my way of telling you that they are a fun, easy-going couple who I loved spending time with. The two of them are getting married in just a few months, July 18 at Aldridge Gardens in Birmingham, AL, and it sounds like it will be a gorgeous wedding (as long as none of your guests show up wearing sports attire or jeans, right guys? )

I told Jonas I wanted him to post as if he was “checking Molly out”. Molly quickly indicated which body part he should be focusing on. :)

Molly and Jonas are a Match.com success story. Don’t they look hot together?

Deep Ellum never ceases to amaze me. There are so many different colors, patterns, and textures all within a few block of each other. I’ll be visiting this spot again soon (and unlike most spots I can actually remember where it is!)

It’s been awhile since I’ve put up a SOOC shot and I’m so in love with this one. No processing done on this whatsoever. I’m always amazed by what you can do with the right kind of light.

Love the yellow, love her smile.

THAT SHOT!

Molly and Jonas get bonus points for posing so well in front of a crowd (there was a ring of people gathering behind me watching them for this shot). We chose to meet up in Deep Ellum the same weekend as the art festival, which meant spontaneous sidewalk chalk art for the shots, but we had to deal with the crowds.

Molly says their first date occured because of a shared love for This American Life (something I love to listen to as well!).

Molly is the Alabama fan. He is the LSU fan. Football season = fun times for the two of them.

Mmmm, you know I love these steamy shots.

They asked me for a “mom shot”, sometimes referred to as a “newpaper shot”.

Jonas and Molly love to cook together. He cooks the delicious food, and she cooks the healthy dishes.

They love to laugh, as you can see, which made taking pictures a breeze for me.

Molly and Jonas, thanks for spending the evening with me. We just might have to meet up sometime after the wedding to try out one of those Dallas restaurants you reccomended. :)

May 6, 2009 - 12:56 am Katy - I always enjoy seeing all these sessions you are booking! You are getting your name out for sure and when others see your gorgeous shots, they'll tell their friends. I especially loved those bluebonnet bridals - awesome. It's definately true that it doesn't matter what kind of camera you have (though a good one is very helpful!) - the eye for beauty and somethinng interesting is even more important and you've got that gift!

May 6, 2009 - 1:45 pm MCH - This gives me quite some ideas about future shoots. But those walls...... have never seen m here. They work so well. How long do your shoots usually last for? And you always do early morning or late afternoon for the light, right?

May 6, 2009 - 1:52 pm MCH - And your (and other's posts) also show me you do a lot of talking to your "models". Something I still need to learn. I understand that is why people photograph so well, it's the comfort of your voice and positive feedback, telling them exactly how they should look. Is that your tool?

May 7, 2009 - 4:20 pm Nina - I found your site through a friend's and love your pictures. you are very talented...the colors are amazing. thanks for helping us see how beautiful the world is...

May 12, 2009 - 6:33 am stella - Love the last one with the potted plants!
