Meet Emily and Martin.
Emily designs jewelry.
Martin is a photographer. *Gulp* And not just any kind of photographer, the kind of photographer who worked for National Geographic for over a decade. I’ve barely forgiven Emily for keeping this from me until the day of the shoot. 
Emily and Martin were the last of my free sessions (done in an attempt to build up my portfolio very quickly) and I’m happy they ended up on the tail end of that part of my career because they ended the gratis work with a bang.
Oh yeah, and meet Ruby. We can’t forget darling Ruby!
This is not an advertisement for Starbucks. They just go here a lot so I wanted to try something new.
That pink tongue! That red hair! That green necklace! I want it all. Even the pink tongue. And especially the red hair.
Oh, and I want the button nose. But I’m not sure I could make it work like Ruby does.
I wanted to do these pictures on the bench across the street with less “clutter” in the background, but Emily wanted to do the pictures on this bench instead. Evidently the first time Martin and Emily kissed it was in a parking garage. And she kissed him. And then he ran away.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! That’s sock you in the face kind of color.
And then Emily brought out the red Vespa. Emily and Martin met when Emily was working at the Vespa store and so I love that they included hers in the shoot.
I can’t help myself around gorgeous rings. Sometimes I decide to stop focusing on the face and take a moment to drool over the bling!
THAT SHOT!
I mean, seriously “j’adore” in the background with the red scooter with the dog with the cuddle?
It just doesn’t get any better than this my friends.
I realize all three of these shots look almost exactly the same, but I just couldn’t help myself. I love them mucho mucho!
Emily chose this as her Facebook profile picture and it makes me smile every time I see it. Ooops, did I just out myself as the kind of photographer who stalkers her clients on Facebook?
Anyone who has worked with me knows I spend a lot of time holding my camera over my head and shooting blind. This is the product of that little technique of mine, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
One more pretty ring picture.
We’ll end with a shot that will make all of the dog owners say “Awwww!” and all of the dog-free people say “Ewwww!”
Emily and Martin, I think your sessions ended up being incredibly sophisticated because the two of you are both so elegant and inspiring. Martin, thanks for taking the time to “talk shop” with me during some of the down time, and your kind words about my shooting techiques. I hope you are pleased with some of the photos as well. Enjoy your big day next month, I have no doubt that it will be as beautiful as teh two of you are.
Best,
Jenna
