How can you not love that face? My new buddy Carson and I made some pretty nice photos the past weekend, including this one. You know how some babies are just happy? That’s Carson.

When I shoot engagement sessions, I personally like to be able to feel the affection between the couple. I have no empirical evidence of what I’m about to say, but I think it’s really there. When the two people in front of the camera love each other, and genuinely feel it, it makes the photos better. Continue reading “SKETCHBOOK: Crazy Little Thing Called Love”
