I met up with Allyson, Holly, and their husbands at Mill Race Park in Columbus, Indiana to shoot some portraits of them together and with their spouses. They both hadn’t had any photos done of them together since their weddings.

Both Allyson and Holly were a breeze to work with. We started with the standard portrait then moved to variations as that is my specialty. Colorful umbrellas, jumping, vintage couches, and a covered barn were all thrown in to make these portraits memorable.

Towards the end of the shoot, Holly and her husband were walking to a bench for some shots and he picked her up as to have her avoid the mud and wet grass. I was clicking and awww-ing at the same time. I love to capture those in between moments that show relationships and love. To me, the in between staged shots really tell the story of the subject.

The more I shoot and work with couples and families, the more I realize how important it is to have photos done every so often. I’m not saying this as a photographer, I’m saying this as a personal realization to archive your life and family through the years. The most important day of many people’s lives, their wedding, is captured extensively by a photographer, but after that seldom do people get photos together. Personally, I’m going to force my husband (sorry honey) to do some anniversary photos together every year so we can have beautiful photos of us when we’re old and wrinkly and say weren’t we cute!
