Charlotte + Richard - July 2008
I am finally getting caught up on my processing! This shoot has been on the back burner for a very long time. The "clients" are great friends of mine and have been since 1998. When we first met I was dating their son, of whom I eventually married. We dated for four years and during those four years we hung out at his dad and step-mom's house quite a bit. We could chill there, they trusted us (probably too much sometimes!), and we all really clicked. Well, the son made some bad decisions that caused our marriage to end, but I never lost touch with Charlotte and Richard. One thing that I will always remember is a comment that Richard made during the whole mess, "I do not care what my son decides, but I will always have a daughter." And you know what, he means it. When I lived in Columbus and my parents did not (heck even when they did!) I could call either Richard or Charlotte up and they would help me with anything. Brandon has become good friends with both of them (after one serious interview!) and considers them great friends. It is such a blessing to me that Brandon feels that way.
Charlotte and Richard are one of the main reasons my photography is where it is today. When I bought my first "real' camera Richard was the one who helped. He had always been into photography and knew what he was talking about so I gleaned a lot from him in the beginning. They have done so much to help me and encourage me over the years, that when they came to DC for a visit I was thrilled to do a photo shoot for them.
I have selected a few of my favorites to share with you....
1. My favorite straight up couple shot
2. This one brings me so much joy and for anyone who know Charlotte this is SO her!
3. Just a plain fun shot!
4. Charlotte is a worship dancer at my old church. She loves the Lord and loves to worship him through dance. Richard loves to watch the joy she experiences through dance. I love this representation of them as a couple....
