Google always comes out with all sorts of great free toys. I decided to download and check out Picasa this morning… And when I started it up, it automatically searched all of the hard drives and found all of our image files (wow did that take a long time)… Anyhow, it had a feature to organize them by date, so I started looking through the earliest things it found, and there were all sorts of old things that I didn’t even know we had. Here’s one in particular that I wanted to share.

Melanie was an art major in college, and she concentrated on portraiture (And if I do say so, myself, she is really good at it!). Here is a photo from her senior show that I found of our friends Missy & Josh in front of some drawings she did of them. Artists are never satisfied with their own work–so rather than show this to her first so she can say “no, you can’t show anybody those old drawings!” and try to stop me… Instead, I’m going to post this really quick while she isn’t looking!

Missy & Josh

They eventually got married, and we shot their wedding last year in Asheville, NC.

Yesterday evening we went out for Audrey’s 9-10 months. (You know how you completely intend to schedule a session when they’re 9 months but then you actually get there a little later? – It’s all the same! :P) I love where we live now because the whole neighborhood is so picturesque and perfect for portraits! So there we were, all jumping about and waving bring tennis balls, trying anything to get Audrey’s attention and a smile. Baby sessions are so funny that way! Do you ever wonder what they must be thinking? It’s quite the spectacle. :)

I just love the nose scrunching!

Hope you guys enjoy them!
