photos of couples

I have to run out the door (date with my hubby… he just pulled up with the babysitter), but wanted to get Elayna and Tim’s engagement pics posted :) They only needed a couple portraits at their wedding reception, so that post will be sparse… but here are plenty of these!

We’re off to Home Depot, Costco (might have dinner there – LOL) and to see Public Enemy!

My title is a little misleading. Lisa really isn’t “mine” and “Uncle Eli” really isn’t an uncle… yet.

But for all intents and purposes, My Lisa is what I call my BFF. And since there are so many Lisa’s, I needed to differentiate her from all the others: Lisa N is my eyeglass shop owner friend, Lisa B is my brother-in-law’s girlfriend (who is also my friend) and Elisa is my friend who goes by Lisa but her birth given name is Elisa (pronounced uh-lee-suh, not ee-lee-suh) and I just couldn’t name her Lisa W (because double-ya doesn’t flow off the tongue as easily as Ehn or Bee). My life is so complicated, eh?

Then there’s Uncle Eli, or Uncle Blockhead to Piper. Aunt Lisa (that’s what we call My Lisa to my kids) took Piper with her to work one day and introduced her to Eli. Somehow it was decided that Piper could lovingly call Eli “Blockhead” and that’s all she can remember, no matter how many times we try to explain that his real name is Eli. So since there’s an Aunt Lisa I figure that he’d be Uncle Eli (or Uncle Blockhead if Piper prefers) when they got married… of which they ARE getting married ;)

Here are some pics I took of them last week in Kirkland, WA…

This is my most favorite engagement session yet! Kristy’s oldest sister was married two years ago and was my favorite wedding… everyone involved was so kind, Ashley and Kyle were absolutely in love and the colors were just delicious (greens and pinks). I’m thrilled with how these turned out, not being able to narrow them down to just a few. Next weekend I’ll be taking Kristy’s bridals then she and Phil are getting hitched December 15 (thus the #15 in one picture).

These are my friends, Nick & Miriam. We’ve known Nick since we moved to Utah (he’s Cathy’s BIL). He’s a good man who’s first wife died of a rare liver cancer about a year ago. Miriam is a school teacher and looking forward to becoming a mom to Ally! They are getting married this summer in New Mexico (hey – I’m from Clovis!). We had fun taking pictures at Memory Grove in Salt Lake City then going for Thai afterwards (the way to my heart is sometimes through my stomach). Hope you like them…

Q: I am having trouble narrowing down my favorites which results in posting a lot of pics. Should I post less or do you think the more the merrier?

This couple was really sweet and willing to do anything (well, almost) for our cameras. They got soaked from the get-go and were real troopers through it all. We had the fabulous John Michael Cooper leading this shoot and learned a lot from him (don’t touch the sand was a big lesson). He wasn’t as nervous about his gear getting wet as I was (mine was only a few days old; had it covered with a plastic bag and stuck an umbrella into my jacket, trying to keep it balanced against my head and not poke into the other photogs all around) nor did he mind rolling around on the wet sand.

4 Would you roll around in the wet sand – if I looked like THIS I would
5 their shoes staying dry and waiting beneath the pier
6 This was one of the first shots… the jacket didn’t last long
7 a little Pride & Prejudice coloring for ya
8 This was before it got really rainy
