It is effortless how Chase lifts and carries Hunter into the next room and with complete confidence and security undresses him and arranges his son in various poses for the photo shoot. I'm amazed at how secure and comfortable he is, for no other reason than my experience with most new father's is that they are nervous around their new baby and exceedingly gentle so as not to break them. I could feel the calm in the air amongst all three of them. Mother, Father & Son… Very infrequently do newborns make it through the session without crying. It's very stressful for them, sleeping, eating, waking, being handled, naked, cold, etc… Not Hunter. Calm as can be, peeking at me with his adorable little face. This doesn't surprise me though because you see, from the first moment I met Sara she was so sweet and nice and wonderful and now that I have met Chase it's very easy to see that between the both of them the gene pool is very strong when it comes to these particular traits. I wish you both the best on this venture as new parents I have a feeling that you'll be just fine!
Love the little piggies.
I think that Chris is Bionic. No seriously, I can't say that I have seen any jumps quite as high as the ones he did during our ventures around the city. Now what I can say is that after having met and spending some time with Lynn and Chris I can whole heartedly attest that these two are the type of couple that my whole business plan is based on. Their connection is both fun and loving. The energetic banter between them fueled with a closeness and understanding that you can only have when you truly love and respect someone. They often finshed each other's sentences and compromised with decisions and of course they share a love for images and the feel and type that we capture are most definitely a priority on their wedding day. Although I loved the shoot tremendously my most favorite part of the day was sitting at a little brew pub with them afterwards and enjoying an icy cold white ale while listening to Chris share the most hilarious stories of his youth. I glance at Lynn and she is laughing and listening with intent as well and although I'm sure she has heard the story of the "I can beat out the highest speed and incline of the treadmill," before, it's as if she heard it for the first time. You were both a joy to be around and I'm very excited to be a part of a day that I'm sure will be the focus of many future stories to be told =)
I'm often enthralled in the beauty and symbolism of wedding ceremonies. Whether it be Hindu, Baptist, Catholic or Asian there are so many aspects of the day that showcase love, family and tradition. Often these days are long but go by so quickly as you move from one aspect to the next. Spending the day with Nhat and Arthur was one delightful blur. Nhat told me early on that the images were the most important aspect of the day and for that I am grateful to both her and Arthur for not only allowing me to document their incredible love but for also asking for more! Ha! They are the only couple in the history of my career who has ever asked me to shoot more. I love you guys!
Nhat holding Arthur's hand and gently leading him towards where I was sitting smiles at me as she says, "can we go outside and take some more pics?" Um, yayuhhhh. We sure can. I could shoot these two and their families all day. You have made me feel so welcome and such a huge part of your celebration and I love that I am able to capture these moments for you!
This little guy wanted to wish them love and luck today too!
The kids were occupying their time with a little card hustling =)
