Youlien & Jay's E-session...

The first thing Youlien said to me was "we don't like to have a picture taken". Well, of course, this is not a thing a photographer wants to hear. But when I do encounter this kind of resistance it makes me determined to make the experience a fun one!

I don't mean to brag here (okay so maybe I do a just a little) but it didn't take me but a few minutes to get Jay and Youlien into the groove and enjoying my process. An hour flew by and all of a sudden Youlien said" I wish we had put more money into the parking meter so we wouldn't have to rush back to the car". At that point I knew I had change her perception of what it is to have portraits made.

We had a great time walking around West End and capturing some wonderfully meaningful and fun images. Here are a few of my favorites.
