    I love this shot *1 pic*

    As I'm beginning my freelance photography profession, I've been taking a few photoshoots for people wanting holiday photos. I actually have 3 photoshoots "booked" right now which is rather exciting.

    Well, today I did a free photoshoot, as it was more for me. I really wanted photos of these two people because they mean so much to me. So, the three of us went to the beach/park and shot a few photos.

    Memaw & Papa


    I just love it. I love it sooooo much I can't even explain. I'm going to print a few and frame them for myself and my grandparents. I took quite a few different shots but this is by far my favorite. I love how you can feel/see the love between them, the smiles on their faces, him embracing my grandmother, etc, etc.

    Afterwards, they came back to my place and I made dinner (Papa requested ham, mashed potatoes, and green beans. I also made chocolate chip cookies with icecream and hot fudge for dessert.)

    Papa is doing a bit better for those who have followed his story. He is allowed to go on day visits away from the mental hospital/home. He's still not himself but he is a lot better than he was the past few months. He is behaving when on his visits. He started crying on Saturday (last time I saw him) but today he didn't cry at all.

    We are hoping he will be able to return home for good on December 1st. He WILL be able to spend Thanksgiving with us.

    Nice pix, nice exposure, good use of natural lighting.

    Did you use any type of reflector to balance out the shadow areas? Kinda looks like some reflection coming from where their hands are behind the tree.

    Something about that photo is -- TIMELESS. There is so much love and yet they are also at peace with each other and I don't even know how to describe what it makes me feel. And that was BEFORE I read anything about who they are to you!

    Best wishes with the photo shoot you have lined up!

    Great news about your grandpa.

    What a beautiful memory Kay - it's timeless

    Congratulations on your decision to go pro! You have a great eye for photography and know how to capture a precious moment. Anyone can learn the technology ... the real skill is in the "art" You've got it girl - use it well and have a wonderful time

    My very best wishes for your success in this new adventure.

    Wow, that is just amazing! That picture makes me feel so many emotions, all I can say is that I hope I can experience with a spouse one day what your grandparents have

    And your photography is amazing! I think you are doing amazing, and I'd definately get you take a pic for me if you were here

    Nope. I think this is the first I've posted about me doing photoshoots on this forum. Doing the same thing I've always done, but just started charging.
