these came out great mary! I dig 'em all, but especially that last one!
awwwwwesome. great spot ~ last is my fav. Keri & Steve look stunning! [hope there were no stray kittys]
These are stunning.
LOVE the first look shot! And I think I've said this before, so forgive me for the broken record effect, but I always love your bridal party shots and your portraits. They're perfect!
This is where Sarah (of Sarah + CJ) came in.
Sarah is a super rad graphic designer for a hip firm here in Toledo, and instead of attempting to make my own new letterpress cards, I contacted Sarah to see if she'd be interested in the work. By the time we wrapped up the design, Sarah mentioned that she would like to do another engagement-esque photo shoot that encompassed her and CJ's love of water and water sports. They were super photogenic the first time, so I was all for another shoot. Times are tough, and I am definitely willing to barter ;)
You're speedy, lady! I'm LOVING these!!! Thank you sooo much :) Can't wait to see the rest.
fine work indeed! excellent as always!
Great work Mary! I love watching you grow as a photographer! I hope our paths cross again one day, keep up the good work!
