Earlier this year, my kid brother Danial married his long-time girlfriend and best friend, Catherine. Throughout my trip to the Carolinas, I snapped numerous shots of Catherine who (to my delight) was more than happy to be my model.
On Christmas Day, I recruited her and Danial to be my models while they showed me around the property Catherine's family owns. While Catherine is wonderful to photograph, my brother is a pain because he hates having his picture taken so makes it as difficult as humanly possible to capture an image. Luckily, with Catherine and my coaxing, we were able to get my brother to behave long enough to get a bunch of photos of the happy couple.
I'm really proud of these photos and hope Dans and Cat enjoy them as well. :)
P.S. A handful of shots are from before and after Christmas day, but I threw them in because they were just too cute not to show. :)
I have never met anyone who did not love Merle. :)
She and I met when we worked at the bookstore together and she's one of the few people from there with whom I still keep in touch. She's the freest spirit I've ever known and I envy her for it. She's got a great, kooky personal style which I was so happy to be able to capture in these photos.
The
one of her sitting patiently in front of Paulette's is my favourite
photo from this shoot, but the one of her with her hands at her head in
front of the purple wall is the one I think is the epitome of Merle.
