I have always had a random fondness for Canadians. How they put the letter "u" in things like colour and favourite, and how "eh" just slips out every once in a while. There are randomly a bunch of Canadians that take Wendy's Schulz's photo class--the one I recommend. So we are all in an alumni group together. Michelle is one. (not the same michelle that took my pictures) She was down visiting relatives and I got to take her families pics. I had to give them very little instruction--they were so natural and fun. They made it so easy.
This shot came from a family session--and as I was editing I realized the pictures I loved the most were of the husband and wife. They were so comfortable with each other--so happy. I don't do weddings--I have no desire. But I think what I really love to shoot--is this ... marriage after years of good and bad. That comfort--the knowing looks, the knowing touches, just that thing that you get when you've been there. In this shot he is just setting her down after he had swooped her up on a whim. l.u.v. it.
