and by camera, I mean a nice camera. After it came with me to a few Church events, a friend in the branch asked if I would take her engagement pictures. I explained that a good camera does not necessarily mean a good photographer, or even a good picture-taker. She explained that they didn't have money to hire a good photographer. (She didn't --she just asked if I'd at least try.) So yesterday we met up at Millennium Park in Chicago to try to take some pictures. I wish we'd waited about an hour for the sun to start going down, but they are busy busy people.
So this is me, trying. Well, trying-ish.
I feel the need to add that there were more engage-y looking pictures, but I'll leave them for Clark and Shelly to display elsewhere. These were a few of my favorites. I know I'm not even close to the genius that is Maryn, but I wouldn't mind practicing some more. (It wasn't until the end of the "shoot," that I asked them, "Is this how you would normally sit?" And they both said no, rearranged themselves, and they finally looked like Clark and Shelly.)

Way to go Sar. When are you going to start charging? I hope they love the pics!
They look pretty darn good to me! and, happy birthday the day after. Hope your wildest dreams come true.
That first photo with them holding the letters is awesome. It's exactly the sort of thing I'd send as an engagement photo. Consider yourself on call ms. . . . should that ever prove necessary.
SWEET!! new camera! we should do photo shoots.
