shooting up a storm | cousins in colorado | family shoot by joy marie

07.23.2010

Wow! What month is it?? We just took some time off for some much needed family time, and now I’m BACK and ready to hit the ground running with lots of incredible shoots to share! Every summer we block off some time to make sure we get up to my parent’s house on Bainbridge Island, WA. This year, we stopped through Denver first to spend a couple of days with David’s side of the family. One of my favorite times to shoot is when the sun first peaks through the clouds just after a storm. We just happened to have one of those magical moments in Colorado, so we gathered all the cousins together to take advantage of it. I love what this shot represents in our lives right now: sunshine after the storm!

joy marie + david | anniversary shoot

06.30.2010

When I have clients tell me they don’t like getting their picture taken…I REALLY get it!! I’m soooo much more comfortable creating the art than being the subject of it. Here’s a little secret, ONLY use a photographer that you feel super comfortable around! When David and I talked about getting some pictures taken on our 13th wedding anniversary, I knew Jillian Bisinger was that girl for me! Jill is a good friend of ours, and a super talented artist. It’s a good experience for every photographer to get on the other side of the camera. It really shows you how important it is to have that trust with each other in order to get the intimate, vulnerable shots. I am a strong believer that every couple, at every age, should take time out in their relationship to document their love. When I look through the pictures from this shoot, it makes me so grateful that 13 years ago I said “I do” to the most incredible man I’ve ever met. Jill, thanks for the AMAZING pics. To see more, be sure to check out the feature posted by the wonderful ladies over at Junebug Weddings!
