Love Story: In Love! Adults, kids and all!

We can't help but feel joy when one sees a couple really into each other as if they are on a magic carpet ride!





They were happy to have their picture taken. I don't know their names, but pray they don't fall off the carpet as it seemed to be going fast, LOL!

Here's one, taken by our server at the Alamogordo Chili's Restaurant with my Canon PowerShot G16:


Married 14 years, 6 months, 2 days.

A truly fabulous woman! And an old telephone engineer.

Nice!

I love the rendering of the woman's skin tones.

Nicely done at ISO 12,800.

Aren't you glad that you really still have the strength to schlep the 6D!

Best regards,

Right up my alley!

To help separate my professional portrait photography business from all of the others - I created the term "A Love Story" in 1986 to describe my casual style of capturing image sequences of "couples in love".

Here are a couple of my favs:

I never used the term "Love Story" for families - - - but it works.

TOP: A medical doctor who's wife hired me to update their 30x40 wall portrait. After the formal shoot along Lake Erie, I encouraged them to go wild in the water being the water marks on the light coloured clothes, no longer mattered.

MIDDLE: A national champion squash player - now manager of a popular radio station - - - hired me to photograph his young family. He brought sports gear and we included action in many sequence images. But it was this "family connection" image that they chose for their 24"x30" canvas wall portrait. They have me booked for the update when I return to Canada next year.

BOTTOM: These two daughters hired me to travel six hours to photograph the family for their parents 25'th wedding anniversary. Turned out dad was sick as a dog that day - - - but the love between daughters and parents, emanated from every shot. The 30x40 canvas print that they purchased, did not show their faces, and was taken from behind with arms crossing each other as they walked. But I personally love this shot.
