Here is Michelle + Tyler. Michelle is a photographer and Tyler is a Sociology major. When I found out Michelle was a photographer I froze for a second. I thought to myself, “OMG, I’m shooting a fellow photographer. I hope she’ll like her pictures”. With a nervous stomach knot and personal criticisms running through my mind, I pushed through and decided to give it all I got.
I met up with them at their apartment in Toronto and walked around their neighbourhood for their pictures. As we walked and talked about our world travels my stomach knot loosened. Michelle and Tyler are two of the nicest people I have ever met. They have such genuine personalities accompanied with the warmest smiles.
At the beginning of the shoot they told me that they were awkward in photos and not used to being the centre of attention. I was ok with that. But once I started taking their pictures, my camera fell in love with them. My thought of needing to coach them went out the window – their connection with one another was so natural and felt “just right”.
I don’t think they could hear me, but a lot of sighing was happening behind my viewfinder. Believe me when I say, I had to keep this blog post small, I wanted to put a all of their pictures up.
Congratulations Michelle + Tyler. Even though your wedding is 9 months away, I can’t wait to capture it. I seriously CAN’T WAIT.
I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do.
Happy Friday. :)
You gotta love clients that have a daring side to them. I suggested we Jaywalk and they were cool with it….
…then I pushed their daredevil side one more time…I wanted them to kiss in the middle of the busy street while traffic was stopped at the lights on either end…they did…man,I have the best clients ever!
