Couples {R & J}

“That I shall love always, 
I argue thee
that love is life,
and life hath immortality” 
― Emily Dickinson

Shot this session of our neighbors R and J back in May. They're both expat teachers and R teaches in the same school as the husband, so it was only a matter of time that we got to meet. They've been  in Chongqing for a few months before they got engaged, so they asked me to take a couple's portrait of them (with the ring, of course!) so they can send some photos to family back in the US.It's a good thing that spring had just arrived. We were getting beautiful, sunny days and there was a common area in our community that looked like it was created just for us to shoot in. I also loved how easy-going this couple is, and how low-key they wanted the shoot to be. Low-key is my kind of shoot and it was so great to meet a couple who also preferred that and just wanted to have fun with it. And have fun we did! My camera loved them, I don't think  I need to write anything more than that. A few shots from that lovely May day.

Four Frames {R and J}

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Four frames of this lovely couple. 

Shot this session back in May and looking back at the photos is making me miss the warm sunshine and the lovely way the leaves turned yellow as spring sprung to its fullest. These days, the city is a gray, weepy mess, although it is still beautiful in it's own way. I can't wait for the leaves to turn and have their colors warm this otherwise cold and drab landscape. For now, I'll have these shots to tide me over.
