Lunch-n-Shoot: Westport

It was overdue…finally got a chance to go have another lunch-n-shoot. This time the location was Westport and I had some extra company. With me at the Westport Photographer’s playground was Sarah Rimel, Christina Sandberg, and Anneka Clock. After a delicious lunch at McCoy’s, we ventured out and about to play for a bit. I can’t tell you how refreshing and needed it is to get out once and a while and shoot without an agenda. No pressure, no expectations…just a camera and your eye. Glorious!

I went through phases at the computer. The first grouping was just natural images. Basically, how I saw it.

This second set was a mixture of black n whites and vivid color. A little bit raw and grunge to emphasis the liveliness.

This last set was a little contrast meets vintage. Kinda how I felt at the moment.

I had a really gooooood time and can’t wait till the next one. It was just what I needed.

We love the Pattersons!

A few weeks ago, we went to Arkansas to visit our family and Matt’s hometown. Knowing that I haven’t seen Matt’s long-time friend, Adam, and his family since I photographed their marriage a couple years ago…I asked them if we could update their pictures a bit. They’ve even added a new family member since then. This is an “A”-awesome family…since ALL of their names start with “A”. How cool is that! It’s A-mazing! haha

This entire family has the most BEAUTIFUL Bright blue eyes. Although, Ashlyn slept the whole time, so I didn’t really get to see too much of hers.

“Adam, how’s it feel to be a daddy of two GIRLS?” …haha

The only member of the family without an “A” name is the dog…Cash. He looks we used by the kids.
