We had a very busy Saturday. We shot an engagement session earlier in the morning that was all the way across Seattle and then we drove to the Queen Anne area to do an engagement session with Jocelyn and Mike. We had never met them since they live in eastern Oregon so I was super excited to get to finally spend time with them. As soon as I jumped into the conversation I simply just fell in love with their warm and laid back personalities. Right off the bat they warned us...as many couples do....that they are not photogenic. I told them that I would guide them through the process and help them get comfortable with us. The funny thing is that it was all a sham. Maybe they didn't know...but they are so photogenic it wasn't even funny. Jocelyn would give me her best angle, adoring eyes, and then move into a bunch of different poses as if she was a seasoned veteran. Mike knew exactly how to be himself in front of a camera. If he ever read this he would die laughing because he was terrified and not so sure about this photo shoot thing. It still amazes me how some people struggle in front of a camera and some people just know what to do. They just have that it factor. ...ME. I don't have that special something that makes me stick out in pictures and so I choose to be on the other side of the camera. Jocelyn and Mike have that IT factor.
I am so excited to shoot their wedding and can't wait to be a part of their celebration!!!

Thank you Mike for getting through the session. You were amazing.
