a swap

I was at a client's house photographing their newborn when I saw a picture on their wall that caught my eye. It was the most perfect black and white engagement picture I had ever seen. So I asked who took it. Then just by coincidence, my husband had been treating a patient of his who gave him the website of the same photographer I had just found out took the picture that caught my eye. It was taken by the husband/wife team of wedding photographers Kevin and Alicia Monahan. And since they are local, I started referring people to them whenever they would ask me about wedding photographers. I also emailed them just to tell them how great they are! Then I asked how much they would charge to take some shots of my husband and I since our wedding pictures weren't quite as candid as what we would've liked; plus we've changed quite a bit since then. GRACIOUSLY, they offered a service trade instead. Now I know I am getting the better end of the deal on this one! To make a long story even longer, we decided to take the kids with us and they foolishly agreed. ;) I'm so excited to see how theirs turned out. Here are a few from my camera. I am resting assured that Kevin (photoshop genius) will be able to re-work anything that's 'off' as far as my processing goes.

Check out their site whenever you get a chance, and if anyone is looking for a wedding photographer who is reasonable yet completely amazing, book them!

This image was taken with a lens they let me use for this shot; 70-200mm and VERY heavy. My left bicep is sore from trying to keep it steady. No kidding.

















I have to post this one. We ended up walking 2.7 miles, and our daughter and their little girl ended up holding hands for about 2.5 of those miles :) It was so adorable. Here they are being goofy.
