sneak peek : expecting couple at Longwood Gardens

I had such a difficult time deciding which ones to show you.  

I spent Sunday afternoon getting to know this adorable couple.  It was a treat!  Mom doesn't take a bad picture, whatsoever.  Dad was a little hesitant, but he finished strong. Longwood this time of year is especially nice.  It's like taking a mini-vacation for us southeastern PA folks.  Yay!  This was their first visit as a couple and they thoroughly enjoyed it.  And, lucky me, I got to photograph this very exciting time in their life.  I love to witness love in action.  Love is beaming from this couple.  :) 

Please enjoy your sneak peek, my new friends.  Thank you for everything.   Wishing you all the best in your life, soon to be parents.  

With a heart full of gratitude,

Cameras, dogs and Halloween?!

Sounds sort of tricky, doesn't it? The thought of cameras, dogs and Halloween in the same sentence doesn't exactly mix, does it? At least it sounds peculiar to me. But it couldn't be further from the truth! I met this lovely couple on Halloween to have a photo shoot together, using my camera {and the illustrious 50mm lens} while I got to know them and their sweet dog. I won't tell you where we met, rather, I'd like for you to guess! I couldn't get over all the photographers and dogs that were also enjoying this fall afternoon at our "secret" location. Look for clues. Please leave a comment on my blog with your guess! I'm not "tricking" you, but I will count your comment as a "treat!" Come on, don't spoil the fun! :}


And, I'd just like to say that spending an hour with this couple and their canine was sincerely both an honor and a treat! Such a handsome looking pair, fun, and incredibly photogenic! Take a peek at them and let me know what you think...

peek-a-boo...

reflecting on each other...

what a good dog he is... :)

Oh, no! This one is sure to give our location away!

and this one too!

{I gave this a paint daub effect ... what do you think?}

Have you guessed yet?

Thank you, my new friends, for a delightful Halloween afternoon.

I am grateful to know you, and your sweet puppy.

Give him a scratch behind the ears for me!

It's my wish that you will treasure your photos always. I certainly will!

Truly yours,

with friendship, always,

Barb
