Danielle & Rob
In the midst of “Boudoir Madness”, it was actually very nice to deviate from that scene for a little while to photograph Danielle & Rob’s engagement session. It was awesome to capture two people in love interacting & wowza… these two really love each other… I mean, yes, all couples getting married hopefully really love each other.. But their relationship tug on my heart strings. Rob is in the military & is gone for months and months at a time. Danielle was living in Chicago, but moved to Raleigh to be with Rob. But now he will be leaving again very soon, so she’ll probably be moving away to be with her family. I can only imagine how bad this SUCKS for military wives. Loving, letting go, moving… Gosh. I am not so sure I could be so strong. Anyways, since Danielle Loves Chicago, we started in downtown Raleigh to capture their love for the city. Good thing she loves Chicago, because the day we did the session it was friggin’ FREEZING!!


And since we were in downtown Raleigh & there just happened to be doughnuts nearby… PIT STOP!!




Danielle told me that they take walks through Oakwood, and this is one of her favorite houses. How cute it that?

A little white fence just to throw some southern flair in there

Rob kept trying to angle his face so his 1 dimple would be in the shots. So, the dimple got it’s very own glorious close up

Their ode to the military

Off to one of their favorite spots in downtown

This shot feels so real to me… I mean, they all are, but it’s like I really wasn’t there

Funny. Not so funny.

Ok - my favorite of the day!! It’s a mini story to me - a quiet moment while life whirls around them


Even though the sun completely smacked Rob’s face off, I like it




Worn out & frozen. This feels a little Abercrombie-ish to me. All it needs is a bon-fire & a half naked kid in the background!

They are so cute! I love the black and white kiss in the corner. I also really like the pictures with the sun in the background. I love the effect of the crazy bright light.

So funny - I thought you were calling me out for using my red couch for more than one shoot - we first used it a year ago when we put it on a roof for bridal portraits…..I had no idea you have a red couch and did the same thing! Where is it? I wanna see!
Here’s the bridal - http://cheyenneschultzphotography.blogspot.com/2008/04/stephanies-bridals.html
