From the moment we stepped out the car and into the frigid cold, the goofball and spirits meter was off the charts high! There was never a dull moment with these two! It’s hard to believe that this was Bobby and Valoree’s first time doing a photoshoot because they knew all the right poses and they always had a way to make each others burst out of laughter. Natural models. But what I truly admired from them was their chemistry. Listening to them talk about their relationship and hearing about some of their funnier stories, I realized just how well they know each other, and how much unspoken love was shared between them. As we approached mid-day, we proceeded to wrap up our shoot at Belle Isle and drove back to Detroit for some quick snaps there before wrapping up the session.
I tend to do a lot of reflecting after each photoshoot. As a photographer, I always want to make sure that the folks in front of the lens are comfortable and don’t feel weird being photographed. I try to leave as small a footprint as possible in their interactions. But for this shoot, I think they embraced my presence as much as I did theirs. I feel privileged!
Congratulations on your engagement, Bobby and Valoree!
