In photography (much like anything else), we have days that are a little more challenging than others. The lighting is inconsistent, we're struggling for creative ideas, we get stuck in traffic, our jokes just aren't funny. On days like those, we simply have to take a few deep breaths and push hard to make our shoot successful.

Those days are balanced (fortunately) by really, really great days. The location is beautiful, our client is up for anything, our creative juices are flowing, and the sunshine comes out to play.

Last Saturday, we had a great day. :)

It was windy. Ok. It was whip-your-hair-in-136-different-directions windy. But we still had an amazing time. All the components lined up: downtown Kissimmee was beautiful and serene, Carly was up for anything, our creative juices were flowing, and the sunshine came out to play for a little while.

It's days like Saturday that make us love photography. And it's clients like Carly that make the 'job' part feel non-existent.

Carly - we had such a great time with you this past weekend. You are truly one of the best, most easygoing people we've ever photographed, and we really enjoyed getting to know you. Your smile is contagious, and so is your compassionate spirit. Seriously - you're awesome! :)

Like I said, it was windy. But apparently, the wind loved Carly.

Carly is really photogenic. So photogenic, that if she wasn't also super sweet, you may just have to despise her out of jealousy. ;)

Hello, sunshine.

I LOVE these next two. Though they look similar, I love them for completely different reasons. I also love that Ben snapped one of them, and I snapped the other. Team effort. :)

Um, yeah - so we just painted this mural on the wall real quick for the shoot. No biggie.
