Our First *Real* Portraits After 6.5 Years of Marriage…
As I had mentioned last Friday, my generous (and talented) sister of AMS Photography took portraits of Drew and I together. These are our first decent portraits together, ever! We didn’t bother with engagement photos and we went cheap on the wedding photographer who ended up not having the proper equipment to deal with our ceremony location so all of our “together” shots post-wedding are disembodied faces. Amber kindly remedied the situation for us while she was here.
Of course the hardest part is choosing what to print. Originally I thought just a couple of copies of one of the more traditional portrait shots for parents/grandparents. But after living with them for a week and doing my own post-processing on her raw images I’m starting to like more and more of them and am also contemplating a mosaic of the artier shots she took for our own wall somewhere. They seem a little less egotistical than a traditional portrait and it would be fantastic to have some of Amber’s art on our walls along with all of Drew’s family’s art…
But, I still have to choose what to print and frame as gifts. I figure mother’s day is coming up before too long so it would be a nice surprise to pop in the mail. Oh, the decisions! Feel free to ring in on your favorite!
