Erin + Nick

Today was a fun (hot and humid) day with Erin and Nick roaming around my hometown of Jackson, Michigan. I have never shot there, so it was fun to try some different locations and it was a half-way meeting point for everyone so it worked out perfectly.

The park where I wanted to start the session had a big Fall Festival today so we jumped in my car and headed downtown first. I am not sure what Erin and Nick thought of roaming back alleys, climbing run-down fire escapes and climbing over garbage dumpsters, but I think they made for some really cool shots. I hope they agree. Then we headed back to the park for a few shots that well.... parents might be willing to frame as an engagement picture of their children.

I am going to be without my editing computer for a couple days and I am adding several sessions to edit to my "pile" this week. I may not get around to a slideshow for Erin and Nick, so I hope they will enjoy a post with more pictures than usual for a sneak peek post.



A friend, Nicole, whom I have met through the world of photography does a lot of her sessions downtown Jackson. I meant to email her and ask her where the 'star wall' was that she has in some of her photos, but I forgot. So today, as we were in the alley in the above shot, I see another photographer doing a portrait session. I think to myself..that must be her (even though I couldn't see her face). Since we have never met in person, I restrained from interrupting her session and we went on to the next alley. As we are walking back to my car, I see the 'star wall' and also see the same photographer now shooting in front of the wall. I couldn't help it.. "Are you the famous Nicole?" She turned and I think thought I was a lunatic. I formally introduced myself and we had a good laugh over such a random meeting. If you look closely, you can see her in the alley across the street in the picture above ;-)

Here's the 'star wall'.
