Friday, I had the honor to be with my best friend Rob and his girlfriend Jen for a little photo shoot at Southern University. Jen and Rob were both on the swim team together. Rob had asked me to take some photos of them around the campus, and of course I couldn't say no.
So of course there's a little more to this story. Rob told me earlier in the week that he is getting ready to propose to Jen. Rob wanted to go back to Southern where they first met, to ask the BIG QUESTION. Jen was led to believe that we were just taking a few photos around campus. So I asked Rob when am I gonna know when your going to do this. He told me the signal will be a card that he's going to give her first. Rob told me that he has never given a card, "birthday", " x-mas" or "get well soon" to Jen before.
After a few minutes, Rob got down to one knee and pulled out the ring : )
I don't think that Jen even read the card. I had a feeling once she saw the card she knew something was up.
AND SHE SAID YES!!!!!!!
I saw this price checking machine with the red laser, bar code reader, in this small store we went to. I put the ring on the shelf and fired away. It was pretty neat to see the different designs you get from the scanner.
CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!!!!
SO....
whens the big date?????

How freakin' fun is that?! Awesome shots, as always. They are so lucky to have that moment in pictures. And I am in awe of your creative mind--the scanner idea?! Very cool.
Is anyone else old enough to remember 'spirographs'--the little plastic drawing toys from the 70's? That's what your scanner shot reminds me of.
Awesome session - what a great opportunity for a true "engagement shoot."
