Fun

Loving this one today.

playful

I spent the morning with these two at their home in German Village and after thoroughly wearing out their 9 month old (no nap, hanging around home, a trip to the Schiller Park, and back home and in and out of the bath and then into bed) we were able to grab about 10 uninterrupted minutes of just the two of them.  I've been making it a priority lately to try to get couples together during family sessions.  It is so rare that once we have children that we focus quite as much on recording that relationship.  Cristina and Jeremy were so lovely and it was fun to see them be comfortable enough to show this side.  Especially after a long relationship and marriage.   More of Will shortly.

Real Love

  I always wait until I have images up and see what comes to my mind while they are in front of me and that is what I write.  All I have running through my head tonight while looking at these beautiful friends of mine is Real Love by John Lennon.  

I can't say enough how much real love is in this family.  They are blessed with Grant, who is truly a light, gorgeous and sweet Maggie, and their beloved Atalee who is in heaven.  I am inspired by the joy and love in their eyes.  

"Real Love"

John Lennon

All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

Thought I'd been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
Yes it's real, yes it's real love
It's real, yes it's real love...
