Portraits by Bobby McFall: Melissa and Paul's Engagement Sesssion

Fun engagement/family session today! A couple of bumps and bruises along the way...and I shouldn't forget to mention the pile of wet leaves...but...fun session! Paul's children, Rylie and Gannon had lots of interesting ideas for posing, and Rylie even took a few pictures using my 30D and 70-200 lens. (One is included here.) Paul's mom, Brenda, braved the cool, windy weather to keep an eye on the kids while we did the engagement photos. And as you'll see here, "We start and end with family."

Melissa and Paul, I'm really looking forward to working with you next August. If today is any indication of how fun your wedding will be, then I predict it's going to be a blast!

I can explain...a certain photographer thought it would be a great idea to make a leaf pile, and have everyone jump in it. Which they did. Rylie wound up on top of Gannon. Everyone shot back up as quickly as they landed because the leaves were wet just beneath the surface. Not all ideas are great ones...
