PIF: The Parsons

Here's where we ended...


Now here's how we started. John Michael Cooper and his wife, Dalisa have been on a road trip the past month or so and came up with a cool idea to do a Pay It Forward project for photographers and their families. Everything was free, and in return you must do a PIF shoot for another photographer's family (for free, of course). I chose the Parsons (who have never had their pictures taken, and now have to find a photographer's family to shoot), and here's how it went down (let's just say I was a little bit nervous before the shoot)...

This morning, it was looking a little gloomy, but the weather gods smiled down on us and we ended up with perfect partly cloudy skies and golden, yummy light right at sunset. Ashley came up with the awesome idea to bring a ton of bright colored balloons (side note to all of our clients: we LOVE sessions like this, so if you have something in mind, let us know!). Awesomeness ensued! Check it out...

You rock...the balloons look awesome, and I had no idea about the whole PIF thing, but I love the idea! Way to go...
It was wonderful to hang with you two the other night and your meatballs (no pun intended!) I love the pictures! Just tell me that you at least thought of me and my family of six when deciding to PIF?!!! I was in the running, right?!!
