summer's coming.

swimming on land.

i shot these photos of katy and matt yesterday for keep it light. our theme this week was to photograph a couple.

i often walk by this painted wall with fish and other sea creatures, and got the idea for this shoot in mind awhile back. i borrowed my mom's snorkels and pair of fins, and picked up some sassy hawaiian shirts from the thrift store to pull it all together.

here are the results...

kristen and kim.

these ladies are best friends.
kristen lives here in seattle, but kim lives in chicago.
they have me take portraits of them every time she's in town.
here's a few of my favorites we shot this past sunday...
and here's another set i took of them awhile back.
