cody’s proposal to sheana!!

these two look familiar?? Sheana and Cody have modeled for me for years. I’m thankful to have them not only as fun and smiley puppets, but also as really good friends. They have been an item for a loooooooooong time. And last year at her baby sister’s wedding, Cody and I had casually discussed a paparazzi-style proposal! fast forward a year (when cody was finally ready to be her forever roommate) I get a message from Cody. The ring he designed was in from the jeweler and he wanted to know my schedule. They love the outdoors and fishing is always, always on their weekend agenda. So to lure the bride-to-be to her proposal in the woods at wilderness park (and not have it be obvious as to why I was there), was actually not a challenge at all. I asked them to help me with a fun shoot..a video, in fact.  of course they are always excited and willing models, so our date was set. Fishing poles and ring tackle box were packed and a signal was agreed upon with cody. Um…TALK ABOUT NERVES! Cody and I were pouring sweat… Sheana got attacked by some itchy weeds, the mosquitos were out to kill. After sliding down a mud bank and destroying our shoes,

it was time.

The images tell the rest of the story.  click here to see my first video shoot!

(and who knows…my ‘creativity in motion’  may wind up on my session menu someday)

P.S.  if you have an aversion to kissing…look away. cause there’s lots!

the black and white images below are the real deal, folks. the proposal as it happened.

(it was re-inacted for the video)
