Megan+Carly // Downtown Durham Engagement Session

Megan and Carly met at a gym when they lived in North Carolina (Carly went to UNC and Megan to NC State). They lived in Durham for a while and it still holds a special place in their hearts, so they packed up their backgammon game and adorable mugs and hauled themselves back here from Lexington, Kentucky to have their engagement session with us. We had this planned for a long time and they were already in from out of state when both Geoff and myself came down with fevers and a sickness similar to the plague, so we awkwardly waved hello at them from about 10 feet away when we first met them as to not spread the contamination. Our jokes were far more awkward and made even less sense than they usually do, and my already poor ability to give verbal instructions to my clients based on pictures in my head became even poorer, yet somehow Megan and Carly appeared to have a good time (or they’re at least humoring us).

Despite our illnesses, we still had a great time romping around the Bull City with these two. I especially enjoyed that Carly is barely 5′ tall and I did not need my step stool to photograph her. They handled all obstacles (and parking cones) in stride, and our biggest hurdle was them being cool with the new Ghostbusters remake while Geoff tried desperately to verbalize that the original Ghostbusters is a national treasure that should probably have at least a few monuments in its honor. We talked politics and dogs and they told us about their wedding and Carly wore really cute shoes while Megan made me want to cut all my hair off again.

Allyssa+Ryan on a Pumpkin Patch Farm

Every once in a while you run into a couple who is willing to take off their shoes and lie in a giant vat of corn kernels and cover everything except for their heads for you.

Allyssa and Ryan live in Fayetteville where Ryan is stationed at Fort Bragg (he’s a medic in the army), but they were willing to travel up to Durham to get couple pictures taken. They’ve been together for a few years and have made it through Ryan’s year-long deployment and decided, “Hey. You know what? We should have some pictures. Particularly buried up to our heads in corn kernels.” Well, maybe the conversation didn’t go quite like that, but it might’ve.

They enjoy cats and the Walking Dead and unusual pumpkins (Ryan picked out a strange oblong-shaped pumpkin that can really only lay down and sit there. It took Allyssa a little bit longer to find hers… and she debated between several odd ones before choosing a French pumpkin that looked like it was covered in peanut shells). They are adorably in love and we enjoyed their company immensely… running around a farm, cautiously petting goats, and observing the cutest little spotted pig of all time.
