I guess I can’t officially say goodbye, but the school year is definitely winding down and rather quickly. My days have been filled with a couple last minute senior sessions, grad card designs, and getting the Class of 2011 info put together. How it’s that time of year already absolutely floors me! Here is a little peek at a few images from Rachel’s session (who by the way is pretty dang cool) the other day.

My season kicks into full swing this week with seniors and engagement sessions and my wedding season starts next week. I’m so looking forward to getting back into the groove of things and hustle and bustle, but I was not expecting to start it off in the hole. Last week, out of nowhere (after spending the previous week out of the office) the flu got a hold of me. So that to do list that wasn’t all that intimidating is now looking a little scarier. I’m behind on emails right now, so if you’re waiting on one, know that I’m not ignoring you. Now, let’s not let this blog sit empty and unrefreshed for another day.
Brady took me fishing in his friend’s pond and out around the farm last fall.
Honking his horn of course!

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve had someone say, “I wish I had known about you when we got married,” I’d probably be out shopping right now, trying to figure out where I’m going to spend all of this money at. Instead I usually stand there and want to scream back, “But you know me NOW!”
Most couples, at least the couples that I photograph, get how important wedding photography is. After all, when the day has come and gone, the flowers are dead and your food is gone, you’re only going to have your wedding images. However, you really can be photographed professionally again in your life. You don’t even have to wait until you have kids or hit that next milestone. So many couples are fantastic about making sure that they have beautiful wedding images that they can pass down for decades to come, but then they don’t have any beautiful images of themselves again for years until they have kids and decide to get their family photo done, and then there are some who don’t even do that.
Then there are those other couples who either tried to save a buck on their wedding photographer and got back images that they were less than happy about, or in Fort Wayne I’ve heard of quite a few couples, who to this day haven’t received ANY images from their wedding (I’m talking years later). Those two situations are a real bummer, and while you aren’t ever going to be able to have a redo on the moments of your wedding day, you can at least still get some awesome images of you and your husband or wife.
My point though, you really don’t have to have a reason to have a session! I know that’s just crazy talk to some people, but I promise you that in 60 years when you, your spouse, or your kids are going back through photos and they come across these images of just you two, that you and they will be sooooo incredibly happy that you didn’t wait around for a reason. Oh, and p.s. I also have a payment plan available, so you can get rid of that excuse.
Email me at anna@annalynchmcclary.com today! No more excuses, don’t wait until tomorrow, I love shooting couples and we always have fun during those fun and relaxed sessions. Here are just a few of my favorite non-wedding day couples shots.
