My Sister is Cooler than Your Sister

or, {MICHEL AND CARY ARE ENGAGED!!!}

One of my personal goals this year is to learn my photography style better. I have a pretty good grasp of what settings exist and what they do. I do not, however, have a good grasp for how to photograph people. Its been an ongoing frustration of mine that I would like to improve (especially before babies. Wait, did I just say that? I think that is the very first time the word "babies" has been written here at Sea and Islands. And swiftly moving on...) I took a few shots for my brother and his fiancee two years ago. And I photographed all of the RIE photo shoots that my Mum and I put together. All of those endeavors resulted in a glaringly obvious I-need-more-practice mindset.To take a step towards this goal, I asked my sister if she and her fiance would like to have some engagement shots taken. They graciously accepted and we set off one COLD Saturday morning to the Duck Pond in North Charleston (Folks, I have never seen so many ducks before! and they are enormous. Brandon carried a stick around with him for a while. I think that goose from his childhood really scarred him.)

Don't be fooled by the lack of ducks in this shot.

Michel and Cary

Her awesome ring (and mug that I wanted to steal)

Isn't she beautiful. Love her!
