Erin & Taylor
I have to say a huge thank you to Michelle Rose of Three Blondes and a Camera for this session. As most of you know, Three Blondes were our wedding photographers, and they have been a HUGE inspiration to Drew & I. Before we got married we weren't sure if we wanted to get into wedding photography because it seemed so stressful. But after seeing how Michelle, Lisa, Jamie & Laura worked during our wedding, our minds were changed. They were so professional, but still knew how to have fun. Our guests were impressed, as well. Michelle is the kind of person that you immediately feel comfortable with the second you meet her. Well, we've been keeping in touch, and she was nice enough to invite Andrea and I to second shoot Erin & Taylor's engagement session with her...and we had such a great time!! She's been so generous with her advice, and I'm grateful that I was given the opportunity to shoot alongside her and learn from her :)
As for Andrea, she also got married last year and is a Three Blondes bride. Not only do we have our wedding photographers in common and love photography altogether, we're also Asian and have white husbands named Drew! How weird is that? She randomly found our blog after she googled Three Blondes, so she left a comment, and that's how we became friends! Gotta love the internet. She just joined forces with her friend Renata and they've officially started their photography business. Their work is awesome! Check out their blog to see some of their recent stuff.
On to the models, Erin & Taylor... what a sweet couple. They are a product of match.com - proof that it really can work! They're getting married in May at the Ceresville Mansion, so Michelle thought it would be fun to go to downtown Frederick for their session. That area was perfect. I had no idea it was so cute! In addition to outdoor shots, we were able to get some shots of them inside Starbucks and upstairs in Brewer's Alley where they're having their rehearsal dinner. AND Michelle brought her video light! It was so cool to shoot with that for the first time. I definitely have to buy one of those now. So enough babbling - here are some of the shots I grabbed...
And three lovely ladies: Michelle, Erin...
and Andrea :)

Maria I'm sure Michelle knows that she got awesome subjects/models right!! Great shots, make me want to explore what Frederick has to offer! Good job guys!!
Maria freaking Vicencio. These are AMAZING. Like, so amazing I'm considering not posting mine because you put my shots to shame. :)
I love, love, LOVE the shots you got through the window at Starbucks!
It was so good to see you...and I am severely coveting your 24-70. If it wasn't Canon, I might have just nabbed it at the shoot...
:)
Oh, and cute scarf. :)
Okay, you totally rocked it!!! You inspire me so much Maria! I see your pics and it makes me want to pick up my camera and shoot. The images you got from our session are wonderful. Erin and Taylor are going to die! I don't even have to give them any of mine - yours alone are enough. Thank you and Drea for coming with me on the shoot. You made it so much fun! Love you!! Mich

Seriously - you are a ROCK STAR! I can't say anything else - ROCK STAR! Just quit that job and become a famous photographer, cause that's what's going to happen - I just KNOW IT!
hugs!
I don't even think I need to compliment these anymore than I already have!! So now I'm just going to say that I am in love with your subject. Her fashion sense, her tats and her hair! I'm jealous.
If you could just photoshop my face onto her body, that would be great. Thanks. :-)
