We finally did it!\u00a0 Got in front of the lens that is:)\u00a0 Well I have to say I use Chris as my subject all the time, which I think he hates, but I haven’t been in front of the camera in a long time so I thought this was a perfect idea!\u00a0 I didn’t tell Chris what we were doing or where we were going- he was just driving and I had the directions(plus I picked out his clothes which he thought was weird).\u00a0 Usually we get in a fight about how I can’t read the GPS or I tell him to turn when it’s too late, etc. but since there was literally NOTHING near Renault Winery<\/a> we found it just fine- didn’t even need the GPS.<\/p>\n

A little back story for you all.\u00a0 Chris and I got engaged on a trip we took to the Hudson Valley<\/a> wineries\u00a0 5 years ago and since then we have gone to the wineries in Long Island<\/a> , 2 times back to Hudson Valley and last year to Mendoza<\/a> Argentina.\u00a0 We REALLY (OK I<\/em> really<\/em>) want to go to Napa Valley but that will have to wait.\u00a0 Hopefully not too much longer & will we make it there.\u00a0 Anyway the Renault winery was smaller and was a nice spot for photos, plus they have FREE wine tastings.\u00a0 Can’t beat that.\u00a0 We took home 4 bottles and they are not too bad for NJ wine- ha!\u00a0 This session was extra special because we had our 4 year anniversary 2 days earlier.\u00a0 Many thanks to Kevin<\/a> of KRN Photography for coming out to Renault Winery to photograph us.\u00a0 You can view his blog post on this session here<\/a>.\u00a0 And my session of him and his wife, Kelly, in Philly and South Jersey here<\/a>.\u00a0 We had a great time walking, talking, drinking wine, shooting and having dinner.<\/p>\n

And to all my clients I now know how it feels to be in front<\/em> of the camera so I hope I make you as relaxed as possible because that is when we are able capture the best moments, those moments when you let your guard down and don’t even realize the camera is pointed at you.\u00a0 Those are the images I want you to remember.<\/p>\n

These are some of my favorites from the day:)\u00a0 I need to get some framed and up on my walls- I put it on my to do list for 2011(yes I have a list already).\u00a0 The grape leaves were this beautiful yellow color- loved it.\u00a0 I think these next 2 are my most favorite!<\/p>\n
