anna: rachael looks like a little sex kitten - MEOW!!! (08/01/10, 10:45)
ryan morck: My favorite is probably the one of the couple on the orange scooter that is taken at a down angle. I just love how the couple and scooter pop out against the asphalt. Also I like how natural and happy the couple looks as the girl has her arms wrapped around the guy. I always enjoy looking at the photographs you two create!! (08/01/10, 10:55)

Erin Woolsey: sooo these are amazing! i just found your blog and couldn't be more excited to have a great photographer to follow :D one question, the vertical/arial shots, are you just really super tall? Or are you using location to gain height? Or are you using a ladder?? Or the trusty, hold my camera up high, point and click? :D Thanks for sharing! (28/01/10, 12:20)
