nicole tells me her “biological clock is ticking.” proof:

one of the perks of being a husband & wife team is i can count on nicole for being a “pretty subject” to meter exposures using our off-camera strobe before clients step in front of the camera. while clients rarely see these outtakes, they’ve become almost a mini-personal project of capturing the where, when, and why of what is it like to run a husband & wife photography buisness. most of the time were are coming off an emotional high from the ceremony and then quickly switch brain hemispheres to check the camera technical stuff.... groupings, lighting, metering, focus, am i gonna back into a toddler... all while we round up & rally the family and the clock ticks on.

mmmmm.... white linen pants! added bonus: a 77mm lens cap in pocket :)
