I know I am late in seeing these, but these photos should never die.

Simply amazing, I only show my wife the best images on the web... She looked at these ones three times.

Thanks for sharing and making me think the images I took on the weekend were just family happy snaps

Cheers.

Thats great. I love the super stealth mode, capturing the action as it happening (or making it appear as such with the last couple). Really an inspiration to where I would like to be heading with my non sports, people shots!

Thanks for posting these.

Dear Shay,
you are a big jerk.

Dear Shay's client/friend,
you are an even bigger jerk!

If MrsIt sees these, my proposal and resulting shots will pale in comparison!

(excellent, excellent stuff

)

Oh my! Hahahaha. I have been most inconsiderate, and apologize profusely for my uber-jerkiness!

And another thank you to those who recently responded that were not harmed or potentially harmed by my careless post

Exquisite. I'm speechless...

Making your own destiny, that is what separates the "good" from the "great" among us. True "greatness" in this thread.

Bravo and bravissimo Shay!

... and you are so fortunate to have such a lovely and talented assistant!

(Jen, take a bow.)

Such a story this young couple gets to tell, and now to show! I hope they are blessed with children who can share in this story.

Wow!

***ian408*** · Apr-30-2007, 06:55 PM #47

I always like looking at your shots. Light & composition are just great.
You and Jen are a great team and your hard work is evident.

WOW!!! Thank you everyone for your moving comments, it makes our job even more enjoyable when so many enjoy the images too.

If the measure of an artist's work is the emotion that it invokes in it's viewers then ... I cried!
Absolutely beautiful!!!

Can't really say much more... these are breathtaking.

Anyone know Mrs. It's e-mail address?

Shay/Jen-

These are spectacular. I really could not imagine a better storyline or the people behind the cameras who captured it.

Bravo!

Interesting, I found myself tearing up putting the post together. They were an emotional couple and that no doubt spills over into the photos!

Thank you all for the comments!

dogwood · May-01-2007, 10:10 PM #59

Yup-- quite the series. Very, very, very nice!

One picture is worth a thousand words...but you're story is a killer.
