I walked past my favorite shop window this morning and noticed that the proprietor, a portrait photographer, had changed his display. I can only imagine what he must have said to this poor couple -- lovely people who care for each other, no doubt -- to capture this particular moment in time, then tack it up proudly to attract new business."Saying 'cheese' is such a cliche. Say something more clever, like 'obituary' or 'bubonic plague' . . .
"Now, think of your last argument. That's good. Perfect. Imagine your partner has just eaten onions. Many many onions. Yes, just like that."
One of these days John and I are going to drag Inez over there and order up a family portrait package. I'm just telling you now, so you can leave space on your refrigerator for our holiday card.

Drives home the Julianna Moore line from The Kids Are All Right:
"...marriage is hard... Just two people slogging through the shit, year after year, getting older, changing. It's a fucking marathon, okay?"
Except that I think this might actually be this couple's wedding day!
Ha! Well then, I guess life can't knock you on your ass if you're not a romantic.
INEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm clearing out that space right now. Seriously--I'd love to see what this gifted artist could do with the three of you!
can you make mine a 24" x 36" with a magnet back. i want it to take up the whole fridge. also, some small bike decals would be good. and if you could possibly get the couple from the photo to join your photo session, that would be superb.
