what an awesome shoot tiff! This shoot made me think of their wedding. It, to my knowledge, was the only wedding were we stood in poring down rain and shot portraits.I was so nervous about breaking the gear. I wasn’t nervous about lindsay and joe though. You two were completely awesome! thanks guys for being one of the reasons we love what we do. – jonathan

Rainy day wedding post is right this way.

then again when we told him that of all the boats to choose from,

we wanted the one below. -tif

apparently this ratty old boat is a renegade!

word is, this boat had escaped a few times before we decided to take it for a spin. -tif

coopers — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 12:06:33 +0000

they are a younger and cooler version of another family we know.

(inside joke) – jonathan

so i got the news that bethann is actually having their newest little one today!

what great timing. :)-tif

I love brett, he’s so funny.

the magority of the pictures i have of this guy are of him tackeling brian or pulling mom’s hair (in an “i love you” kind of way)

he’s lucky too that both of them just laugh at him! -tif

i’m not to sure what happened in this series of photos

but i love it! ha ha! – jonathan

wow.. these are the leaves to use if you ever are in need of TP in the woods!

they are huge! – jonathan

bethann is really the cutest pregnant person ever. she can hide that baby with a leaf! -tif

coopers — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:38:34 +0000

matt is jonathan’s little brother. that makes us all related. -tif

awwwww…. i get it :) – jonathan

congratulations little brother! i do hope that baby pops out soon. – jonathan

ummm…… those look good on you? – jonathan

watch where you point that think laura!

Seriously that thing looks like it needs a flag preceded by a truck with lights on letting you know its coming! ;) – jonathan

i love this face, mostly because you make it too.

must be hereditary or something. -tif

also congrats on still having hair mathew.

i figured you’d be bald like me by now. – jonathan

thanks guys, hopefully Caleb will be coming around soon,

and we can get some shots of him too! -tif

great shoot tiff! sorry i wasn’t able to make it along guys.

i can’t wait to take some baby pictures in the future. – Jonathan

mike + emily = (insert girl name here)

coopers — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:57:31 +0000

guess what kind of shoot this is :)

i love it when we do maternity shoots right before the babies due date.

…and emily is really about to pop, we weren’t even sure she would make it to the shoot! -tif

i met emily and mike at thier home in regent square. as soon as i walked in, i knew i wanted to shoot inside the house.

the dining room is sea foam green! awesome. -tif

i’m diggin that light tiff.

it kinda reminds me of a skeleton shirt.- jonathan

while we were shooting against the wall mike noticed that it was a map of the town,

unfortunately their house was covered by a giant bird wing. -tif

this is on really sweet wall!

bummer about the monster birds covering your house though- jonathan

it’s the red one, up on the left, i hope monster red birds never cover our house! -tif

haha!- jonathan

oh the sun…. how i miss thee :( – jonathan

beautiful shot tiff- jonathan

i’m really liking the scarf with the eyes emily- jonathan

again with all the color,

the bed is super adorable, greens, yellows, browns. it felt so warm even in February.

maybe we should get a billion colored pillows, jonathan? -tif

this is a really fun series of photos- jonathan

mike and emily were great to work with, they both had alot of fun and laughed the whole time i was there.

good luck with the little one, i’m sure she’ll will be just as much fun as you are! -tif

congratulations on the soon coming child! give us a shout if you need any photos after she pops out!

jordan & brandon + wendell

coopers — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:05:08 +0000

what an awesome couple!

it was really an honor to feel like i was part of the celebration surrounding her pregnancy.

I did the shoot solely at frick park.

I was really liking all the light that was coming through the bare trees. – jonathan

one thing that i found really amazing was that both jordan and brandon work in the education department.

jordan works for google which sounds amazing

and brandon just showed me his really cool online gaming website for kids!

click the pic to be magically transported to his gaming sight- jonathan

jordan and brandon could definitely both model for a living.

jordan was a great dresser who reminded me of a good friend of mine

who pretty much was a model for gap – jonathan

I got so nervous bringing jordan through the woods.

my biggest fear is hurting someone cause i am asking them to climb on something

or stand on something or hang from something. She, with brandon’s help, did great though! – jonathan

thank you for both being so loving with each other and for being so laid back an natural.

it helped so much! – jonathan

i love this side shot. -tif

these are great belly shots jonathan, the perspective is awesome -tif

i’m not gonna lie. having jordan somewhat disrobe in front of onlookers in the park was a little awkward,

but she handled it like a trooper. – jonathan

just look at those eyes!

look at them! – jonathan

wendell got a little taste of mommy here

fun! – jonathan

“squirl!”

haha! that’s what i had to say to him to get his attention.- jonathan

we just saw “up” a few days ago. (best movie ever) -tif

thank you two or umm three or actually four.

thank you four for a great afternoon!

give me a call if you know when you will be going into labor.

maybe we will be free to catch you at the hospital for some of that birthing drama – jonathan

lynn and david

coopers — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:05:01 +0000

i had a lot of fun on this shoot. lynn and david were really relaxed and that made for some great photos

there was this really awesome pond with water that looked black as night

i caught there reflection in it.

when i first posted it, it was right side up. but everyone kept turning there head to look at it

but now its up side down, which makes them right side up. right? – jonathan

i could look at this picture for a really long time- jonathan

i was so hot and thirsty at this point and this fountain looked mighty refreshing. i think david was comtemplating the same thing i was.

jumping in! – jonathan

haha! i love this. its something that happens when you get married.

you start to dress alike. and no, they didn’t plan to wear the same flip flops- jonathan

i had to keep asking lynn and david to remind me this was a maternity session

they acted so much like newlyweds, these two loved each other and it showed- jonathan

he just gave her a belly a good scratchin. david, its a baby in there, not a golden retriever- jonathan

thank you so much for enduring the heat and being my first maternity shoot. – jonathan

jen and ben

coopers — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:14:48 +0000

this shoot is not from summer, but you will have to settle. i went to do a maternity session with jen but ben was such a ham! he made it into about half of her pictures, but who really minds?
