Life has been busy for me the past year. Between starting a new job, moving into a new flat, and doing some volunteer work, I feel like it’s just been a hazy 2019 to 2020 year. Consequently, some things have suffered, obviously, my blog was one of those things I grossly neglected. But now that I’m huddled up in my new flat (which is still undergoing some construction) I have lots of time to devote to updating my blog and actually my entire website. So you may see some welcome changes in the coming weeks. Anyway, enough of that. Let me show off Steph’s portrait session.
Meet Marilys and Dario. They met each other online and set up a date at a Jazz Festival that was happening in town. Marilys was a little suspicious of Dario cause his profile picture was a bit crazy looking and Dario was a bit concerned because she has told him she would be wearing a white dress; but once they both met each other, it was pretty safe to say they were inseparable. By the time of their session they had been together for three years and had just a handful of photos of them together, so they figured they should change that. And so they did.
The Lichtenfelds moved from Chicago, Illinois to Austria after Alexandra got a job at an international school here in Vienna. And from the conversation we had, they have been loving it ever since their arrival. Kai, who is five years old, has settled into a kindergarten here and is just a rambunctious bundle of fun! We had fun running around and watching him do cartwheels (brace yourself Olympics of 2028, he's gonna take you by storm!)
Between finding a place to call home and then moving into said place and then all the things that came along with it to do, I had neglected my camera for far longer than I had intended. So I posted in a Facebook group that I've gotten quite fond of and have been pretty active in, saying that I was looking to let my camera see the light of day and that I wondered if anyone would allow me to take their picture for 30 minutes. Kam Kibash was the first person to respond. Kam was from Kazakhstan and lived there till she met her now husband and moved to Vienna. She is incredibly talented.
