Jill + Cameron - Northport Engagement Session

He said he noticed her when she checked in to the dorm the first day of school.
He tried, as she would recall, to pathetically make an attempt at flirting. 
They would later meet again while working together.
She tried hard not to pay attention to him, he would try even harder to get her attention.
Guess who won? 

Love at first sight?
I believe in it.
And I'm sure Cameron did too when he saw Jill's smile...cause I swear it could stop traffic.
It's infectious, beautiful and always present...especially when Cameron is around.
To say she lights up when she is in his company is an understatement.

Soooo here is the low down of how the session went....

Me: 'okay, make a serious face'.

They try to pose 'expressionless' for umm a half a second.
Cam whispers something to Jill.
Jill's lips start to smirk and she tries realllllly hard to hold it in.
Cam turns his head slightly to look at her...and the game is all over.

The sly smile quickly turns gargantous and she leans into him laughing hysterical.
He smiles in spite of himself for a second and falls back quickly into 'Cary Grant' mode -
like he doesn't have an effect on her and her laughter is not making him all giggly inside.

It was like that the entire session. 
 They we're playful, fun and freakin' happy!

Best friends...

They were up for any challenge I threw at them.
I love that.
This moment was caught right before they tried to swing in unison as high as they could go.
It sounds super easy - but it's sooo not.


We found a bunch of great places to photograph in little nooks around Northport.
No matter how many times I have been down there to shoot - there is always another spot that gets discovered on an adventure.


See what I'm talking about. He makes her laugh...


Just beauuutiful Jill!
You are going to be a 'knock' out bride!


Cameron looking pretty fine.

We found this great little place tucked away in a back alley.
What was so amazing was the foliage that decorated a wall.
It was Nov. 27th...pretty wonderful to still find color somewhere.

I forgot to mention how bitterly cold it was.
It didn't help that we were right on the water either.
Freezing, freezing, freezing.
But they braved it and snuggled up to get warm.


See how good they are to me?
They took their coats off for me in ummm 30 degree weather.
xo

Silly and playful, but I did catch a quite moment in between.


This next one kinda reminds me of old school Hollywood.
Cam has this debonair quality about him and the tie and jacket kicked it up a notch.
Cary Grant-ish, with his leading lady?


Love them!


Seriously Jill...you rock!


Last but not least, I would be remiss not to have included the newest addition to their family, 'Shea'.
(yes, named after the stadium ; )
He made a quick appearance during the e-session and had a boat load of admirers.


Thank you both for meeting me on such a busy weekend.
I loved watching the natural ease in how you interacted with one another.
It was fabulous being able to see such a bright spark between you both.

Looking forward to photographing your big day this July, ooooh and I almost forgot...the 'Hang Over' session (yeahhhh).

Look out Hamptons...we're coming soon!
