kenton & rose: engaged

Sunday, April 29th, 2012

“we have like, two pictures of us together. and we’ve been dating for three years.” my favorite way to start a conversation! i’m not even joking. because 3 minutes into the session we had already increased that number by 500%.

one thing i loved about these two is they are super well rounded! they met in university and are both incredibly “book smart”, but then they would turn around and be like “do you mind if we climb that tree?” um, no. no i don’t.

the day before we were to meet, i got an e-mail from rose that said: ” So we had a bit of a contact lense solution disaster. Long story short is that Kenton has a really swollen eye and it is very red. This would not make for good photos. I am not sure how long it is going to take to heal.” close to the end of the session, kenton made reference to the time rose “sprayed poison in his eye” and i had to know the rest of the story. turns out kenton was trying a new contact solution. when he first put the contact in, his eye stung and assuming it was something on the contact, they removed it and rose (who is a chemistry teacher) proceeded to spray more of the solution into his eye to clean it out at which point kenton starts screaming. little did they know, this particular solution needs to be mixed and react BEFORE applying it to your contact. thankfully by the next morning, it was looking way better and we were still able to do photos. oh yeah, and he didn’t go blind. the two photos below are from while they were telling the story. rose looks sheepish and kenton…a little smug, i think!
