Jacquelyn was ever-so-happy, and smiled a lot during our session... while her husband stayed very quiet & gazed constantly at his wife. After shooting downtown in the cold we all went back inside the hotel, where several people gave us huge smiles & watched us shoot in the lobby. When we worked in the main hallway, I thought one little boy was just going to jump right in (I love when they do that!) :D We soon found our way back to the prepared guest room, and the first photos came out kinda like this:
