Last December I had a call from Cal. (Cal is the local Sun Life rep.) He wanted to buy a Gift Certificate for his wife, Karen as a Christmas Gift. On July 10th Cal came in for the Consultation meeting – alone. This is a rarity I find! Most of the time it is the woman that makes all the arrangements. Cal had some definite ideas of what he wanted. He brought along some samples and we just chatted and I got a chance to know Cal a bit better and I knew I had a feel for what he was looking for. On the 17th of July they both came in, with their beautiful dog, Belle.
I must say that this was one of my favorite sessions in a long time! I could just feel the closeness between Cal and Karen – in fact sometimes I think they didn’t even realize I was there!
Here are some of my favorite images from their session…

And, of course, Belle is an important part of their lives as well…


When they came in for their Premiere Showing viewing appointment, I played them a slide show of their images, using Celine Dion’s “The Power of Love” and Kenny Chesney’s “Me and You” and I have to admit that I got goosebumps watching these images appear on the screen accompanied to some powerful, romantic songs! Following are my two absolute favorite images!


Cal wrote in an email following the Premiere Showing appointment…
“This is the year we both turn “50″, so we decided we would like to preserve this time forever. Marlene made us feel so relaxed and at home in her studio. She was so patient with our puppy (and us too!), that the time we were there flew by. When we went to view the pictures with her, she had made a video with music and it was so touching. We are so pleased with our photos and can’t wait to show off our pieces of art that Marlene created for us. Thankx Marlene, you made turning “50″ lots of fun.”
I LOVE clients like this! Thanks Cal and Karen (and Belle).
