Sandles in Oregon, yeah right! these are faked. haha you guys look awesome!

Robert Liberman says:

Everyone sees your pictures and compliments the photographer (deservedly) or how lovely, beautiful and cute you both are. What II see are two young people falling in love over and over again with the same person in each picture. A couple of the photos show another truth---with the two of you hugging, there is a suggestion of both losing your balance and tipping over; literally heads over heels in love. Every day, when you say goodbye or hello to each other, give a hug and the glow will last forever. Dad/Bob

(05.21.11 @ 03:41 PM)

These two make a cute enough team without even adding their adorable dog to the mix... see what I mean?!

leinhardtengblog08.jpg
leinhardtengblog09.jpgleinhardtengblog10.jpgMy favorite of the day!

leinhardtengblog11.jpgDiana was such a good sport. Not only was she freezing without her coat on, but she was perfectly willing to sit on the tracks for me :)
