I heart faces ~ Photojournalism photo challenge

couple on the porch

I’m never sure if my photo fits just right in the theme, but, I took this photo of my cousin and his wife this weekend and fell in love with everything about it. There’s a story in this picture. What story does it tell you?

    It is a GREAT photo, though.

    It is a very interesting picture, definitely a story look to it as you said. She looks forlorn, sad or disappointed. He looks a tad frustrated. Are they trying to get pregnant and having trouble perhaps? That's my best guess. Or maybe he forgot their anniversary, lol? I hope it's not anything sad though.

    I want to know what he was thinking?

    I like it. It's understated and charming.

    this was at the end of the shoot. he had been uncooperative and goofy the
    whole time. i asked them to stand on the porch, their almost 2 year old was
    beside me crying for them. this was right when they got up on the porch,
    before i gave them anymore direction and i snapped it. i'm sure he was
    thinking, “when is she going to be done!?”

    They both look sad, like something bad just happened. GREAT picture, you're right it DOES tell a story though. Looks like it should be a cover on a movie.

    She looks very troubled – and he looks very deep in thought. His mind looks a million miles away.

    That's a gorgeous shot – it brings out so much emotion.

    It is a really great shot Melissa … and I just wanted to add that I think Milo and your cousin do favor ALOT! Has anyone ever said that before? It's like a grown up version, with darker hair of course.

    I think she just asked to buy another horse and he said “You're out of your mind.”
