The Dip Kiss

Couple Dip Kissing

Let’s take a moment to honor the age-old tradition and beauty of the dip kiss.

There’s just something fun, playful, romantic and passionate about a man dipping his woman for a smooch. If there’s a way to sneak in a dip kiss into a photo shoot, I will try my darndest to do so. This particular couple makes me smile because this moment came during a rather intense time of the family photo shoot. Meeting for a quick mini-shoot after work, their two girls were having a moment of sibling rivalry, so I excused these parents to come with me for a few moments to play in the fall colors and take a moment just the two of them. The funny thing about photographing a dip kiss is that no matter who the couple is or what the surrounding circumstances are, the dip kiss almost always starts with a mini argument. There’s always a playful struggle on how to do it, who’s in charge, how long, who’s watching, and of course the fear of being dropped. Somehow they always work it out and to this day I’ve never seen a girl dropped.  Not once. Way to go fellas. Cheers to the dip kiss!
