Clary I bet you'll be great on Wednesday! Best wishes to Hughes on starting K-G :)

wonderful. them. you. xoxox

I can't wait to see you Wednesday!!
My little Riley started Kindergarten today...it sure does tug at a momma's heart strings, doesn't it??

Looking forward to tomorrow!

Good luck with everything, your stuff is just beautiful My son starts Kindergarten Monday and I don't know where the time went.

Okay, this is going to be super lame, but I'm going to admit it anyway! us. My favorite summer song right now is "Jack and Diane" by John Mellencamp. My little guy's name is Jack and my mom's name is Diane. She decided that would be "their" song (with some lyrical changes in it...it's not quite appropriate as is). My favorite line includes "Diane's Jackie's Maw Maw, sitting at the bar." Yup, that is definitely more appropriate! But, we sing that song all the time and Jack dances around and laughs every time. There is nothing better than that laugh!

That is a great question! There are so many good ones and I just can't get enough of summer :-)
Hmmm...I guess I would have to say pretty much anything by Bob Marley, because it takes me back to Jamaica, which is one of our favorite places to visit. Everything is so relaxed and "No Problem", which also happens to be the name of my favorite drink we had there. Another good one is Sugar Magnolia by the Grateful Dead, because I'm a "summer love in the spring, fall, and winter."

It's such a lame song, but The Ataris' "Boys of Summer" always reminds me of good summer times. :) I remember one summer driving around to the lakes and fairs and all around the state jamming to that song on the radio. It was played CONSTANTLY.

Other favorite summer memories are:
-taking a big RV with 15 friends to this music festival - Cornerstone. Such a blast.
-many many summers spending time at the lakes -fishing, rocking the raft, paddle boat rides, tubing behind the speedboat, etc.
-movie nights in the park! Love them.

Oh, and I love The National. :) Love love love.

excellent playlist- you have some of my favorites!

i'll never for get the summer i started driving - ah to be 16 again. and i started driving carpool for a few girls in my class. the first afternoon we drove home i took off the t-tops (do they even make cars with t-tops anymore???) and we blared playin with the boys - by kenny loggins (from top gun). of course every song on that soundtrack was awesome so we would let it the rest of the tape (wow - i'm showing my age!) play on...wind blowing in our hair, best friends in the car, not a care n the world. those were the days!

The song that seems to be stuck in my head most this summer is "In The Sun" from Zooey Deschanel. Don't really know why...it just keeps popping in!!

I know it sounds silly, but "Dancin' In the Streets" reminds me of that summer the Cardinals used it as their theme song, so hearing it makes me think of happy baseball fans in the summer time. And by the way - thanks for everything this weekend - we are so excited to see the proofs!

Whoops. I put "Dancin' in the Streets" when really I meant "The Heat is On" - I guess they are both good summer songs...but upon viewing my late 80's Cardinals t-shirt, I realized I submitted the wrong song!

I'd have to say "Summer Breeze". It always makes me imagine lying in a field of jasmine with my love and just soaking up the sun until it sets :)

I love summer. I love the heat. I love it all. Recent faves: Better Together – Jack Johnson – Not only was this played at our favorite breakfast spot in Kauai on our honeymoon but now I love singing it to our 7-month old son. Stay (Wasting Time) – Dave Matthews Band – Oh, this just makes me want to lounge on a blanket in the park on a hot day with my man. Oldie but good summer song: Paradise City – Guns and Roses – This is about being 14 and having awesome parents who would take me and my girlfriends to state fairs, carnivals and the like to play. We would cruise the midway testing every ride with the music the carnival workers played blaring in the background, specifically Guns and Roses. I can still feel the wind in my hair, my best friends next to me, going in crazy circles on some ride, laughing hysterically, without a care in the world.

Blue Rocking Chair by Kenny Chesney. The summer we were building our home my husband, son, and I had to live in a camper. Yes, I said LIVE in a camper. Every night when I cooked dinner in the tiny little oven with 2 burners on top, we would put that CD on (because it was stuck in the CD player and all we had to listen to) and open the windows and feel like we were truly alive. I don't even like Kenny Chesney that much - but when I hear that song - I remember that difficult summer in a camper - when my family was closer and happier than ever.

Summer 2005 I was in my third trimester of pregnancy with my first son. I would always have the radio on while I got ready for the day, and at that time, the radio was playing the pussycat dolls--don't cha--over and over again. Three mornings in a row that song was played on the radio, and during its entirety my baby would start moving around/kicking like crazy. Every time I hear that song now it reminds me of that hot summer and feeling baby kicks from inside. :)

That would have to be; "All she wants to do is dance." by Don Henley. Reminds me of a carefree time hanging out with good friends, staying out late and closing a few places down.

I am right now putting feelers out for who wants to come with me to this shin dig because I've GOTS to meet you :)

Awesome Contest and super cute kids!

how fun! What a gorgeous family. dreamy photos...

Love the pictures and love the camera! A wedding would be amazing with this camera! How unique and fun the images would be!

What a fun idea! I love the pics you took - your kids are adorable!

film is magical! i love these colors and i love my holga too :) which lab do you send your rolls?

Beautiful, Clary! Would love to give this camera a shot!

how fun! love how different these pictures are. thanks for the opportunity!

I love these images! I really struggle with allowing myself to take fun snapshots of my own family. How wonderful to have that delete button taken out of the picture all together.

film is the best!
awesome images!!! it's so unique and so film! :)
I want to buy a film camera for months now. I really hope I win!!!
:) (photography@biancavalentim.com)

I want your holga touch..... I think mine must be broken. Must. Get. New. One. Maybe i'll win...? :)

Your pictu always make life look so much more fun! I love this camera--Scott has been looking at getting similar cameras but perhaps I should look into this one. I must admit, we have a film camera that has been sitting around collecting dust these days. Back to it!

Once again STUNNING photos! You never cease to amaze me. (shannon.price8@gmail.com)

I would love the opportunity to ditch all the rules!!!

i love these images! i'd love to give this camera a shot -- i love film but my poor old pentax has sighed it's last sigh :(

I love letting go of the rules and embracing the random results! Haven't had a chance to take film pics for a few years and would LOVE to get back into it!

count me in! ever since your last post on film, i've been shooting with my old film canon rebel GII. i love getting my images back full of surprises!

I have always loved your photography and admire your talent. This camera looks like a great opportunity to get into photography!

You look beautiful in that pic of you and Jettie!! And of course I can't pass up a Clary contest!!

You are so pretty.
These photos are priceless.

LOVE these shots!

oooh ooh ooh - i love new adventures!!! this would be so fun to get the chance at an awesome camera and a lifetime of surprises :) love the pics, too, clary! oh, and did you see my tweet about how my mom told me you'd be doing my maternity and newborn photos? so excited!!!

This is an AWESOME idea! I just held the holga a couple weeks back and thought about what a fun opportunity it would bring. Crossing my fingers for win!

Wow! I'm truly inspired by your lovely photographic skills. Some day I woud love to learn the ways of photography and a camera would be a great way too start!

While I am, of course, looking for mostly digital you would definitely be welcome to bring some film to our wedding! Perhaps for some gorgeous bride&groom photos pre-wedding or on the golf course during the reception? :)

Did you ever announce the winner of your last contest? You asked commenters to list a romantic photo op.

These photos are beautiful. I actually have an old film camera that I still use from time to time. I really do love seeing what happens when I develop the photos. Sometimes they are hilarious. Sometimes they are horrible. It's always a guessing game that I love to play.

Film is so unbelievably romantic, and yet so rare these days. I have always been drawn to images captured in film, they exude such a beautiful softness. Just the excitement of not knowing what your images are going to look like creates such a fun and exciting dynamic. My interest in photography is a bit new, so I would love to get my hands on this bad boy and try it out! Thanks for such a great contest!

I haven't shot film in YEARS! It would be great to play for once... breaking rules is ALWAYS fun! ;)

Photography fascinates and me and I don't have enough money to invest in more than a point and shoot camera - tried to win the contest last time and failed, hope this one is a success!!

Hey Clary! These are gorgeous! And hey, I'm a zoo keeper- so adventure, randomness and well, dirty hands lets say ;) are ALL part of my day job. Now if only I could rock the film Clary-style!

Clary, as usual these photos are AMAZING! I can't believe how big your little ones are getting!

Love these new photos of your family! The look and feel of film pictures are so lovely.

Yes. Want. Now. Thanks. :)

Your family pics always make my heart melt and you're right about the waiting for results. I remember our old impromptu phot sessions and having to wait for days to know if we had a good picture or not. Then jumping over each others shoulders trying to see the pictures first. Well maybe I was the one jumping. Darn you and your tallness.. =)

such fun images! I'd love to try one of these out :)

Clary your creativity has inspired me to look into the beauty that can be captured with great photos! I would love a chance to win the camera, thanks and love from Beau and Ali

Such sweet family photos. I love shooting with film because of the vintage look. Great contest!

Mainly I just wanted to say I'm jealous about the christmas tree farm. I had to get my tree from the home depot. We used to go to the mountains to cut trees as a kid. I miss that. Happy holidays!

Your kids are so adorable!!

I need some randomness while procrastinating writing my dissertation! This camera sounds like a unique way to capture original works of art! I would love it. {alaux3@hotmail.com}

those are just cool. you are quite the amazing photographer :) i love the look of those photos - i'd LOVE to try out that camera :) pick me :) pick me :)

I feel the exact same way...I've been wanting to pick one up forever! :)

I would love to get my hands dirty with a Holga! I love photographing with film and I'm trying to create my own darkroom one of these days...

(mnbaird@gmail.com)

perfect. love love LOVE the photos!

I would love to try a holga with the polaroid back!!!!

OMG! Thank you Clary Photo! I never win anything!

Clary, you are so stinkin' cool. So I'm curious, which model is yours? I am DYING for one of the new FujiFilm Instax cameras too!!!!

ahhhh such great pics, looks like heaven!!!

Clary, your so cute :) Makes me happy that you enjoyed Cali...glad I was able to share a margarita with you there!

Great pics! My husband and I spent a week in San Fran and Napa for our 1 year anniversary last year and the bike ride around SF and across the GGB was one of my favorite parts.

Looks like we had similar vacations this year! ;) But darn it if we didn't get to bike the Golden Gate...maybe next time. I too loved the Pacific Highway and can still smell the air. PS - Love me some Ray LaMontagne! Great choices in music & travel!

You're adorable my friend! I need to find my life list...I think it's packed away in our trunk. PS I love Spoon, Radiohead and Arcade Fire! Great list!

Love these! They are gorgeous!

These are so fun, and what a great idea for a dream list. Might have to incorporate that one somehow in my future plans. ;) Love the photo of you driving, and the ones at Crystal Cove - amazing!

=)

Clary you are all too cute!!! Love the pics! Thanks for sharing!!!

Your so cute. You have inspired me to make a written list. We all have them in our heads but I have never wrote one out. Hmm...now where do I begin...

I tried that braid thing the other day, and it just didn't work out for me. I don't get it. haha
(It looked so cute in your hair at your Oct. 3rd wedding I second shot with you.) :)

To each and every one of you that want to write a list, find a list, make a list. Do it!! You will be amazed!

Trish-you are too funny, advice-don't look in a mirror when braiding, it gets confusing:)

Amazing pics, Clary! I love California and the Pacific Coast Highway. San Fran is one of my favorite cities and Andy & I got actually got engaged on the beach in Santa Cruz =)

I just want say that i love your work! ;)

Okay, I really can't believe (despite you sending me the link) that it took me this long to pour over your playlist on this trip. OMG YOU LOVE CHARLIE MARS TOO?!!!! Darkside is definitely one of my fave songs of the year. I got to see him when he opened for my fave artist, Griffin House, back in February here and have found him adorable ever since.

And having just been in SoCal where I too got to drive down the PCH and see the surfers surfing and the waves crashing and the candy-colored skies and thought, IS THIS REAL?!!! I can TOTALLY see why you have a list of 27 goals with that being one of them ;)

PS - Ironically, Wake Up was playing SO much on the radios out in LA. I think it's funny Arcade Fire has been around forever and suddenly, a movie about a kid named Max comes out with that song attached and everyone's listening ;)

awesome playlist!!!!
Thanks for sharing some of your dreams ...
very inspiring! :)

Congratulations Clary! What a beautiful wedding :)

that's so cool, clary! congratulations :)

CONGRATS Clary! :)

Yay! Glad you posted on this!!!

You rock...every wedding of yours should be featured there. :)

You rock...every wedding of yours should be featured there. :)

I need photos of myself and my husband/business partner for our website. Romantic? I get to capture other people's romantic/love filled/hopeful days with the person I love more than anything in this world. I'd say that's pretty romantic. It wouldn't matter where or when - just capturing our every day - normal/dorky selves is my idea of romantic.

OK - My dorkyness really just showed because I didn't see the 27 words or less, so the end part is my idea... me and my husband no matter where or when just being our normal/dorky selves. That's my idea of romantic. And the date the winner is announced will be our 5 year wedding anniversary. What an awesome present that would be. No pressure.
And pee ess ess - LOVE the film pics. The are dreamy. And I'm wondering what apple farm that is.

I absolutely love using film! I think the idea of incorporating digital and film is a great concept.

I love the idea of shooting in the home for a newly married couple. It captures the "newness" and the idea of them creating a "home" together.

P.S. The pictures of the kids are fantastic :)

Karin - you crack me up and you are not a dork!

Clary, I am a hopeless romantic and find this challenge hard :) I would love a romantic session of Brett and I having an old fashioned date eating outside in the middle of nowhere with candles and then going for ice cream later. That is us :) But I would want to look glamorous while soaking in the night. Like 40's glam. Thanks :)

I'd love to have our engagement pictures shot somewhere warm and cozy feeling. The romantic winter pictures would be nice to contrast our future summer wedding pictures.

My parents celebrating 27 years together cozied up to a warm fire with mugs of hot cocoa in their flannel pjs/robes or winter gear.

clary, i LOOOVE these! (i also love your boots ;)so, can i play too? hehe
ok, my idea of a romantic session: my husband and i, in chicago, walking around the lincoln park area, maybe having some hot chocolate + a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake (our favorite!) the end :)

Whether it's film or digital you always take the most amazing photos! I think a romantic shoot would be to photograph a couple spending a night out from afar. Capturing the moments where they are just being themselves. The touches, the smiles, the kisses in romantic settings like their favorite resturant, taking a walk or carriage ride in the park, or even their home watching their favorite movies, cuddled up in a blanket drinking hot coco. I know I used more than 27 words but I've never been good a summerizing. :)

Clary, these pictures are gorgeous, you really capture people's personalities!
Also, I want to participate in the contest :)
My idea of a romantic evening is cooking a meal with Dave & enjoying our great feast together in the end (along with a nice bottle of wine).

The film shoot is very romantic. I feel like maybe it looks "soft" too. I love it!
In February, I will be 7 months pregnant with our second child : )
Thats a 2 and a 7...

Cool fall afternoon circa 2002...us= poor college kids: grabbed snacks, radio, warm blanket & each other. Quiet romantic corner in park w/changing leaves watching big clouds roll by …perfect & beautiful.

I can do better than my last entry:
Me. Fiance. Fireplace or firepit. February. Engaged 7 months. Wine or hot chocolate. Snuggling. Laughing. Dancing. In love. Soft. Romantic. Playful. Memorable. Glowing. Smiling. Holding hands. Perfection!

Fell hard and fast, whirlwind engagement, five years married, four children...still in love Date night in the city, lights, the contrast of gritty urban with soft romance…

i also wanted to add that the images from this session are gorgeous...i have looked at them several times + just love them.

12 years of romance and 3 little girls later, we still can't get enough of each other. We would love you to capture the peacefulness of "us".

I love these photos! I'd definitely say they are romantic. I love this challenge and here is my entry :)
My husband and I reliving our first date (five years ago this May). Bowling and rootbeer floats on an early spring evening. Relaxed and fun=romantic, right?

Well...my husband and I are welcoming our first child into the world this January and I think that's pretty romantic. Or at least maternity or newborn photos of it would be :). We're a fun, madly in love couple who can't wait to meet our biggest blessing - little Olivia Marie. Oh, and we live in St. Charles.

LOVE this!! Your kids are just so cute, what an adorable foursome you all are! Would love to have a film session! I'll get back to you with my entry :)

TWO big "kids", dressed to the nines. Drunk on love, embarrassingly goofy around lots of young students, where we met. Just US, celebrating SEVEN years.

oh geez! what a challenge.... hmm....

an ice skating session at steinberg! (even though i can't ice skate AT ALL) i think it would be so romantic. cocoa and kisses included.

Idea: 1/27/09, our 7 month wedding anniversary. Sitting in the bed of Beau's 1970 truck that we took to HS dances. Cozying up, looking at stars. The end. But.... to add another number, our 3rd session with the fab Clary :) Beautiful pics and family Clary, you're so talented, so blessed.

I love every one of these images! Your family is so fun and I just love when we get a glimpse into the life of Clary and company!

Here's my entry for the contest:
The moment my daughter was born, I became a mother. In January she will become a sister, a moment that will make my heart swell with love.

These are just fantastic! I love the "feel" film oozes out! I love seeing photos of your family because they always make my heart smile :)

You are really willing to travel to Chicago for this session? Chicago holds a very dear place in my heart, it's where Danny and I decided to start our lives together during a very cold winter eight years ago. We are now enjoying our 7th year of marriage. How dreamy would a winter session is Chicago be! Here is my submission :)

The twinkling lights streamed down Michigan Ave, enjoying German treats at the Christkindlmarket in Daley Plaza, and I can't forget the yummy, warm pizza! Perfect winter day!

(sorry for the book)

I love all of these pictures and it always makes my heart melt to see you guys. Travis' pic makes me LOL. And I think Jettie is giving Hughes a run for his money in the shutterbug department. Tell my Godson he needs to step up his game, and tell my Goddaughter Good Job!

Husband and wife welcoming the spring equinox sunrise atop Monks Mound at Cahokia Mounds w/ coffee, hot chocolate, a blanket, and love.

Love these, your kiddos are adorable. I remember when I began shooting b/w film was my favorite.

two people walking through the park...enjoying the beauty mother nature provides and company of each other...feeling the warmth of your partner as you walk hand in hand...love

Aww I just want to steal your family and make them mine..sooo adorable and cute...Such awesomeness...

Here's a romantic idea...Me. My man. The dog. 8 years together. I've told him when he proposes, I want to capture it on film. Cooking. Cuddling. Making Snowangels.

Hello! I am in love with these photos! Simply put it is natural beauty captured at its best!
My Kind of Romantic: Crisp quiet December morning at the break of dawn, our breaths visible against the air, noses red from the cold, playing in the freshly fallen snow with my fiance of 7 months Waiting to enjoy the sunrise, rays striking the snow reflecting its sparkling beauty, in his arms. (I know a tid bit more than 27words but I had to paint the picture :)

My idea…me, Tommy, our new puppy, decorating for Christmas, hanging stockings and ornaments, in our new home. Celebrating the blessings of our first year of marriage!

Us. Playground. Swings. Merry go round. Slide. We spend hrs on swings talking, flirting, and just enjoying each other’s company. Just a couple of “big” kids.

Me, the hubby, and our 4-legged kid.. bundled up, hiking at Pere Marquette. Taking in the fresh air and breathtaking views!

All of your entries, so amazing. The cozy, celebrations of love, hot chocolate, cold noses...we have such beautiful lives, don't we?!!

So, the winner of the romancing photography, Megan H and the vision of fresh snow and seeing breath and love:)

I am a bit tardy in my reply, but you are simply amazing and going to make someone very happy :-) I love the vintage Wonder Years feel!

Oh how wonderful! Thank You Clary! I am so excited! :o)

In love with these pictures...so soft and dreamy! And of course the family captured in them is adorable. :) Congrats to the winner of the session...I can't wait to see a sneak peek of those romantic images, I know they'll be wonderful!

Wow, Clary-
I LOVE the film shots- there is such a sense of purity and chance in them, and a feel of nostalgia for the non-digital age.
Keep it up- LOVE the Blackbird Fly camera- HOW COOL is THAT?!?!?

Oh wow!! This is absolutely stunning and gorgeous!!! Classy, elegant and subtle!!! I love it!!! :)

WOW-Great site-I love the pictures-thanks for brightening my day!!!Francis http://www.geothermalquestions.net

One word - jealous. Glad this opportunity fulfilled you so much!

First of all, I'm going to work on getting over the fact that you didn't tell me you were going to this workshop. Second, I cannot wait to hear all about your Cali experience (including the bikes!). Third, these are stunning. Absolutely amazing - so proud of you! Fourth, I think the remarkable thing about life-changing moments is that we never realize it at the time. ...But that's what makes it all the more amazing, right?

Ahh!! I had no idea you had gone to this workshop until you blogged about it last week. These pictures are stunning, and I'm sure you have more up your sleeve!

Wow finally....and totally worth it too...Love the pictures, and the write up rocks...it was so nice meeting you at the workshop. will definitely keep in touch...

i can't believe i didn't i see this post before :S it looks like you had a lot of fun.. plus some really gorgeous images!!
;)

I'm freaking out and I'm just looking at this on my iPhone!!!! Wow, I can't wait to get home and look at this in real life!! Amazing Clary...!! Soooo glad I met you and thanks for the shout out:)

that's great Clary!
thanks for sharing this with us.
I bet you had a GREAT time at the workshot.
:)

I would have to say that meeting definately changed my life, for the better, in so many ways. I'm getting teary eyed with this blog and your Bobbi+Mike phot session. My heart is filled with warm gooey-ness for you right now =). I luvs You!

Stunning! I love all of them...but my personal fav is the image of Jeff...you captured him perfectly....ahhh, love them! xoxo

Thanks everyone!

Gina-Jeff one handsome guy and you two as a couple picture perfect. I'm so happy you two had this opportunity, I would photo you two any day!!

This is a great post Clary. It sounds like life is perfection for ya :)

You'll be knocking the socks off the midwest brides with these! Gorgeous!

i'd like to see the wedding that belongs to that bouquet! gorgeous!

i like the new watermark. it's a pain but it's necessary for the safety of your photos. it's not distracting at all, either- i barely noticed.

E, please! I can't wait to see what everyone chooses. And like Pamela, I barely noticed the watermark. I think it's the perfect size and opacity.

either B or D!

I vote for E!

Napa wedding please!

Watermark looks great!

I vote B where did they get all that stuff....

I am dying to see E!!!!! Please!!!

I vote for E!

I am dying to see more of E!!!!!

I vote E!!! I have to see these!

I choose F --> All of the above! I think the watermark looks just fine - it doesn't take away from the images at all. And for real, I would love to see more from the Jessica Claire workshop!

My vote is for E--the lighting is amazing and that couple is just so cute!

I vote for b or d. I agree with Pamela it's not too distracting and it is completely necessary.

I want to see them all.
But I would to see the Napa Valley wedding first!
The watermark is nice. I like it.
:)

E please:-)

Ooh, E!

Love the couple in e--so romantic!

E please!

I would love to see more of a and b!!!:)

all of them!!! but, to choose one, i say E too... your couples/engagements sessions are breathtaking ;) i'm loving that light too. and - the watermarking is fabulous.

I vote A!

I vote E :) I'm dying to see your take on the Jessica Claire workshop though :) The watermark is perfect.

I vote for E (Kat and Andy)

I vote for E!

I vote D - that bouquet is amazing. And I really like the watermark. I'd say it could go just a touch more transparent, but only by 5-10% of what it is now. No matter what wins, I always love looking at your photos! It's a win-win situation.

Jessica Claire workshop!! Didn't even notice the watermark until you mentioned it, but I've been staring at a computer screen all day. :)

Napa please!
All of these are amazing! And I definitely want to know where the best places in St. Louis are.
The watermarking looks good from a reader perspective - not too intrusive. BUT it would also unfortunately be easily cropped out in many of the photos. Mean people really do suck.

D :)

I was part of C...the most fabulous and fun wedding ever. I'm sure they are all great, but I vote for C!!!!

I like C the best. They are absolutely glowing!!!

I vote for C! It was a wonderful wedding!

My vote goes to C - weddings are joyous occasions and this couple definitely glows with joy and happiness. Your watermark if fine, but I would reduce its size to make it more discreet and elegant.

C- What a beautiful couple and yes it was a fabulous wedding!

I vote G-More family pictures of your trip to OC and San Fran and your Birthday adventures. I need my daily dose of Clary. Miss you!

What's better than seeing their happiness written all over their faces?

Fabulous photos.... I'd love to see more of the couple who laughed more than any other...B. You captured their emotions beautifully in that shot.....I want to see more.

I want more of C.....the couple that laughed more than any other!!

I vote for C......what a beautiful photo.

I vote for the beautiful and happy couple number C.

C) for the couple that laughed a lot because without laughter you have no life!

C is the best- obviously a very happy couple caught in a moment!

My vote is for C. This photo would put a smile on anybodys face!

C is the best and one of the best weddings I have been to!

I vote for C - they couldn't look any happier!
