Kylee and I got together late in the day for her senior photos at the Thomas Center.  The light was low and warm and Kylee did a fantastic job.  She is incredibly driven and focused.  She knows where she wants to go in life and is willing to work hard to get there.  I thought I worked hard in high school, and she far exceeds what I did. Help me congratulate her and the class of 2015 as they graduate!

Watch for the next intro to SLR photography class on Saturday, July 18th!

Christina and Josh...  They know each other so well and they accept the other for all that they are.  They are able to get lost in each other and to laugh together, they're able to be serious and to just crack up, and they know when to be individuals and when to be a team. They recognize how their personalities and strengths complement each other, which in turn strengthens their relationship.  It was wonderful getting to know both Christina and Josh over a glass (or two...) of wine and working with them to create these photographs to celebrate their engagement.  Here's to an awesome future for you guys!  Cheers!

Man, this was an amazing day.  I don't even know where to begin.  First, Chelsea and Alex are some of the sweetest folks you could ever have the pleasure of knowing. They're a ton of fun and great folks to have as friends - I feel pretty special about the fact that I get to count them among mine.  Second, they are commited to their relationship - they're there for each other and not afraid of the work it takes to build and maintain a healthy partnership, which is awesome.

This lovely day, we got together at their place for a little Gulejo coffee and fruit, took it easy for a bit, and then headed out to the park with Sox.  We had such a great time - laughter, tears, and everything in between.  It was a treasure to spend the day with these two.  Love you guys!

I met Kate in a shoot-and-critique community class a few years ago.  We've become good friends since then, and I've been so happy to get to know her partner, Katie.  These two balance each other so well.  Kate is always thinking and planning, and as a result she is one of the best sources for advice I know. Katie is the perfect combination of softness and lightness to balance her out.  They have been through a lot together and have continued to help each other grow stronger.  It was such an honor to photograph them ahead of the birth of their son, Calvin.  He has just arrived and the family is doing great. :)

Ah, Pia and Tine.  I love them.  We met online during Business as an Artform in April as we all made some big breakthroughs and realizations for our businesses.  During the workshop, they invited me to visit them in Slovenia and do a Beloved session with them.  I warned them that they shouldn't invite me unless they really mean it, because I'll totally show up on their doorstep.  They said they meant it, so that is exactly what I did and in June (I brought along my brother and his girlfriend as well).  

When we arrived, we knew IMMEDIATELY that they were special people.  They were so warm and open... we instantly felt comfortable and as if we had known them forever.  

Pia and Tine are also photographers following the Beloved path, so they knew what they were getting into for this session, but they were still a little nervous going into the session (perhaps because they knew too well what they were in for!).  The session ended up being incredible - it was a celebration of their six-year wedding anniversary on the very spot that they were married.  The sky was bright and the leaves were glowing green for them.  

You can read about each of their perspectives on the Beloved session on their blog here and here.

It was truly an honor and such a deep pleasure to share a few days with these two open, kind, and generous people.  If you live in Europe, definitely give them a call to book a session or visit their website at www.beloveart.com.

Lastly, learn more about their personal project - Project Hope - here. The project focuses on bringing attention to infertility by celebrating the couples who have worked through it and now have a little one of their own.  Pia and Tine would like to photograph 50 couples from around the world within the next two years.  Please visit their site to learn more.
