So I think I’ve said this before, but I’m gonna say it again. This job of documenting people and their stories…it literally feeds me. Like sometimes I leave portrait sessions feeling like my soul just ate a big buttery bowl of spaghetti carbonara…extra cream, extra bacon! I mean I leave feeling full, fed, satisfied, and renewed. This early morning session in Morrison, Colorado was one of those times for sure! I think there were a few things that made this session really great. Part of it had to have been the fresh mountain air. Getting to start the morning with a hike in the hills most definitely contributed to this shoot’s amazingness, but most of all it was these two people right here, Brian and Amanda. Getting to spend the morning with them was renewing, uplifting, and just so much fun! They let down their guards with me. They allowed themselves to feel silly, to get out of their shells. When I asked them to love on one another, they actually loved on one another instead of just acting it out. That’s what makes this job so amazing! That’s what makes these photos mean something, what makes these photos have the ability to make you feel something. Amanda and Brian, thank you for letting me document your love, it was a privilege and an honor.

 

 

Just another fantastic night in Denver with some really incredible people.  Ben and Shawna are getting married on Halloween night this year – so we are already shopping for our costumes. We love how simple, raw, and colorful this shoot turned out! Turns out we have a thing for parking garages and rooftops! haha. Mainly, we just love shoots that are centered around two people and their love. The backdrop is just a fun accessory . Can’t wait for the wedding you guys!

First convo with Jen went a little like this “So you have to shoot our wedding – but there’s just one little thing….we really want to do our engagement session on the top of a 300 ft crane….would you guys be down for that?!”. We quickly realized that Jen and Kyle were our kind of people! Ones who live life to the fullest, with big belly laughs, soaking up the present, pulling each other really really close. Being around these two you can’t help but get sucked into this something they have. This crazy connection. This energy. This crazy love. It’s infectious. I mean, together they’re simply – magnetic. It’s something you can tangibly feel when you’re around them. Climbing up this crane was one thrilling adventure in itself (especially at 7 months pregnant!), one we will never forget. Getting to document these two in this beautiful time of their lives was even better. I honestly feel so honored when people ask us to document their wedding and engagement. It’s just such a special, pivotal, fleeting time in life and I literally think about that fact every time I shoot. Jen and Kyle, thank you for welcoming us into your lives and for letting your guards down in front of our lenses. Thank you for just being you. Your love is so real, so authentic. You can even feel it when you look at these images. We can’t wait for the wedding this summer.
