I love being a photographer for many reasons. One of them is the people who come in to my life for a session and end up becoming friends. I’ve always felt very strongly about having to have a connection with my clients to really truly capture the magic. I have had some pretty amazing couples trust me with their weddings and engagements and I love the friendship that is also created.
With the way the last 20 months or so have been with a pandemic looming over us, needless to say its been quite the rollercoaster for me as a photographer. With restrictions coming in and constantly changing, I needed to be flexible. It has been a long road, and finally we’re at a place where I feel like life will resume, but it has been hard on me creatively. I figured out that I need creative sessions to fill up something in my soul. A session thats 100% for me. And I have learned that even during busy time, actually especially during a busy season this is needed.
I asked this couple and was hoping they’d be up for a little creative session. I had the privilege of meeting them last year and shooting their elopement. They were the victim of the ever so changing rules of covid and opted for an intimate backyard ceremony instead of their planned wedding, and I loved meeting them. We kept in touch and I knew they’d be perfect for the session I was envisioning.
We met on a gorgeous afternoon amid the craziness of a fall schedule but I needed it. Adding more to my queue of editing at the time maybe wasn’t necessary but I needed this for me. We laughed, we caught up, and had a lot of fun, and I was so happy with how these images turned out.
