a sneak peak at this weekends session
i really enjoy making portraits. i mean, i really, really like it. i enjoy spending time with people, learning about them and finding a way to capture the essence of who they are. before the day ever arrives, i spend alot of time considering locations and looking at images from photographers i love for inspiration, but the ancillary details aren’t my primary focus.
the most important thing, in my opinion, is a great story.
Jeni & Jessica have a great story.
they’ve been best friends since the 6th grade, their husbands are now friends and they’re both pregnant - the due dates only a couple days apart. when Jessica told me they wanted to do their sessions together, i thought it was a brilliant idea.
as i thought about the phase of life they’re in, i kept coming back to the notion of young love; being newly married and expecting a child, it’s a really romantic time. i didn’t want that idea to get lost, so i picked a spot i’d normally take engaged couples.
i was really excited about the images we got.
