The tall grass brushed across our shins. Yellow caution tape wrapped around the playground next door. Silence fell heavy all around us. The sun tucked itself neatly behind the tree line, but allowed its hazy rays to shine through branches on the trees. Occasionally, the sound of children’s laughter pulled our attention briefly toward the […]

The last bit of camera gear was packed into our bags. We were walking with Elizabeth and Erick through Spruce Street Harbor Park. There was a blue tint cast on everything from the sunken sun hidden by the clouds. We were basking in the post-engagement session high and enjoying our last bit of time with […]

The sky was dark. DARK. “The storm will hold off,” Kyle said. Amy looked suspiciously at the sky, then to Kyle, then back to the sky. He stopped the car so she could get out and scout out the location while he parked. About two minutes later, the clouds released their rain. Like, a lot […]

We stood in the long, winding, garden pathways at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America. Sounds of birds mixed with the silence. Our lungs took in long breaths of the fresh, clean air.

Our heart rates rose in excitement for the shoot, like they always do. We envisioned capturing their love story in various locations around us, […]

The late afternoon sun shone brightly on the water. Boats made their casual journey from one side of the bay to the other. From benches and from the walking path, passersby watched the water’s waves move. The breeze was cool, the sun, hot. The tree’s green leaves were just beginning to show spots of orange […]
