alex & christian.

robbie and i kind of  adore the way that these two look at each other. meet alex & christian. we had an entire morning of fun with these two. since it was an out of town session for us, we put them up to the job of finding some cool locations to shoot in…they did NOT disappoint. in fact, we’re going to offer them jobs to do all of our location scouting from now on!! but honestly, they picked out PERFECT places.

  they’re getting married in a few weeks and we CAN NOT wait to see these two again, get more images of them and see all the details that will go into making their day “them”.

alex & chris are the kind of people that are good to have in your life, and we’re excited that we’re able to call them “our friends”.

joie redux.

When I think about this session, there is so much I can’t take credit for.

From the setup to the execution, this day was just for the love of photography. In a little twist on how we do things, Lauren and I decidedly shot at different times and assisted during the rest. The styling, the lighting, the posing, the expressions…are all a product of people who feel alive creating something.

Lauren and I deliberately distanced ourselves from shooting in a studio a few years back because of how confining it felt. In this case, I can’t imagine photographing these any differently.

There is a hint of fashion, a hint of documentary, a hint of glamour….better yet, there is a piece of Joie, a piece of Lauren, and a piece of me in every one of these.
