You know what I love most about fashion photography? More than the clothes and the creative process, more than the various tones that fashion photography can be captured in and the opportunity to play with light and shadow, I love the idea that the women I photograph will one day, perhaps in their retirement surrounded by great grandkids with a million laugh lines crinkling around their eyes, look back on these images and think, “Wow.

Engagement sessions that incorporate things the couple are naturally enthusiastic about are always the most memorable.

Laughter, laughter and more laughter trickled throughout the entire celebration. Here’s a sneak peek!
