Another gorgeous session where Annika completely trusted me throughout the entire process! Talk about laid-back, Annika was up for everything ;) Not to mention I absolutely love her free spirit and sense of adventure. Can't wait to share more...
Currently obsessing (aka working) on this sweet couple..
When I see images like this it reminds me just how important and valuable a moment like this is, especially, years down the road. Whether it's an engagement, senior session, or a portrait session for you or your family... words cannot describe how priceless a moment like this can be for you and your loved ones. And there's something about taking the extra step to cherish a portrait and seeing it daily in your home as a piece of your own life art. I know for myself personally, I've vowed to create and capture moments like this for me and my loved ones.
It's funny.. I hadn't planned on writing about 'life art' but when I saw this image that is truly how
I felt and hope everyone can feel the same passion for their very own moments :)
What can I say, they are simply sweethearts. Jie & Hyon have a love that is so whole that even in a moment of silence it's as if they are communicating.. loudly. And if you have ever met these two you know that is exactly how these two live! I love how they laugh with each other, tease each other, and at the same time there is this underlying connection these two have.
But most of all, I absolutely adore how they love each other... unabashedly.
Isla was so precious and loved even before she was born... like many (if not all) parents feel.
And that is exactly the kind of love I love to see. I've seen the way Irene & Michael talk about their
little girl - their eyes light up and I can hear the slight twinge of anticipation at the thought of their
little girl growing up each and every day.
Irene is a planner, which is why when I received an email from her asking me to document Isla's
room (yes, this was before Isla was even born!) and then Isla's first year birthday party, I was
touched. For someone who plans and is very detailed oriented it was an honor for me to
document such an important milestone in Irene & Michael's first newborn's life!
Here's a glimpse into the love, laughter, and joy this family has. Isla is so loved and to see the
same love reflected back to her parents is a beautiful thing.
I had the honor of documenting this wonderful, traditional Korean wedding between a kiwi and a
native Korean ;) Penny's parents flew in from New Zealand for the Korean traditional wedding
ceremony and it was such a blessing to see these two surrounded by their loved ones from all
over the world. More coming soon...
Traditionally the throwing of the chestnuts is for the Groom's parents, but it's such a fun tradition
Penny had her parents partake as well. I think they had some fun ;)
