BONNIE + BEN || PORTLAND, OR

Bonnie + Ben are the epitome of people who love to travel (they're adventuring to Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand on their honeymoon) and graciously flew us up to Oregon for their engagement session! We spent an entire day exploring the city then driving a few hours each way out to the coast to shoot.

We learned about each other's lives in such detail -- jobs, families, pre-martial counseling, dogs, funny childhood memories, weird habits/quirks. There was a ton of food consumed and we laughed, a lot. 

ENJOY SOME OREGON BEAUTY!!!

Caroline + Dan // Fort Worth, TX

There’s something special about the glow of a sunrise portrait session, especially on a chilly winter morning, that wonderfully inspires us. I have to say, Caroline + Dan deserve some sort of award for arriving ready (while it was still dark outside) to starting shooting at 6AM(!!!!). We caught some spectacular, soft morning light during the sunrise — one of the reasons it was completely worth having to pry ourselves from our warm beds earlier that morning… 

Since Dan is a Marine, we wanted to incorporate a little patriotism into their time in front of the camera. We love helping couples brainstorm creative ideas for their portrait session so we can genuinely portray who they are, as a couple, in our images. We’re grateful Caroline + Dan were up for anything and gave us their complete trust!
