I've always loved love. As a little girl, I would watch the movies and felt enamored with grand gestures. When the prince saved the princess, when they lived happily ever after and rode the horse off into the sunset. Then I got older. HA. No, but seriously. As I got older, my idea of love and it's existence in the world evolved. The one thing I believe everyone has in common in the whole world, is the desire to be loved. The desire to have someone fully see you for who you are and still choose you. No, love is not what I read in the books or saw in the movies as a little girl. It's not happily ever after. It's actually better than that. My biggest example of this and my greatest inspiration in my photography is my husband.
The older I get, the more aware I am of moments and how fleeting they are. I'm aware of time and how little we have of it in the grand scheme of things. Because of this, I see the importance of preserving memories. My mom is the reason I'm a photographer. There wasn't a moment in my childhood that wasn't documented. And even now, I'll find random photographs around the house of her and my dad doing life together - something as simple as an old photograph of them eating at their favorite restaurant years ago brings me tears, happy tears. We have such a strong connection to photographs of the people we love.
That's what I strive to give to my couples. Photographs of the fleeting moments spent with the ones they love. Photographs that are equally artistic as they are emotive. Photographs that they will look back on years from now and think "what a wonderful life I lived"
