It’s moments like these that always remind me of WHY I do what I do. There is no force more powerful than love.

Jared + Valerie's Forest Lake Engagement

August 23, 2018 in Engagements

There are couples and then there are couples. It was an absolute pleasure and joy to photograph Jared & Valerie. There love was so evident, it was hard to not see it ooze out of them. Jared a police officer and Val a teacher, both have a heart of gold and love serving. The location was Forest Park College ending up at a local beach in the city of Forest Park.

These two are so in love. It was really easy to photograph them. It's sessions like this that photographers just dream of. The sun showed up and gave us some great golden light. Location was great. And the couple was amazing!

Man, everything just felt good. Have you ever had anything like that? Where everything just feels right? That was the kind of shoot it was. Ok, unto the pics!

It’s was AMAZING to work with @kelvinachapman again! She killed it. It was also fun to create a make-shift studio in my garage.

I had so much fun shooting this dress! The location was crazy epic and @lp24vswife does what Dru does… She absolutely killed it. My art has been in discovery as of late. I juggle between natural light and OFC. I think having a healthy mixture of both is needed. I’m finding that no matter how long I go without OFC I find myself going right back to it. I love using lighting. Check out @callasprom, love their dresses! .

Learning #offcameraflash has been a game changer for me. Have I learned it all? NO. Definitely not. But the exploration of what can be possible with lights is amazing. I’ve been doing photography professionally for a year and a half now. It’s all I do. I can’t imagine doing anything else right now. Are you chasing your dreams and desires? Are you stretching for what’s in your heart? You should! There’s only one life we get on our own. I say make the best of it and put your foot on the pedal. .
