I love to learn and this shoot was all about stretching myself!!

This was a really fun shoot I did with my friends at 29eleven Productions. I am excited to be a part of the 29eleven Production Photography team and we have a blast. Be sure to check 29eleven Productions out on facebook and like their page!!

I work with another incredible photographer, Ben, at 29elevn Productions.  He was lead on this shoot and I was in more of a second shooter than co-shooter role. What I enjoy about Ben is that he is very creative, enthusiastic, and directive with his subjects. Ben sets up shots different than I do. He loves bright colors and bold light, and he rocks it. His images are always fresh, bold, and bright. Check out his personal business website here and be sure to like his facebook page.

This shoot was on a farm in Hebron at sunset. *swoon* The setting was as beautiful as the couple Janelle and Tyke.  Janelle and Tyke are playful and easy going and have a sweet love story like something you would find in a country romance novel.

We had a wonderful time and we get to shoot their wedding next month!! Can't wait!

These sisters were adorable. Such good listeners!! It was an extremely warm august evening and they were champs!! Such a beautiful family.

Mike and Kathleen, your wedding was perfect!! I love how playful you are and how good you are to one another.  It was a joy to capture your wedding day and I can't wait to continue the party with you this weekend!!

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
