Flowers In Her Hair || Stephanie

One of my favorite parts of these Flowers In Her Hair sessions is the fact that every single time I have asked someone if they are interested it has been an automatic YES.  Yet every time I get nervous to ask.  It's like being a kid in the park again, wondering if your friend wants to play.  But the more I do these sessions the more I realize how everyone is looking for that opportunity.  

I had brought my camera along to the Berkas home "just in case" but had not taken it out of the bag.  It was actually Stephanie who timidly said, "if I would of thought of it sooner we could of done a flower session" the evening before we were headed out.   5min later our shoes were on and we were out the door to find a flower shop!

Once again, the combination of creating crowns and uplifting beautiful women in my life is an incredible thing.  But capturing that beauty in the heart of their home, in this case, surrounded by family (the hubby and pup) it is just comes to life.

Elena & Mike

Elena took a bet on me before I had ever photographed a single wedding.  She was laid back, carefree and all in (and I love her for it).   When I met both of them for coffee, I knew it was a perfect match.  They understood that a wedding day should be spent enjoying one another, the company of loved ones, and each part of the day.  For the images they wanted a way of seeing the story over again, with special attention to the small moments they may have missed or would otherwise go forgotten.   I absolutely loved capturing the love between the two of them on the most beautiful of spring days to say I DO.   What a perfect start to wedding season.  

Flowers In Her Hair || Leah

Leah.  Oh I don't even know where to start.  A creative spirit that matches my own, but hers is poetry and words.  She beams with wholeheartedness, the joy in being silly, in setting out on your own adventure.  She is living out her adventures up on a mountain so I am glad I caught her visiting and we could spend a few hours on a Monday afternoon playing and creating.  She really radiates, doesn't she?
