I loved spending time with and photographing this gorgeous couple.
Loretta, with her stunning long black hair and graceful presence, looked absolutely radiant, and the love between her and Phil was undeniable. Their connection and excitement for this next step shone through in every moment making it so easy to capture their joy.
It was such a joy to photograph Lisa during this incredible time in her life. There’s something so special about capturing the excitement and anticipation that comes with expecting a baby, and this new momma had the most gorgeous pregnancy glow. These photos are a celebration of her journey into motherhood, and I feel so grateful to have been able to document this meaningful chapter for her.
I think I can call myself a digital nomad at this point. I spent the month of April with my very oldest friend, Tori, at her home in England. It was an adventure in all the good and bad ways that life and travel always go. When you have the right person by your side it makes it all bearable.
The trip was chaotic, but towards the end we were able to carve out a day to visit Houghton House. This made everything worth it. I’m going back later this summer to photograph her wedding. Although I spent a couple summers shooting and second shooting weddings - it is something I never do. I couldn’t pass up my dearest friend, the most gorgeous couple, and the dream location.
I went to visit Loretta on the Big Island. This was the final trip my Canon 60D ever took as I dropped it into a river and broke it. That camera got me through 10 years of photography, and while it was my comfort place I cannot imagine going back. I upgraded to a Sony AR7iii which is a gorgeous mirrorless camera.
This trip was 10 days long, but the camera only lasted two or three days. Such is life.
Photos of Loretta are by me and photos of me are by Loretta.
