A couple’s home is a meaningful part of their lives. For couples like Kait and JJ, this is even more true. It’s an expression of who they are and what’s important to them.

Photo sessions are at their best when the couple is comfortable. I want them to feel comfortable anyway, but the comfort also elevates the photos too. For Anna and Mike, this meant taking their engagement photos at home. I was happy to do it.

I love taking couples to new places with their photos. I love pushing them. Not to be mean. I’m here to help! But to show them who they can be. With Ellyssa and James’ Venice Beach engagement photos, we found out, and it was great.

There is beauty in simplicity. There is intimacy. When everything else is stripped away, kind of literally here, ha, the truth feels safe to come out. For Kelsey and Bekah, this truth was love. Those two don’t need somewhere to go. They don’t need flowers, dresses, or ceremonies. They only need each other, and their Boulder engagement photos show that.
