So, it’s pretty awesome to have really good-looking friends who are willing to be your subjects when you feel like shooting a particular kind of session. It’s also pretty cool when those good-looking friends start dating each other. These two fabulous people have been dear friends of mine for quite some time, but just started dating at the beginning of the year (and how cute of a couple do they make?!). When they both happened to be in town in March, they agreed to collaborate on a more editorial/lifestyle sort of session. I wanted to make their outfits and style elements almost as much a part of the shoot as them, to be somewhat of a hybrid between standard portraiture and a style shoot. I think mixing those elements along with a more editorial feel is my happy place. We definitely had a great time, and I love how it turned out. Excited to be sharing it with you all today! Hope you enjoy!
