My friends Nate and Jessie were willing to serve as guinea pigs as I explore the idea of Beloved sessions that I learned from Jesh deRox at WPPI.

I was blown away, by the joy and giddiness of their love, and also the tenderness and kindness.

Nate made me cry as he held Jessie.  In this experience I ask them to share precious things with each other to put them in a space to honestly express their love.  I can’t always hear what’s being said and frankly, I don’t want to… it’s literally for the two of them.  I hope that these images remind them of the sweetness of their relationship.

Thanks for sharing this with me!

Here’s my first stab at a Beloved Session, one that celebrates a couple’s love and shows something deeper than what they look like on the outside… photography that shows their souls.

I went to a seminar at WPPI by Jesh deRox, he moved me so much…  I think I am always attracted to real human experiences, one where people are brave enough to be honest.

I love this work–I want to do more of it.  If you are interested in doing a test session I would love to hear from you. You have to be willing to be open and ready to fall in love with your partner.

I would also love to hear what you think.. please comment!
