I’m writing this post for you, my clients, my friends and a little for myself too. So I can tell you I know what it feels like. To be on the other side. To be photographed with my love. To let go. I wanted to remember this time in our lives. There was no grand occasion, it was just us. I woke up on the morning of the shoot full of excitement, but as the day wore on…I questioned what I was wearing. I changed into about 3 different outfits. I had a little panic that Sams shoes weren’t good enough. His hair needing cutting. Maybe I should have gone to the hairdressers? I was so nervous! Then I realised I needed to let go.
I did, and it couldn’t have been better. I love these photos so much. I didn’t notice Sams hair, my hair, or his beat up shoes. What I did see was us. The laughs, the snuggles, the smiles, the warmth, the light, the love. They remind me of our adventures together, the life decisions we have made thus far, and where we are at now. In the moment. We aren’t perfect, so why pretend to be in a photograph?
I’m so excited to document people in whatever stage of life they are in, so they too can remember. What a beautiful thing. xx
Thank you so much to the beautiful Leah Kua for capturing these memories for us. You can see the full blog post of images over on her blog, here. xx
Beautiful said Kate!
