"Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end."
--Germaine De Stael

Jordan & Danielle :: A Beloved Session in Laguna

January 13, 2012

"One of my favorite things to do is look at Jordan. When I'm sitting in the passenger seat and he's driving. When we're attempting yoga in our living room. When he's playing with our cat or helping me with the dishes after dinner. It's not because he's so handsome that I love looking at him (he is!), but because it amazes me that I can actually love someone as much as I love him. I look at him and every time it occurs to me, all over again, that this man that I love more than anyone is mine forever. And he will love me forever! He is my best friend and all of the normal, mundane, things we do together are so much better because he's next to me. Not everything we do together is exciting, but they are always little reminders of what we promised each other the day we were married because when I look at him, I am filled with joy and an inexpressible love."
-Danielle

Sam & Tina :: A Berkeley Beloved Session

November 15, 2011

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

-Louis De Bernieres

Ryan & Tennille :: Beloved - Corona, CA Photographer

July 1, 2011

Beloved is a new genre of photography that I am embracing wholeheartedly. The Beloved philosophy centers on discovering and inviting the love and emotions that exist between people. It is something I've long tried to establish in my photography, and now that it has a name, I feel that I can implement it even more in my sessions and weddings. Beloved sessions are meant to unite people, to allow them to truly be themselves, to encourage them in their relationships. Some Beloved sessions are more serious, most Beloved sessions are lighthearted and fun.

I've spent hours in seminars and webinars learning more about how to implement the Beloved revolution into my work. I mean for Beloved sessions to be so much more than a "photo session", they are meant to be an experience.

I photographed Ryan and Tennille's wedding almost two years ago on the Oregon Coast. It's always wonderful to spend time with couples months or years later. I loved this Beloved session we did when I was in New Mexico a few weeks ago - a true look at their friendship and love.
