Beam & Bloom Launch!

I've never really photographed young children before, so I was a little intimidated walking into this shoot, as well as being concerned about bright sunlight. Chelsea Beamer is the mastermind behind Beam & Bloom, a children's clothing company, and I admire how thoughtful she was with this entire process. It was immediately comforting, and the shoot ended up being a blast. The bright light ended up allowing me to experiment with editing, and the results were dreamy and gauzy feeling. Here are a couple of my favorites: 

Sneaky Proposals

There are very few things that make me happier than planning surprises! I got to be a little sneaky for this beautiful proposal at the Wynkoop bridge because, and Carly didn't suspect anything when Omar asked me to take a photo of them. I had met Omar the day before through a mutual friend, and we plotted the whole thing down to position, background, and the "cues" for taking the photo. I brought my partner, Jason, along for the ride so that I could pretend to take photos of him while trying to not look suspicious.

And dang, y'all, what a special love with these two. I was crying while taking photos the whole time. We walked down to Union Station after to take a couple photos of the couple, and Carly kept exclaiming how she couldn't believe it and how excited she was about everything. Congratulations to these two!
