This week, we're shining a spotlight on a truly special session with our brand ambassador, Callie, and her husband, Stefan. They came in to celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary and over 20 years of love and connection. This July, they honored the studio with their presence for a simple, elegant black set affair that turned into something truly magical.
Now, let me give you some background. Callie has been working with me for the last few years, but Stefan, like many larger men, is a bit shy and not too fond of having his picture taken. It has taken a lot of coaxing and patience to get him comfortable enough to step into the studio. Trust me, it wasn’t easy. We finally nailed down a date that worked for all of our busy schedules, and we stuck to it. Despite panic attacks, broken zippers, clothing that didn't quite fit, and many other little hiccups, we pushed through. And boy, am I glad we did!
With some coaching and direction, we captured some truly amazing portraits. The connection, heat, and passion between Callie and Stefan were palpable. Even for a basic couples session, things definitely heated up in the studio. It was an honor to witness and capture their love and passion, especially knowing how much it took to get Stefan to this point. After years of trying to get them in the studio together, the timing was finally right, and I was beyond grateful for the opportunity.
In the days leading up to their session, I studied hard. I watched the videos from Stripped Down and reviewed the posing flows to ensure everything was fresh in my mind. This preparation helped set the mood for some truly emotive images. Fully clothed, with all the feels, we created a series of portraits that spoke volumes about their deep connection and enduring love.
If you and your partner are looking to explore and capture your own unique connection and passion, I've got you covered. Send me an email with your info, and let's create something beautiful together.
For Callie and Stefan, this session was more than just pictures—it was a celebration of their journey together, their love, and their unwavering connection. It was a reminder that even after 20+ years, the fire can still burn bright. Thank you, Callie and Stefan, for letting me be a part of this special moment. It was an experience I will never forget.
Feel free to share your thoughts and let me know what emotions you see in their images. I love hearing your feedback and connecting with all of you on a deeper level. Let's celebrate love in all its forms and honor the connections that make our lives richer and more meaningful.
