When the Sunshine Speaks to Me | Session

I don’t do this nearly enough.

I find that the longer we do this thing we love, the less we do it for ourselves. Often, the only time I pick up my camera anymore is when I have a session or wedding for client – and only rarely for myself. But it’s so important to make the time to photograph for yourself as an artist, otherwise things begin to feel stale and boring.

Please note: This is a personal, real-life post by Kate & Josh – if you strictly want to read client related posts, please click here.

A friend in Tennessee took a photo the other day that inspired me. I immediately had the urge to shoot something for myself, to create this ONE image … and the weather forecast for the day seemed to agree. Pair that with a last minute session cancellation and it all seemed to be perfect.

Jeleisa graciously agreed to model for me. I knew I wanted a soft but also dramatic and earthy look, and she was on board 100%. The warm sunshine danced through the trees and seemed to wrap her up. Not only did I get the specific shot I hoped for (the detail shot of the ring with the flowers), but I’d say we created some magic … and I’m definitely feeling rejuvenated. I even tried my hand at a little video clip (at the bottom) … and while it was fun, we’ll let the true videography pros do that part (in other words, video is not anywhere on our horizon of offerings)! Ha ha!

Centennial Trail in Machias, just outside Snohomish, is one of my favorite places. It’s an oasis of trees and quiet with beautiful views, and the perfect place to spend a warm evening.

About

Kate & Josh

Josh (he/him) and Kate (she/her) are creatives at heart – geeky, nerdy, adventurous and weird. We both have tattoos, we both love Harry Potter, the MCU and music (especially Tom Petty) , and we have a million corny inside jokes (Josh is the king of dad jokes). We spend a lot of time on road trips or creating adventures in our own backyard. We believe that the strongest and best relationships are built through experiences together and approach our relationship, family and business with that in mind. We could go on and on about all the cheesiness that makes us love weddings and wedding photography, but we won’t make you gag. Love rocks, that’s all. We are a house divided – Josh is an avid Seahawks fan and on football days, our house is a shrine to everything 12 … where as Kate bleeds Green and Gold for her beloved Packers. Josh also loves reggae music and rap, where Kate’s tastes lean more towards country, pop, and some folksy non-mainstream bands. If you ran into us on a weekend, we’d probably both be in the same room, but Josh immersed in his video games and Kate on the computer or playing that addictive and relaxing game, 2048 (I forewarned you, nerd-status is at an all time high) while listening to an audiobook (she’s nerding out on political memoirs & social justice books right now). Hiking, exploring, and getting as far away from traffic as we can get is the name of our game – which is probably why we live in the woods. Our house literally does not get mail service … or any internet to brag about. That being said, it’s a pretty kick-ass place to have fires on summer nights and to sled when it snows. If you’re looking for someone that will feel like a friend and not just a vendor, we can’t wait to get to know you. We have a mission of making sure our couples are educated during their wedding planning & wedding photography process, and that you never feel like you don’t know what you’re doing.
