Sara and Jason have been married 12 years and every single time I see or talk to one of them it reminds me of my relationship with my husband. They have such a beautiful balance between them, despite when life is hectic and the kids are testing their patience, at the end of the day, the two of them can sit outside together and there’s a calmness. I remember Sara telling me one day that “after a day of dealing with snotty noses, work schedules, muddy pawprints across the kitchen, laundry for miles, I’m reminded I still have my love story going to bed with me every night.” How lovely is that? That is what marriage is all about, sharing the weight and responsibilities of life so that you can enjoy your free time together as well.
Sara and Jason’s Beloved session was their first time since their wedding having professional photos taken of just them, no kids involved. I think there’s a bit more nervous energy when you know you’re the focus, rather than your kids. Regardless of this, within minutes it was obvious that they were both completely connected and focused on each other rather than the photos, which is exactly what Beloved is about. The emotional bond, the celebration of the relationship. It’s not a focus on the clothes, the location, the scenery, it’s about the marriage and the connection. Sara and Jason, I love you both dearly and feel so blessed that you shared such beautiful moments with me. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for enriching my life with your friendship.

Isn’t that all we really want when we get married, to still be looking at each other like that?
