{portraits} moh & shell

when i announced that i would be in vancouver bc during the christmas holidays, shell immediately contacted me to ask if i was available to photograph her and her husband moh. this was a special time in their lives and they really wanted to document their first christmas together in canada. i was more than excited to say "yes!!"

the more i do this, the more i realize how much i love working with couples, whether they for their engagement, wedding day, anniversary, maternity or to simply celebrate the everyday, i love photographing couples!! it is a privilege to watch them interact as our session unfolds and they can focus on loving one another and enjoying the time set apart to simply be together.

but you want to know why i really love photographing couples, it's because of that look... you know the one i am talking about right? the one that says "you are my best friend and i trust you with every bit of myself and my heart. i still can't believe i'm yours and you're mine." it is usually a split second look that occurs when one partner is looking away or talking about something and the other is following what is is being said with pride... oh.em.gee. my favourite!! this lightbulb moment occurred during shell and moh's portrait session... shell knocked "the look" out of the ball park. see for yourself below...

 this is it {below}!! this is the look! that wonderful, all knowing, all loving look!!!

 

sometimes i think about moving back to vancouver just to i can shoot at locations like this... but then i remember how many more amazing places the east coast has!! haha!

love & sunshine,
