Steve and Sarah are two people that have known each other their entire lives. They went to Kindergarten together. But it wasn't until about four years ago when they ran into each other again. While Sarah had a small crush on Steve in high school, Steve only recently started noticing her, and they decided to go on a date. A date that Steve would cancel.
Read MoreJeff and Katie are two amazing people. Both live in DC these days but Jeff grew up here in the Pacific Northwest, in Sandpoint. Katie had never been out here though before they met, and when we did this engagement shoot this was one of the first times she had ever been in the area. There were a lot of things that stood out to me about this experience for her. One of them was how kind the people are up here in the Northwest. For one of the photos below (them sitting on a bench with just the water behind them), there were some girls sun bathing in the way. I may have been able to make the shot work with them in there, but instead they looked up and said “do you want us to move?!” - such a kind question.
Read MoreThey met online, as so many people do these days (seriously though, SO many people!). Brittany saw Bronson's profile and saw a lot of things she liked. Not only was he incredibly "cute" but he also had dogs, wanted a real relationship, seemed to be looking for something real. So she messaged him.
Read MoreSeth and Brittney are two amazing people that grew up kind of far apart (Seth just outside of Bend, Brittney near the Tri-Cities… if I remember correctly) and so they didn't meet growing up, or in school or anything like that. They met like so many couples do these days - on Tinder. You see, Seth moved away from his home town as he was doing research with a PHD student, and when he saw Brittney's picture on Tinder, he did the obvious thing - he swiped right.
Read MoreThe first time they met they worked together. Alex didn’t' work the same shifts and Krystal, and so they didn’t actually see each other very much. Now you may not know this about Krystal, but she loves to talk to people and say hi to everyone. So when she said "hi" to alex as they passed each other on the shift change, he didn't really respond. He wasn't trying to be rude, he just didn't respond with the same energy that she had.
Read MoreThey met when they were young teenagers. Jaron told me that when Paige moved into his neighborhood all the guys were talking about her. "she was smoking hot." Jaron told me. It wasn't vague either, he clearly remembered her, and his first meeting with her. Paige, for her part, remembered a super happy go lucky guy with long curly red hair. They liked each other. They spent time together, but, as 13 and 14 year old's do, they lost contact when one of them moved away.
