Some days I walk into a shoot with clients I’ve never met before, unknowing, perhaps slightly apprehensive but ultimately just unsure of who they are and how they’ll be with me. Such was the case with Ana and Ryan, but because of the fabulous referral source, I knew I was in for a good time…
Then I was totally blown away. Ana and Ryan walked up and I was immediately struck by their fabulocity and awesomevity and the next few hours flew by as we laughed, chatted and kicked it together around Laguna.
It’s been said that I’m good with words. But words can’t really wrap around all that Ana and Ryan are. They’re fun. They’re free. They’re open. They’re those new friends that are so comfy you feel you’ve known them forever. They’re that new beer you try where after just one sip, you are refreshed and full. Full of flavor. Full of substance. Full of excitement for future sips to come.
And just like that beer, my mouth waters over these images. Ana and Ryan’s love is honest and real. It makes me thirsty for more honesty and a reality that opens my eyes to all the brightness they see together.
…and if you’re thirsty for some really good words…check out Nick Miller, Ana’s brother. He hooked us up for this shoot. But he hooks me up daily with words that inspire me to not just write more, but to write more openly and more honestly. Like Ana and Ryan.
Michelle - Amazing photos Jackie. I love the shadow heart on the boardwalk and the first pic of them in profile in front of the running sculpture. Haven’t checked out your blog in a while, and boy did I miss a lot! I always enjoy your positive, uplifiting thoughts and you continue to grow by leaps and bounds as a photographer. Great job!
Ryan - Hi Jackie,
