Something fun.  Something goofy.  Something genuine.

Meet Brandon and Ro.  When he wasn’t being  silly to make her laugh, they were looking at each other with the most intense love I’ve ever witnessed.

They definitely have that something.  I’m honored to capture it.

I couldn’t get enough of their shoes.  I had to force myself to stop taking pictures of them.

Bam.  Look at those eyes.  Such a beauty.

I’ve been itching to get out shooting with all of the beautiful colors on display, and got just the chance to do that. Meet Andray and Kellye. They met one night cruising Powers… Kellye did exactly what her mother would tell her not to do : she pulled over to talk to him {a complete stranger}. Sparks flew and it’s been love ever since. Sometimes it pays to not listen to your parents.

And Kellye was afraid she was going to look goofey in all of the photos. What a knockout.MCCUIEN 0120

Somehow we managed to get a little lost at Garden of the Gods. Good thing Andray has a built in self Tom-Tom.
