"This is how it works, You peer inside yourself, You take the things you like & try and love the things you took. And then you take that love you made and stick it into someone else's heart, pumping someone else's blood" - Regina Spektor

Meet the beautiful Miss Ryan and the fantastic Sir Jake. They make my heart go pitter-patter. If you really must know, I have a crush. These two got engaged recently and were our models for our group mentor session in Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago. They recently moved from LA back to Oklahoma to start their lives together. These two are authentic, free, fun-loving and have a little bit of Boho that runs through their veins. I personally take a liking to that particular recipe of person :). 

Ryan is a jaw dropper... beautiful in every sense of the word. Ryan and I actually met & became friends about five or six years ago and we immediately connected on a level much deeper than surface conversation. She is an artist, an animal lover and a kindred spirit. I'm so happy that Jake and Ryan found one another. They make a completely perfect match. I think the captures of them really speak for themselves; their love is so real, honest and playful.  These two are just two peas in a pod and we feel so blessed to capture them during this sweet season. 

Also, a big thank you to Jessica Bottomly for doing the make up for this shoot!
