During our workshop in Australia, we did a mini shoot that was about 15-20 minutes with this fabulous couple, Lana & Frank. They were kind enough to put their love on display in front of all of our attendees which takes a great deal of courage, so I really have to commend them for being open to the experience. 

These two were so wonderful to photograph. When I asked Lana what her favorite thing was about Frank she said she loves his sense of humor. And when I asked Frank the same question he said how much he loves Lana's laugh. It was adorable to see that in action. Lana would just light up when Frank would look at her a certain way and her laugh was effervescent. I love that I am able to peek into these sacred moments in peoples lives. I still have to pinch myself that I get to do a job where I am paid to capture those cherished and beautiful parts of people. What an honor it is. Every day I wake up feeling grateful to do what I do.
