Olita & Steve are so thoughtful, sweet, smart and absolutely full of joy. Olita is a striking beauty. Steve is so smart, driven and the way he looks at Olita will make your heart melt. My cheeks hurt after my time with them... It felt good to have my cheeks hurt like that. Their session reminded me of exactly what I love about clicking the shutter. Steve and Olita let their guard down with me, showed me who they really are without reservation. Those are the kind of people I love to make magic with. These two ebb kindness and it rubs off on everyone they come into contact with, we feel fortunate to have them in our little "Sarah Rhoads Family." :)

Olita had her hair & makeup done for the session by Tiffany Lowry who somehow managed to make one of the prettiest girls in the land even more gorgeous (a task which seems close to impossible). I had such a fun afternoon hanging out around Ballard and going to the beach with these two. They are an absolute delight to be around. We cannot wait to share their big day with them this summer!
