Amazing! Simply Amazing
These are just gorgeous! I love to hear how you faced your fear and challenged yourself... look what came from that.
Ummm...these images make me REALLY want to try this.
Definitely love the huge bubble shot and the ones with the lights?! Yes, lights? I love that one of your goals this year was to shoot underwater and you have accomplished that goal! yea! There is so much about this business that takes away from shooting, that sometimes I feel (and this is probably bad to say) that it takes away from me thinking in photography. The better and fuller an artist knows their medium the more they just start thinking and creating. All the business and nitty gritty just takes that time away from being able to aspire. So I definitely am cheering for you!
love the ethereal look to the underwater photos!
and the makeup underwater! :)
I love your photos.
They are so creative and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
luuuurve them!! I think the waters off Kona are always welcoming for an underwater shoot too! ;) My favorite is the third from last where she's just about to surface.
This is just beautiful, love your kindred spirit to experiment.
I've been wanting to go to Palm Springs, it's such a nice relaxing town, hope you enjoyed your stay. ;)
@mary these are a combo of Jai's clothes and my clothing :) don't over-think it. Most times what you need is right in front of you.
the color in the last one is to die for... love that blue :) i do have a question... when you're styling these sessions yourselves, does that mean you're purchasing the goods (clothes, shoes, accessories, etc.) or borrowing? or returning? ;) would love to do some "shoot for me" shoots, but the styling part stumps me...
These are awesome! Some of my favorite photos ever!
Wow. What an inspiring post, and not just becuase of the images, but the admission of doing something outside of the world of comfort. You are truly a teacher. Awesome shoot! LOVE the last shot. There is something beautifully serene about it :) Happy Tuesday!
I love these! My favourite is the 3rd from the end. It makes my heart happy.
omg......amazing, amazing, amazing! Sarah...you are so incredibly genuine about your work, your values and the person that you are! I truly admire you!
Ummm...Holy *%$#W#$IP#OJKLMRP#I)%I#)$U390&%()#&!!!! I'm typeless.
I absolutely love these. Awesome and yay you for you pushing your limits. I'd be a little freaked out tossing my camera into the water as well!
dangit.. I'm literally days away from moving to a place with a pool, already bought the under water camera & there you go ;P
the last one is the money shot. fun stuff :)

Okay seriously you are one of the coolest photographers around. I admire you so much, your work is extraordinary. You are so inspiring and I just love everything you do. Great work!!!!

These are some of my favorites of your work. I'd be super afraid that I'd ruin my camera! This is lovely.
I would be totally freaked out to dunk my camera too! I've heard it's good to sink the actual housing unit without anything in it prior to putting the camera in and dunking to make sure the actual unit isn't faulty first.
So glad you were able to try this! The photos are great and getting out of your comfort zone totally makes you grow as a person...and photographer!

SOOOO Awesome!!! You have done it again - I am STUNNED!!! GORGEOUS!!!
Love this shoot, I just realized I forgot to post after I spend an hour going through the 1st 10 pages of archives, but i guess I edit fast and was looking at as much as I could as fast as I could. Nice work. All of it.
These photos are so gorgeous. I love your site!
Some of the best work ive seen from you guys.. I love THIS you (picture me in my studio clapping for you, slow at first then faster and louder till everyone joins in).
Sarah + Chris, your lifestyle images are DOPE!
Gahhh...! =P
OMG, I am just in love. Seriously, I want a photo shoot with you... I'm in LA.
This has to be the ACE Hotel in Palm Springs, how lovely, just lovely!
Sarah & Chris - I LOVE this shoot, everything about it. You rocked it out... you should be proud!
every photo shoot you post becomes my new favorite shoot from you. i guess that's the way it should be! keep wowing me ... i know you will.
OOOOOooooo! I love the green and orange! And the black and white of Jai sitting by the window is so awesome! Great job!
These are Super Fun Sarah! Glad you had a wonderful time in Palm Springs :)
Such a fun shoot!! Awesome job!! I totally am an ENFP too!!!

So many awesome frames! Love the photo booth, love the orange door shot, love the green sofa shots!!! Another well done photoshoot!
looks like fun! could see them in a mag, love the one in the bikini leaning against the ice cream truck.
Love the energy you captured and created. You had a great creative team for this shoot!
Fantastic work. She's such a beautiful girl and you captured her so simple and fresh. Love it!

Energy and happiness are flowing down these ones !! Make me feel good !

These images are de-lish! You guys executed the concept perfectly!

Wow. These images are beautiful. I love the colours. Thanks for the tips. Can't wait to hit the streets with a smile and my camera!
I loved the quote by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Another great photographer that shoots in that style is Jeff Ascough (http://www.jeffascough.com/).
The sunset and the street one is beautiful and I agree with a previous comment about the monks and the camera.
sarah, thank you for sharing.
the one of the monk taking a photo of you is just priceless. i love that you can still see his big smile through his fingers and his happy squinty eye from the side. that pictures is so uplifting :))
I like the second to last image for it's depth and strong sense of place. Well done. The image of the scooters at sunset/sunrise is interesting too. Looks like something Nick Onken would shoot.
How fun! Thank you for posting more information on the art of "street photography." I actually just enrolled in a class called street photography, because I want to grow in that specific area! Which means I can't be shy anymore... :)
Thank you so much with sharing, I'm not a shy person at heart to take photos of people, but when I'm in another country I always tend to not get close-up and ask. Your tips will definitely help on my next trip. The photos are amazing! as I was scrolling through the post I was smiling - I love reading and viewing your blog it always makes me smile:)
i love it, thank you Sarah.
I'm going to go over to the Heavenly Village this week and practice some "street photography" for the first time...wish me luck!
Sarah, you know we've been blog stalking you for you a while. Your portraits from Thailand are so impressive and speak so much of your ability to relate to the people you photograph (even with language barriers) :-)
Nice post.
Have a look at the work of a great photographer, Raymond Depardon. I love his vision.

haha. love these! I too really like the monk taking your picture :) And thanks for sharing!
HAHAH! My FAVORITE is the one of the monk taking a photo you YOU! :) That one made me chuckle out loud. Love all of these. The woman in the purple headband is just mesmerizing! Her smile pulled me in. What gorgeous photos, and people!
As always, a lovely post from a lovely couple. I adore the monks with the camera and the watercolor artist the most...thanks for sharing some thoughts on capturing humanity in their elements!
Thanks for the insight and tips. I've been following your work for 2 months and have been inspired by each and every post. Thanks again!
I'm in love with these images. I like to do this same thing when I travel, but never got too many of the people because I was afraid to ask. Thanks for the info, I won't be afraid next time! Beautiful imagery.
Sad you're not coming to Texas....Austin is a cool city! Have fun in all your travels =)
Yaaay!!! So excited that you are coming to Maryland/DC!!! :-)
wow (period) ;)
Moab will be amazing. And if you are driving to Banff you HAVE to go up through Glacier NM. It will blow you away! Have fun and maybe we'll have that tea we talked about in 2011 :-)
you're going to LOVE Banff - it's only about 4 hours from my place! As a Canadian, let me be the first one to say Welcome! Too bad we couldn't book a quicky with ya :(
Lucky ducks! I'm envious that you have the opportunity to hop around the world. I'm ready to bust out of Oklahoma! Traveling with good company is the way to go. Bon voyage!
Great you're coming to Australia. Are you stopping in Sydney? I'd love to do a session with you if you are, and it happens to be my birthday that week, so a little treat to myself maybe! Can you email if Sydney is on the itinerary...so excited.
Ooh!! Where abouts in Australia are you going to be?? I know it won't be little old Hobart but you still might be close!
SR + CR = 'Most Popular' on my Seattle Superlatives :) Have such a great time and see you both on Halloween, YAY
I love it!! You guys are going to have a fun summer!
Yay August 7th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED!
Yay August 7th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO EXICTED!
@Millie Darn Staight!! ;) Moab will be lots of epic.
@Karen I have heard such great things about Banff yet we have never been so we're super excited!
We honeymooned in Banff! It's our destination of choice...you'll love it...Canada at it's finest :)
Many of those places look awesome but nothing is going to beat Moab, Utah. NOTHING! ;)
