Amy and Tim – Beloved Photographer, Madison WI

Another awesome couple and their beautiful love story in a Beloved session. They’ve been together for over 17 years and it only keeps growing stronger… It was Tim who did the first move long ago but Amy shared she knew she is going to marry him even before they started dating. It was again an amazing experience for me to capture their laughs, tears, joy and all other genuine emotions and expressions while they were sharing and rediscovering each other… This Beloved session was a perfect start for their date they planned afterwards Thank you for sharing your story and a part of your day with me. Here are just some of the beautiful moments I witnessed…

Alicia and Ted – Beloved Photography, Madison WI Photographer

This session was a special photographic adventure for me. My first attempt to do an entire shoot without a typical “look at the camera and smile” expression. Instead I wanted this session to focus on a relationship and on celebrating love. My intent was to create more genuine, moving images. Alicia and Ted were perfect for this Beloved approach and open to experiment with me. They are high school sweethearts who’ve been together for over twenty five years and are amazing, dedicated parents to six great kids. We met on one cloudy weekday morning to capture with my camera what they are like together and why. It was beautiful to experience how they connected with each other in a completely genuine and heart-warming way. I loved that, and not just because I got some wonderfully authentic images but also because it seemed like they really enjoyed the experience as well Here are just a few of their beautiful real expressions and emotions I was able to capture…

Mira and Chris – Beloved Couples Session, Sauk Prairie WI Photographer

Today I want to share with you one of my biggest WPPI discoveries this year. While in Vegas I had a chance to meet Jesh de Rox and watch a couple of his short presentations about an emerging genre of photography called “Beloved”. Seeing Jesh work and witnessing amazing results he was creating with couples who volunteered to be his “muses” was an amazing experience. It was unbelievable how in the middle of a crowded, busy and noisy tradeshow floor he could draw beautiful, authentic, deep emotions from his subjects. It was hard to hold back tears. Immediately I was hooked, it felt so right and I wanted to know more. I learned about The Beloved Collective that serves and supports the amazing community of photographers who are integrating Beloved Technique into their portrait sessions through products, online training courses and an annual conference. I am so excited to be now a part of this amazing group. In addition to launching a new website the Beloved Collective has just released the first Family Field Guide, which brings the power of Beloved Technique to the fields of family & children photography. I bought it and started studying it immediately

I will be participating in a Beloved training soon and can’t wait to incorporate this technique with my clients. I have always strived to capture people’s inner beauty, but I admit that at times it was challenging. Now with the Beloved approach I am confident I can do it with anybody, even people who don’t feel comfortable at all in front of the camera.

I actually couldn’t wait to try the new technique and I had my first beloved session while still in Vegas. Mira and Chris have been married for over 20 years. When I explained the concept to them they were not sure if they would be my best models. Fortunately I was able to convince them otherwise and I am so glad I did! It was beautiful to witness how quickly they opened up and expressed their authentic emotions, genuine personalities and love they feel for each other. After so may years it was still almost tangible. Here are a few images from our quick session. I think they did great, what do you think?

Sarah and Trent – Beloved Session, Spring Green WI Photographer

Sarah and Trent are a warm, sweet, friendly and deeply-in-love couple. This session was their fifth anniversary gift to themselves. What an amazing idea to celebrate love! They were so into each other, genuine, loving  and happy. Capturing their special connection was an amazing experience for me, my first attempt at the beloved session. The farm where they live near Spring Green, WI had everything a photographer might wish for: an old barn, hay bales, wild flowers and lots of trees. Just perfect. See for yourself…
