…always comes from unlikely places. For me, it’s usually anything visually bold and striking. Painfully bright colors, wild contrast, breathtaking poses. Dramatic light, modern style, all things glamorous. That’s my inspiration, and that usually describes how I see the world through my camera.

But lately, I’ve found myself inspired by all things soft, girly, dainty, ethereal, “princess,” vintage. It’s certainly not my style, but I’m feeling the need to delve into that artistically.

Here’s where I’ve started. I think I’m definitely going to work with this style some more, at least in my personal work!

He hates getting his picture taken. I wonder what he expected, marrying a photographer?

Mark and I didn’t take a whole lot of pictures during our first year of marriage. He was in law school, I was in grad school, we were busy; and, well, who was going to take them anyway? Baxter can hardly manage to walk or sit straight, let alone sprout opposable thumbs and maneuver half his weight in camera equipment.

Since having the incredible opportunity to be photographed by Jasmine Star several months back, I’ve tried to make it a priority to snap photos every now and then. Returning from Vegas and having a beautiful photographic record of the experience was so cool, and it dawned on me that it didn’t have to be a one-time deal. After all, my opposable thumbs work just fine and my 5D has a highly customizable self-timer to boot.

So the other day, I put on my favorite blue dress and drug Mark out the edge of town for a few quick snapshots of just another Lawrence day together. Next time, we’ll take Baxter along with us. And he will undoubtedly be sitting crookedly, just the way I like him.

Stay tuned; Katie and Jake’s wedding photos will be up SOON!
