Katie and TJ engagements

Honestly guys, I could have shared every single one of these pictures with no shame...I practically did! I was so lucky to shoot my Brother TJ's engagements with his drop dead gorgeous fiance Katie. The lighting, their beautiful faces, the atmosphere could not have been better, and honestly... I do not think I could have taken a bad picture of these two, I mean look at them! Total babes! I used Kodak Portra 160, and 400 speed film...and I loved it. I learn something new with every roll I take. Let me shoot your engagements and/or portraits! Tessashaeffer@gmail.com

You wanna know what else is so wonderful? FILM. You know why? No crops, no edits, nothing. It is what it is. There is Something so great about pure raw footage.

Wanna know what else is completely real and natural? Katie's eyelashes! I could not get over them. Take a good look, they are amazingly long and ALL her! Beeaaauutttiiiiuuuflllll giirrrll.

"Love is all" by the Tallest Man on Earth. Favorite line:"Well I walk upon the River like its easier than land". The song always connected deep, and always seemed suitable while on one of our mother nature adventures. I just now looked up the video and it is completely perfect. Relationships between friends and family, surrounded by Earth and all its beauty it has to offer. Makes me think of Adam and I and our adventures, and the many more to come. I love the great outdoors,and sharing it with those I love. It is all that I need.

A little kayak trip we had in California for Adam's belated birthday celebration back in July. Loved it all, including him the most. Gotta love disposable under water cameras.

The the contrast of expressions and moods that present themselves with baby's each second of every day amaze me. What a babe this boy is! More to come of my favorite people.

This was how sad Adam was to pack up and go.
