Photographing couples that I admire and get to watch on a normal basis is a true treat.

Nate made a great observation on this next photo. He said he loves it because it looks as though their two heads are morphed into one. In that respect, I rather enjoy the difference between their expressions. These two wonderful people really compliment each other well.

As you have probably noticed, I love sunbursts. Sunlight brings things to life for me.

They are taken at the prairie inside of the Wetstone Park.

Hilary is such a strong woman with the most contagious child-like spirit. She was an absolute delight to photograph, so be prepared for many more to come this year.

Anyone who knows Remah knows that she has a beautiful connection with animals, especially horses. Watching her interations with Jewel, the horse in these photos, was magical. The early morning sun played a beautiful roll in capturing that magic.

I absolutely adore the fact that both Jewel and Remah have their eyes closed. The reason I like to take so many photographs at each shoot, is to capture such precious moments like this one.

I always love receiving feedback after a photo shoot. This email was sent to me on Valentines Day, and it was the best valentine that I could receive!

“Hey! Therese and I were just talking about how much we loved our photos and our time with you at our wedding back in August. We both just felt like we could never really thank you enough for not only the amazing work you do, but the way you made us feel and the way you worked with us. You have so much to offer the world and your enthusiasm is seriously inspiring (to us and probably everyone who knows you). So, thank you! We both wish you the very best.”

A favorite pass time of mine as a kid was searching through all those pictures, finding people that I knew or that looked like me. It feels like just yesterday when my Mom showed me her childhood photo that looked a ridiculous amount like myself. Or the day my Grandmother gave me all of my Dad’s old school pictures (he had the coolest buddy holly glasses!). When you’re a kid, it’s hard to see your parents as anything other than parents. Seeing where they came from and who they were felt like an intimate glimpse into where I came from and who I am. I want to create those moments for people. Photographs aren’t just for the people in them, they’re for those unborn people in our lives who will one day be searching through boxes (or whatever digital storing system we come up with) of photographs in search for where they came from.

I found this excellent blog recently that has a whole section dedicated to vintage photographs. There are tons from LIFE magazine. Here are a few of my personal favorites that I’ve seen from her blog.

Miss Moss

This next one reminds me of an old Ester Williams film.

This is a collection of my walk with Keenan under a bridge.

He spins records from the 50′s, 6o’s, and 70′s. Half way through I just put the camera away and danced, danced, danced!

A few of us took a walk one night, and I of course decided to document it.

They are such strong beautiful women.

This was taken on my front porch, right before the sun totally disappeared.  To me, this photo describes my summer with these wonderful friends.
