I’m crossing into uncharted territory.

On Saturday, I did a photoshoot for my friend Jaime and her boyfriend Steve. This is the first time I’d shot a couple, and I’d be lying if I said it was easy.

It wasn’t.

I have a lot to learn about working with people and how to make them feel more comfortable. I also have much to learn about using a huge honking seventeen-pound 80-200mm lens (which I used for both photos).

Yet despite my reservations, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Laughing with friends, snapping photos, and basking in the glow of two people who are very much in love.
