We recently got to go to Europe after years of failed plans (thanks, COVID), and really felt like we finally understood the obsession behind it. For years, Breelle felt as though she was trapped in a small town, and now sees how accessible the world around her is.

We took note of all the differences: the architecture, the food, the ART... but more importantly, we took note of all of the things that were the same: people talking, children laughing, love stories EVERYWHERE. It has given us not only inspiration to shoot and look at things that are visually different, but also to capture those scenes that will never change. 

Traveling abroad

In our house, we typically decorate with flowers EVERYWHERE. Little figurines of Greek philosophers (one of my favorite things to read), and vintage teapots, favorite books, and film cameras. But, we also throw in some Classic Horror books, artist renditions of old horror classics and a glowing neon sign that says "haunt me".
We think what makes life so beautiful - is the promise of an ending....

So we celebrate the small moments, the mundane, the ordinary. Because those moments make up the majority of our lives - and we want our space, and ultimately our photography - to reflect that. To create photos so haunting, that they are enchanting and live on beyond this lifetime.

The juxtaposition of life & death

The details of a person feel so intimate... The beauty marks on their faces, the way they say certain words different from all the rest, the strange things they like versus the ones they absolutely hate... The way they love gold jewelry but also adore old turquoise on silver, too...

To know someone intimately is to know these details, and to capture them intimately is to capture the details. Added touches of florals and ribbons and bows, pearls or candles or rings, arranged differently from one couple to the next... These details matter to me because without them, we will never have the full story of who you are.
