Beloved

TLee has been training as a photographer and took DH and I out for what is called a "Beloved" shoot. Meant to capture the essence of our relationship, instead of having us just posing together TLee gave us invitations of ways for us to interact with each other and just snapped shots along the way. We went to the temple where DH and I were married and, despite the falling rain, got the most stunning, touching photographs I've ever seen of the two of us. The beauty is that each emotion is genuinely real. Major props to TLee for the breathtaking pics. Click on any one of them to enlarge.




In this next set, TLee told me to think of all the things I was grateful for in DH and then say thank you only by touching his face. I was immediately brought to tears. I am grateful to DH for so much.



And.... then I gave DH a tittie-twister.

TLee told us to imagine the scenario that DH and I were dead and our kids later came across one photo of us they'd never seen. What would we want it to tell them about our relationship? I think this one is it.


Thank you so much TLee, for capturing these moments in time. We love you. And I love DH so much too.

These are absolutely amazing. I swear I can feel the emotion in each of those photos (you almost made ME cry). Your personalities really shine through.
