jeff reminded me a few weeks ago that every year the yellow flowers come to town and every year i say im going to take the family out in them and every year … i dont.
so last saturday we had nothing planned. and shane and rachel were coming over.
so i cooked up a little outing.
i have only just begun to work on the photos that we took, (i did a shoot with the two lovebirds and in between they shot us) and ive been sitting on these since saturday and i just cant anymore. i just have to share these because as you can imagine i look at photos like this everyday. but they never have me in them. or my husband. or my children. or OUR connection. or OUR love.
and now, thanks to jeff pushing me to do this, and shane for playing photographer, i do.
this photo makes my HEART BURST INTO A TRILLION PIECES OF TINY HOT PINK GLITTER.
and this one, i just have no words. like i said, i am rarely in photos. i LOVE the yellow flowers. like, i love them so much my soul drinks them in with every glance i get. i drive down streets surrounded by them and i cant stop looking at them and taking in the beauty and serenity of them. they bring me peace. the beauty of them washes over me everyday from march-may. so to have this shot of me is seriously a big deal. a huge deal. we were walking back to the car and i was looking at the images quickly in the back of the camera when walking and when i came across this one i screamed out loud to jeff. the flowers, the light, the way i am looking at him (he was shooting these), the outfit rachel and i carefully chose, the crop. yes i set up the shot but he clicked at JUST THE RIGHT SECOND.
and this
you can only kind of tell that the strap of my dress had popped off when i was getting back up from laying on the ground and was tucked ever so delicately into my bra strap.
but you can TOTALLY tell how happy i was in this moment.
happy happy happy happy happy.
i love feeling happy.
just as much as i love the yellow flowers.
gorgeous … i dream about having pics like this of me … or at least pics of me that I like!
I usually lurk and admire but I had to drop a line….these photos are stunning. just beautiful. the light, the flowers, your gorgeous self…makes for a perfect combination. happy sunday.
I am almost at a loss for words… the love from you two is perfectly expressed here! Fabulous capture!
The photos of you are incredibly beautiful!
You must be so thrilled.
I, too, love the yellow flowers.
they haven’t created the words yet to describe the love and drop-my-jaw-to-the-ground-and-scream-‘i’m-not-WORTHY!!!’ that got captured here. (p.s. – i’m with noel holly: where is this field?!)
Beautiful as always – and I have to know where you got that dress!
