Hope Valley // Couples Session

Isaiah + Dyana

How It Came Together

Every now and again while scrolling I become inspired. This time in particular the inspiration drew in a couples session. On my scrolls, a recent follower (Dyana) shared a video of her and her partner, Isaiah. From just a birds eye view, their relationship was not shy on adventure and their chemistry was undeniable. The post that drew me in was funnily enough a short video of her and him splashing around in the ocean where a simple kiss led to a butt grab that led me to my official decision : ” I NEED THEM IN FRONT OF MY CAMERA “ .

While I typically get the inquires.. not make them, I felt called to tell their love story. Photographers have to shoot their shot too, ya know. Turns out, Dyana had been eyeballing my Instagram and was more than excited and happy to accept.

How Its Going // Couples Session in Full Swing

Isaiah and Dyana already knew of a location that was close to their heart, private and beautiful so we set a date and drove up to the gorgeous landscape of Hope Valley, California. I wanted this to feel like a fun date. I prefer all my sessions to feel unique to my clients, so Isaiah brought along his fly fishing gear. Thankfully, Dyana brought the bug spray and I had the camera so we were all happy. While we hiked to the location we got to know each other even more which gave us plenty of time to break the ice before I put my lens in their faces. The location was even more breath taking than I had thought. The sun was setting just behind the mountains and the sound of the river added an even more tranquil effect. It was dreamy, golden and peaceful.

The session itself was everything these images feel like, fun, carefree, romantic (maybe even a lil spicy) and warm. The love between these two didn’t take any convincing. Its a real, unconditional and effortless relationship.

Wrapping Up

Once we were all packed up and headed home I darted to my computer regardless of it being so late. This was the kind of gallery that just couldn’t wait. I wasn’t wrong, these were exactly what my creative soul was in need of, however, I was far more pleased when Dyana and Isaiah said ” we are in love with them!” (WHEW cus I WAS TOO).

This couple will always hold a place in my photography heart. I can’t thank them enough for being the fun, loving and adventurous souls that they are. A couples session I will truly never forget and I am forever grateful for their trust in me to document their romance.
