Sometimes things don't always go as planned. Take this session with Jazmine and Erik, for example. We had two other locations in mind before we settled on Plan C: the lake. When we arrived, we had briefly paused at two spots before stopping at a little cove I hadn't visited before. Poor Jazmine twisted her ankle as we were walking towards the water's edge... but we made do and Jazmine was a trooper. I can't wait for their wedding this Fall because these two are so chill, so relaxed, so content just to be with each other. And that's what it's about.
What we ended up with was a gorgeous sunset with the moon overhead in the sky. A perfect breeze. A mild reprieve from the overwhelming heat we've been experiencing this summer. The quiet sounds of the water lapping the sand...and a random speedboat blaring "Pony" by Ginuwine (because every engagement session needs that to be part of the soundtrack.) I took off my boots, rolled up my jeans, and waded out in the water for a few shots. While I wasn't able to get every single shot I had planned out in my mind, maybe that was for the best. Sometimes serendipity truly shows up for us in the most unexpected ways.
