T&J
We became the closest of colleagues after a four hour car ride into the middle of the Texas desert. It was the summer I graduated from Brooks and I couldn’t wait to spend my time making art for five days under that big Texas sky (in an airstream too!!). Clayton’s styling and that puffy cloud light-I was a kid in a candy store. Talia is nothing short of what I know to be a real-life Wonder Woman. She loves her husband completely and without reservation. Jeff adores her, the children, he is kind and cherishes her every smile. Her ferocious heart is beating for healthy living and freedom. They are artists, lovers and humans, they are love. On this day it was their turn to shine. Everything about how I feel about this day has changed a million times, but they remain so in love working hard at it everyday. I love knowing Talia and Jeff’s love, today and always. My heart recognizes theirs through and through. They are in my soul family. Those tall blades of Texas grass let us know we were living our best life at that very moment. I knew I wanted to be a photographer for as long as I could tell more stories like this. Thank you for being my friend all these years guyz. You are magic. Thank you for the memories.
