Women's Branding Photography for Interior Design | Cynthia Fuessel

My dear friend Cynthia is one of those people who walk in sunshine. She's been my friend through some of the very hardest times of my life, and she will always give you her complete attention. She loves her family, she loves her friends, and she genuinely cares about people. It's a gift that she has, listening and loving. 

But one of my favorite things about her, is that she went back to school, after her babies were born, and tirelessly pursued her dreams. Sometimes it's the smallest things that push us into our path, and just letting go of the fear that we aren't capable/worthy/talented enough. One picture on Humans of New York, with the line...I wasn't lucky enough to have ever found what I wanted to do. Don't get me wrong--I did nicely. But I never found my passion."

She's days away from her Interior Design Degree, Designing for Sage Homes, and generally conquering the world. I want to photograph all women like this. Women who run the world, with grace and kindness, and leave everyone a little bit better for it. Even better is women who lift up other women and focus on community over competition. So proud of you Cyndo!

“This is That Lady Beauty, in whose praise
Thy voice and hand shake still, - long known to thee
By flying and fluttering hem, - the beat
Following her daily of thy heart and feet, 
How passionately and irretrievably, 
In what fond flight, how many ways and days”

— Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Utah Mountain Engagement Photos | Shaelyn & Tyler

Love looks like a lot of things. But the love that looks like laughter is maybe my favorite love of all. It can weather a whole lot of storms. I feel like I'm probably right in the middle of this. And that's strange. For a long time I thought I was at the beginning, but 18 years maybe puts me past the start. Sometimes I miss the not knowing. There's a weariness that can come with life. It can weigh you down and beat you up, and you weather the knocks and then stand back up. But there is also a strength that comes with that. And we can you can do it as a team, when you can laugh late at night, because all three kids cried at different times, and you forgot the things you needed to remember, and when your son Jack keeps saying, Dammmit! Ha! It's good to have that laughter in your back pocket. And when you have problems, it's when you forgot to laugh, at yourself, at life, with your partner.

So starting out with joy. It's not such a bad way to begin all that is coming. All the good. All the tears. All they whys? When I see couples, like Shaelyn & Tyler, just starting but laughing the whole way, when their bodies find each other, and their eyes connect together, it makes me say, YES! You, you've found it. You've found the piece that matters.

Thank you, Shaelyn & Tyler, for letting your joy shine during your engagement photo session.
