alacia + caleb

moab portrait session

the time’s they are a changin’. i have one of mr. bobby d’s words ringing through my head as i go through alacia and caleb’s photos. i can feel my eye being pulled more towards natural tones, grit and grain, and images that spill over with emotion. as i’m culling i move fast, picking the images that make me feel something, anything, disregarding whether they’re absolutely perfect and extremely sharp. i want to create images that show a couple as they are, that show people as they are – beautiful, raw, and in their element.

lucky for me, alacia reached out when she and caleb planned another trip to moab this summer. we got to shoot together last summer on the solstice and i of course fell in love with the two of them. alacia is a kick ass photographer based out of iowa (check out her work!), and, obviously, is a total babe. they’re both incredibly down to earth and just freakin’ real. we spent a lot of time together, venturing out to a ghost town and then back along the colorado river. get your butts back here next summer and let’s do it again! xo
