Love Story Session: Ivy and John

Love story sessions at JSP are a little different... Instead of going to beautiful locations, with spectacular views, or amazing props and decor, these sessions capture couples just as they are.... that is, what they love doing, things that are important to them, and just documenting their essence in their day to day lives. It could be in their home, or following them on a date, to washing dishes or fixing car together, doing laundry together, enjoying coffee, listening to music, cooking, or just shooting them doing whatever they love most. The heart of these sessions are really to show who the couple are in their daily lives so that they can look back at the images and say, this is really us to the core.

I had the pleasure of documenting Ivy and John's love story awhile back and it still brings a smile to my face everytime I see these images, because I know it really is THEM. There is nothing fancy or artsy fartsy about these images, but what I adore seeing is just Ivy and John being who they are in their home, doing what they love in pure simplicity. Thank you for inviting me into your home and your lives for just one afternoon, Ivy and John. It really was an honor... so relaxing that it almost felt like I was not working :)

I loved their house - cosy and homely, but at the same time modern and full of beautiful natural light!! :D

Inclusive of a cool and very big vege garden out the back! :D

Pretty kitchen with lovely window light :)
