McKenzie & Michael | Ca d'Zan Engagement

August 11, 2015/ Jennifer Blair

Engagement sessions are so dear to my heart. I love the thrilling emotion that radiates from a newly-engaged couples. McKenzie and Michael's session at the Ca d'Zan Ringling Mansion was jaw-droppingly gorgeous. It has taken me months to event attempt to post a few here because of my immense pile of favorites. When we chatted about where to photograph this session, I knew the mansion in Sarasota was perfect. Together they are bright and bubbly. Their love can't be disguised and written all over their faces. Of course, I also love these two because they also adore all things blue-green hued. Here are just a few of my favorites from our time together.

Love is Messy

July 28, 2015/ Jennifer Blair

Love is a messy thing. If I've learned one lesson in this past year, my intro into motherhood, it's that love makes a wreck. When you truly, deeply love someone that love comes in and turns everything upside down. For me, love always comes slowly. The first sign of feeling love's crazy emotional roller coaster isn't thrilling for me, but sobering. I see myself going up and up and up, knowing there is about to be a crazy ride down, then up again, then down again for the rest of my life. Love, for me, is saying "yes" to all of it. My personality can easily make love's wild ride seem steady by looking at the bigger picture, but it is chaotic nonetheless. Love grabs me and takes me through it all. It turns and whirls unexpectedly, and it has made a mess of things before I even realize it at all. Love is a messy, wild thing.
