Couple portrait session at the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon

One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to document the greatest emotion - love. Ambrosia and Sonny met me at the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, Oregon on a sun-soaked autumn day.





Although the weather didn't have a drop of rain in the forecast, that didn't stop us from creating an escape from the rain noir-style story. We also created another scene, telling the story of a quiet read in the garden.


I've known Ambrosia for many years and have had the privilege to work with her by creating some blog content together.




Ambrosia is an inspiring business owner, hairstylist, and educator. It was my first time meeting Sonny. It was such a lovely experience to see how much these two adore each other. I could tell from their laughs, affection, and kindness towards each other that they are the best of friends and have a love that inspires those love story movies that make us cry.
