Every now and then you meet people by chance.

You watch them from a distance. A silent spectator. You see their joy, their struggles, and their pain. You cheer them on as they overcome.

And sometimes, you are given the opportunity to be a part of their story.

I met Megan several years back during a blind model call. Our ideals of female models in society matched and meeting another photographer with similar feelings on making women feel beautiful with the skin they are currently in made it an easy partnership to foster.

Megan doted on her husband a lot during that first session. Smitten is a great way to describe it. Utterly, and completely in love with the man of her dreams. Most certainly, his biggest cheerleader too!

Photographing Megan was easy and natural. The conversation flowed like that of old friends just catching up on life.

It would be a long time before we met up again, and during that period of time Megan and Jeff experienced more moments of joy and unfortunately heartache as well. During that time I was the silent spectator, the bystander peering into the world of two beautiful people, praying they'd pull through.

And they did.

Congratulations Megan & Jeff. Many blessing to you both and the sweet little life you've created.

Thank you for bearing the frigid temperatures, wind, and snow/hail mother nature bestowed on us in April.
