Letchworth State Park is a beautiful park just south of Buffalo, NY & never disappoints no matter what season it is! Whether there is snow on the ground or the sun is shining, this little Western New York gem is always breathtaking.
This engagement photo shoot was absolutely beautiful. We waited so long for the leaves to change and I’m so glad we held out because that day was just magical. I always love getting out and exploring with my couples because not only are we able to take some incredible photos but it also helps us get to know each other on a more fun, real level. Thankfully Sarah is a Buffalo Bills fan & she was able to show her pride for the team during her engagement session.
Sarah and Brandon were such troopers, we got lost in the woods for a minute but we persevered and found our way back to the car (I promise it wasn’t that bad). We ended up finding some beautiful spots! It was such a blast getting to know them better and I’m so excited for their wedding. This engagement session also marks one of my favorite times shooting at Letchworth State Park, which was absolutely spectacular.
As I sit here trying to decide which photograph to use for the blog I am reminded of how beautiful this session was. The golden light, the green trees, the crisp fall air…it was just magical.
I absolutely love these photo because it says so much about Sarah and Brandon’s relationship! Here are some of my favorite shots from our time together!
![BARE is about
Being vulnerable
Getting intimate
Living free
So I want to take THIS week as an opportunity to connect with you outside of the holidays and being bombarded by a million ads and get vulnerable with you.
To ask you…
How can you give yourselves MORE pleasure, DEEPER intimacy, and LESS stress?
Does this look like more time spent in nature or slowly sipping on a warm cup of tea, tasting and feeling every sweet drop on your tongue. Or maybe it's completely changing your perspective from "I have to" to "I get to" when you are doing the chores or tasks you loath. Or, could it be choosing to let go of the friend and family that give you the most drama and heavy heart.
I did just this. Last year, I made a commitment to myself- and it was a really big one!
I decided I would no longer live with the thorn of guilty and shame around my lack of intimacy and sexuality.
Yeah, you might be surprised by that one.
But, this thorn was so cork screwed inside of me that I cried at the thought of it being gone, Bc I had no idea what it would feel like to live without it.
Isn’t that crazy?! It was almost more comfortable to live with the discomfort than to remove it.
WILD
And I’ll tell you now, a year later- that the hardest part of all this was the CHOICE to no longer live with the guilt, shame, and trauma of intimacy and my sexuality.
It took me committing to this YES in order to crack wide open and completely surrendered to my pleasure and desires. All while also removing any of the guilt I carried for being a sexual being.
