Forever.

That’s how long I’ve been meaning to share these with you. {you might recognize a portion of one of them that I’ve been using as my avatar for the last couple of months ;) } You know it’s moments like these when I’m about to post a series of photos from my personal life that I realize just how private I actually am. I think there must be a tiny struggle that happens within me every time I reveal more of my personal self on this blog. It’s awkward. Not even sure why? and it’s not really that important to know why, because I’m doing it anyway.

I’ve been an admirer for a while, so this was a treat! Earlier this year, Sean and I had a shoot with Wendy of Blue Lily Photo. And she’s awesome.  That about sums it up. So fun to shoot with, so effortless and efficient, and such beautiful photographs, I could hardly choose which ones to share with you, as is evidenced by the first and last photo {i just love that sky with those bright yellow flowers in the last one}. Let me also add that Wendy is a great teacher, particularly a very patient one. The day before the shoot I took a photography workshop with her, and now I’m proud to say that I might actually know how to properly use my Nikon D40. finally

Another reason I love Blue Lily is that she and her husband Tyler have taken their 2 children and are traveling the world this year. I mean really, traveling the world. It’s so exciting and so inspiring. Me next please. I think Sean and I secretly wished that we could have fit in their 2 suitcases ~ is that right Wendy? did you really pack everything in 2 suitcases for your family of 4 to travel to Australia and beyond? For now we will continue to follow along with them on their blog.

Oh, and my love for Sean. Well that’s in the photos.

The shots and you two are quite lovely! I need to take a photography workshop myself; thank you for the reminder and the inspiration. Not to be too superficial, but your outfits are so cute too. It pops out of and complements the scenery. Thanks so much for sharing your personal photos!
Such beautiful photos, you two look so good together and so in love :) Niki xxx
These photos are stunning, and the love shines through. Now I want a photo-shoot with Blue Lily for my family! Can't wait to go check out their blog to find out more about their trip around the world with kiddos...something Frank and I plan to do when ours get a little older too! xo
Holy crap.
Oh, Marisa. These pictures are just so, so beautiful. YOU are so, so beautiful. As is your love for Sean.

PS: I think it's really cute that you're shy to share your personal life with us. :)
Hi Marisa - the things I learn from you just never seem to end. I LOVE these pics of you and Sean. They are so natural and very unposed looking. (Love the yellow stripy boots - just the perfect touch.) Anyway, I went to bluefly and was blown away by their work. I have requested a timeslot for my niece and my sister in Camden Maine in September. My niece is expecting her first child and this is just the perfect opportunity to record this time in her life. Thanks for sharing
so lovely Marisa! I´m glad you shared them!!! Is really sweet ( and inspiring) to look at you too so in love!! : D
Oh Marisa! These are heartbreakingly sweet. I don't even think heartbreakingly is a word. And maybe it's a weird word to use... but these photos capture something so special between you and Sean that makes us all feel... what? Well, it made Lizzy cry. How about achingly sweet? Passionately? Poetically. Euphoriously. I'll keep working on it... Dang you two are cute. x
I adore these photographs!
Oh these photos are wonderful!
LOVE is not a strong enough word! You and Klaus are perfecto!!!!
