We love to tell stories in our photos. Stories filled with connection, romance, & playfulness. And if we can involve a sense of mystery, otherworldliness, or the sense of the sublime, we believe we've created an atmosphere perfect for an emotional connection with our audience; you.
Justin & Allison's in-love session is set on an epic backdrop of volcanoes, mountains, and sand-duned cityscapes. Michelle and I look at ourselves as artists "painting with a camera" rather than photographers shooting fine-art. Behind every photo shoot lies a concept, which is key in telling each story.
As we evolve, I hope we move farther away from photography and portraiture, and into the world of painter and illustrators, only using a different medium in which to release our creative vision.
I believe when you look at each of these photos, you can get a sense of something bigger going on, drawing you in and making you ask yourself question. Where are they headed, how far do they have left to go? What metaphor is being written for the story behind the image?
A photo leaving you wondering "what lies beyond the scene", in my mind, is more exciting and intriguing.
I don't want to fear failing, I rather fear the idea of not jumping off the edge to dive into a deeper world of creativity.
much love,
-TJ

Thank you so much for coming to Albuquerque to photograph my brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law! You have an amazing gift, I have never seen such beautiful pictures that convey so much love! The scenery here is spectacular, but what you did for Allison and Justin is stunning! Best wishes to you!
