I stand back, I set my camera settings, I click click click, and I watch while love happens in front of my camera. This was one of those sessions. In the East Village, Des Moines, a place I’d never shot before, two beautiful women showed up, completely in love, and they made my job super easy. Here are just a handful of my favorites.
