Feeling like it's 1994...

This afternoon I came out to the living room and I heard my husband playing guitar on our back deck.  For those that know him, he is a unique soul.  He goes against the norm on most levels and lives life in his own way.  When I see him though, I see 1994, we were 15 and 17.  He captured my heart back then and even when we parted ways for many years, I am certain he still held a piece of it.  When life (fate, destiny, god) brought us back in to one another's life it was instant magic.
Well... as these years pass I must admit I still look at him like that school boy crush that I had back in 1994. So when I heard him outside playing, I immediately grabbed my camera.   I saw this story last week of a photographer, the man was in his 80's I believe.  He spent his life photographing his family, but he photographed his wife in a way that was so beautiful.  You could see his love for her through his photographs of her.  He captured her. So it inspired me to capture Mat the way I see him.  I want to capture the reasons I love him.  I want to look back when I am 40,50,70, 80, and know that I can see how he evolves or remains just the same. I want to see him being him, doing the things he loves.  He had no idea this is what I was thinking of when I was snapping away as he was playing the guitar.
So this is Matthew, he still wears flannels, tshirts, and has messy hair all of the time. I love it though. I love every tiny detail of all of it.   So here are the shots I got of him this afternoon.





















Until next time... xo
