You know that feeling you get when you photograph your high school girlfriend and her husband?

Jenny and Will are two of my oldest friends and I love them dearly, so these are some of my favorite portraits. They are a step outside my usual style. No elaborately created set, no surreal costuming or props. In fact all I did was bring a little more light out onto the back porch while we sat around in Tucson (the place I'm from and Jenny never left) drinking a sampler of strange foreign beers. I love them, among other reasons, because their life is simple, happy, and as far as I can tell, exactly the way they want it.

Life here is by turns intense, beautiful, stressful, bizarre, fabulous (with a hand gesture) and full of passion, but rarely do I find the kind of perfect contentment I feel when I spend an evening visiting with Jenny and Will.
