There’s not enough of this in my view. Frivolity. It’s underrated. Doing things you want to do “just because” you want to do them? We need more of that. We’re all for duty, family, responsibility, setting goals and achieving them, but COME. ON. Sometimes, you need to hit the “Just Because” button, pick up your pass at the counter and cash it in.
This shoot of Daniel and his long-time girlfriend Sarah is one such example.

Daniel was one of our All About Prom models in 2013 and he’s been a Pixels and photo enthusiast since. [WE LOVE YOU TOO, DANIEL!!] So, when he approached us and asked if he had to be engaged to have an “portrait session,” we said of course not! You don’t have to be married, engaged, or even in a relationship to have photographs taken by a professional.
Life is short. If you have a person (or pet) you love, an event, an important time in your life you want captured forever, get a pro involved. We met these two in Elkin, NC just as the seasons were changing from summer to autumn and after we made them comfortable in front of the camera, they fell into their own groove and their personalities really shined through. The image of Sarah above looking at Daniel is an example. There’s a lot going on in that look and smile, I think.
