I love it when an idea I have had for a while comes to fruition. Every time that I eat at Burger Up (which is more than I would like to admit), I glance longingly at the loading dock next door at the bookstore. I have wanted to photograph someone below the "receive" for a while. Kind of like I have wanted to photograph Taylor Swift on top of one of the "Swift" 18 wheelers for a while now too. Well you know which one was more likely to happen. So a few weekends ago, I made it happen. Kara + Justin were such great sports and hopped right up on the dirty loading deck. I love it when my clients are not afraid of my weird ideas. I loved the outcome and the poem I found by one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver...

The world is more than the beating of a single heart. It's praising. It's giving until the giving feels like receiving.
