CHLOE' & TROY CELEBRATE 5 YEARS

The morning of the photo session was quiet and warm. I desperately thrifted this plum set the evening before the shoot. It fit perfectly, and happened to be my favorite color. We showed up and our photographer Kiki (Kalie) immediately channeled our vision. Troy and I wanted a natural look, which influenced us to experiment with film. Film is really beautiful because the shots are so true, there are no do-overs. My friend Eric let us use his front porch and offered us cold water. This shoot felt quaint, special, and seamless. Phoenix managed to sneak in the last couple shots. I feel really lucky to experience true love. Our fifth year has been the best yet.

My most cherished moments are the simple ones. The Sunday mornings taking turns on the speaker. Listening to music, getting ready for our day. Existing together. I am most proud of our parenting style, and our friendship.

I have a partner who is strong, honest, and passionate. Most importantly, he chooses me everyday.
