Barefoot Love Engagement Session...

I am in awe over the simple beauty of Kate + Greg's engagement session by Clayton Austin!!! You can see the love story of this couple unfold image by image. And there is something so very romantic about them being barefoot. I just love it! Clayton truly does capture raw emotion in all of his photos, but on top of that, he is also a wonderful writer. Here is a bit of what he shared about this engagement session:

I can just imagine Greg and Kate rushing for the door, getting a late start for the four hour drive from Dallas to Austin the morning of their engagement session and just as they were about to close the door kate says “Wait, our prop! What do we bring as a prop??” Greg scans the house real quick and his eyes fall on the beautiful quilt thrown across the end of the bed. Their bed. “What about our blanket?” he says. “Perfect” kate sighs with relief. “The blanket is perfect.” Greg half folds it, half balls it up and thrusts it under his arm as they lock the door and head my way.

Yes, the blanket is perfect. It smells of home and of lovers wrapped up on a cold winter’s night. It feels like intimacy curled up between toes and after today it will remind them of this day, this moment spent just a few weeks before their wedding day when we all laughed barefoot in a chilly stream on a lazy sunday afternoon. And in the end we discovered that love is like Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. Without it there’s nothing to hold on to, nothing to keep us warm, nothing to remind us of home.
