Sarah + Ben :: Engaged
”The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” — Picasso.
Though I love people of all shapes, colors, sizes, and personalities, I feel most at ease when I am amongst kindred spirits. Sarah and Ben are also artists, and there is something comforting knowing that they understand that need to create and to express, just as I do. Sarah, long legs and a heart of gold, is a beautiful dancer who moves through life with the grace of a gazelle. It’s no wonder why heartthrob and musician Ben, with the warmth of the sun in his smile and a voice sent from the heavens, is so enamored with her. These kids are about to graduate from SMU, and will embrace the real world by each others’ sides come May. I can’t wait to see what Sarah and Ben end up doing…whatever it is will be fabulous!
We hung out for a bit inside Bubba’s, a comfort food cafe near the SMU campus.
Are they the cutest or are they the cutest???
Adorable.
Favorite!
Favorite!
Striking, aren’t they?
Sarah and Ben twirled in front of the building they spend most of their time in on campus.
The way Ben dotes on Sarah is precious.
I almost died and went to heaven when this European chick with a rad orange scarf came up to get something out of one of the lockers. You guys know how I LOVE other people in my portraits. She was quite confused when I asked her to stay for a second!
Favorite! (Hey, I can have 3 or 37. It’s my blog!)
Oh! I love love love this one, too!
Ben found a piano and sang to Sarah. Sorry ladies, he is WAY taken.
Can you believe those eyes? Insanely beautiful, you are, Sarah!

Beautiful session! I have like 5 favorites too. (love the hallway shot along the lockers though…) I just love seeing the great work you’re doing! Can’t wait to see future posts.
Okay, so admittedly they ARE both amazing models to work with even if I am biased as Sarah’s mom! But you are an amazing professional! I have so enjoyed perusing your galleries on your website and enjoying the fun soundtrack that accompanies each set. You capture people SO authentically and yet in such unique, artistic ways, Kate. I absolutely love your work!! These photos and the wedding pics will be cherished in our family and in Lakeland, FL for many decades to come!
Grateful for your giftedness,
Jan
