Last year we had the absolute joy and honor of doing Rosie & Micah’s brand session for their business, Cherishing Oneness!

Rosie & Micah have have always been really good at asking extremely good questions. After they got married, they decided to create relationship bundles for couples. Their brand is called Cherishing Oneness and it is so beautiful!! Ian and I have almost all of their resources and they are *so* good!!!

As they were preparing to launch, Rosie & Micah realized they needed branding photos! They kindly asked us if we would be able to do that for them. We had never done branding photos before this but had been wanting to try, so we wholeheartedly said yes.

Using a questionnaire I sent them, Rosie & I worked out a plan to accomplish all of their photo goals in the few single hours we had together. First, we hammered out their vision for the branding session. We figured out what specific photos they needed to tell the story of their brand. Then, we made a plan for how to get those during our time together!

The night before the shoot, Rosie texted me asking for prayer because she & Micah were both pretty sick. We prepared ourselves for the possibility we might have to cancel. Though they were still pretty sick the next day, they decided to go ahead with it and I was so proud of them… I couldn’t even tell that they weren’t perfectly healthy.

The house we were doing their brand session in ended up being quite small! It was more like a tiny little apartment than a house, actually. 🙂 We were continuously moving our equipment and props out of the background, haha! But we made it work quite well and that little condo was so *perfect* for their brand! It was pretty much the exact colors and vibe they were going for so that worked out perfectly too!! And oh my, you should just look at those decorations!! It was so *cute*!!!

Moving as quickly as we could, we hammered so much out in such little time! I also have to brag on Rosie & Micah quite a bit because they were so clear on what they wanted. They also completely and thoroughly trusted us, which made it so easy to work with them!

We have learned SO much since this brand shoot last year! AI generative fill hadn’t even come out yet… I remember meticulously removing distracting objects from the background like outlets and light switches. That would be so much easier to do now. I am so grateful for that new aspect of technology and all we have learned since.

To summarize, we had an utterly splendid time together. We accomplished so much, had so much fun, and snapped a gazillion photos. It’s so fun to see them use them almost daily on their Instagram feed! It still thrills me so much every time I see one of their posts pop up. 🙂

Enjoy this blast from the past!!
