Photography by Ryan Saul

As many of you already know I have a very talented husband. He is a gifted designer, extremely creative, and an amazing photographer. His skill in photography has bloomed into a wonderful gift. He has taken beautiful pictures of many of our friends and family, and is always wanting to take my picture. I unfortunately don't particularly enjoy my picture being taken, but last night the mood struck me! At around 11:30 last night I came up to Ryan who already had the look of "I'm getting sleepy" and said "wanna take some pictures?" Because my husband knows me well, he knew this chance may not come around again for some time so he said of course and was off setting up lights and all of his fancy equipment. Mean while I proceeded to "beautify" myself. To my surprise I really got into it and had a great time! After several hours of flashes and clicks we collected a good amount of pictures worth keeping. To my surprise (not at all to his ability but to my photogenic"ness") there were several beautiful pictures, that he and I were very proud of.

Today he spent some time correcting light balance, and working his magic and created these wonderful pictures that I am proud to call "ME!" So the clever soul that I am... I came up with a perfect name for his photographs, Backdoor Photography, for the simple fact that all of these pictures were taken in our garage right outside our backdoor. Whether he keeps the name is yet to be seen, but for now it works.

So thank you Ryan for making me feel beautiful and confident, and for loving me so completely!
