Ryan Towe Photography

Madeline is the friend you go to when you’re having a bad day.  She equals total awesomeness with her positive, happy personality.  Everyone needs a Madeline in their life.  I seriously don’t know how I have been getting so lucky!!!  I’m just feeling totally blessed to photograph all of these awesome people lately.

Katie is just one of those people you feel comfortable with the second you meet her.  While walking around with her during the shoot, I had so much fun just talking with her and learning about what drives her.  She recently returned from a mission trip where she helped others by painting houses. You like her already, don’t you?  It doesn’t take much.She’s got such a kind heart, which made it all the more amazing to capture her. Thank you Katie for inspiring me.

AND she was a natural in front of the camera!!  I could have photographed her ALL DAY.

So I know I don’t post a lot of happy, smiley photos on the blog.  I don’t want people thinking that sessions with me aren’t fun or that the people I photograph aren’t happy people.  It’s totally the opposite.  I’m just all about genuine expressions and I feel that the serious look or soft smile is typically more genuine.  And honestly, it was a bit of a branding decision.

But to prove that happiness exists in front of my lens, here’s Cat and her happy self.

Cat is a beautiful soul.  Words cannot express how blessed I feel to have been able to photograph her.  When Cat and her family first came to my studio, I knew right away that the session would be special.  I’ve never felt so embraced as a photographer.  Her family is so warm and welcoming. They even invited me to walk over to see her father’s incredible architecture firm a couple blocks away from my studio.  Cat had an open mind for the session and let me try out a new location.  She put her complete trust in me and, as a photographer, what more could you want?

And, seriously Cat… ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?  Such a beautiful person, inside and out.
