Stacie + Ryan - a Notebook reminiscent engagement session in Fishers, Indiana

You may have seen the viral trend of photographers doing photoshoots with air mattresses on water. I definitely was not the first one to have this idea or bring it to life. But since the first time I saw it on TIk Tok, I knew I wanted to photograph my own take on this trend. I put out a model call to shoot these for myself instead of a paying client. Stacie + Ryan reached out and it worked out perfectly. When we got to the park it looked like it could rain, we even almost canceled before, but we decided to just go for it. When we got there, we had to blow the air mattress up, so we did a couple posed outside of the water before. These two had so much chemistry right off the bat, I couldn’t wait to see them out on the water!

Once the air mattress was inflated, we sent them off on the water together. Maneuvering and posing on this air mattress without falling into the water should have been an Olympic sport. When they finally got situated, it started to sprinkle. We just kept rolling with it. And then it started POURING. Like so hard we could barely see, but we still kept shooting, because we were already wet, why not?! And boy oh boy, this did not disappoint. So check out these steamy images that remind me of The Notebook.
