That\u2019s when we booked our session and made the commitment to travel across the state for this experience. At the time, I had not decided to propose yet.

Ever since having my son four years ago, I have struggled with body image and most of the time I\u2019m the one hiding behind the camera, so stepping out of my comfort zone took a lot of courage\u201d, she explained. \u201cOn top of that, being the photography nerd that I am, I was SOOO nervous to meet Mike in person! I follow the work of many talented photographers for inspiration just to admire their artistic abilities. I\u2019ve always been extremely drawn to the beautiful images Mike creates and he quickly became one of my absolute favorite photographers. Meeting my favorite photographer in person felt like getting to meet your favorite actor or rock star. I was totally starstruck and awkward at first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_1429-12_0x18_0-19-A-Q01-1800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_1429-12_0x18_0-19-A-Q01-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_1429-12_0x18_0-19-A-Q01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_1429-12_0x18_0-19-A-Q01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_1429-12_0x18_0-19-A-Q01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_1429-12_0x18_0-19-A-Q01-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_1429-12_0x18_0-19-A-Q01.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite their initial nerves, Megan and Jake had a blast at their session, which was filled with giggles and silliness to go with their vibrant sensuality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_9926-12_0x18_0-22-A-Q01-1800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_9926-12_0x18_0-22-A-Q01-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_9926-12_0x18_0-22-A-Q01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_9926-12_0x18_0-22-A-Q01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_9926-12_0x18_0-22-A-Q01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_9926-12_0x18_0-22-A-Q01-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_9926-12_0x18_0-22-A-Q01.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They started out with comfy\/casual outfits that they could slip layers off of, then moved to a more polished look where Jake wore his best suit and Megan wore some sexy lingerie.
