Smitten and Hooked Blog bio picture
  • he was the bag man.

    she was the trigger woman.

    separately, they were a mess.

    together they’re mayhem.

    mayhem on the run, with camera in hand, crossing the country and shooting everything that was beautiful.

    they were made for each other. Her
    infectious spirit and his sultry smolder.
    She was smitten and he was hooked.

    this is their story, from lost and weary to wild, hot, passionate, love.

    or maybe it's yours?
