abby & andrew | the question

These two. Seriously. These two brightened my week during their session and then again when I was editing it! These two, Abby & Andrew, are perfect. They know how to hold eachother, Andrew knows the perfect time to kiss Abby (whether its an endearing kiss on the forehead, a sweet peck on the cheek or an eat your face with my beard kiss on the lips – you’ll see what I mean later). They are amazing together. I had the HONOR of taking their engagement pictures and am ecstatic to be witness to their amazing wedding coming up at the beginning of June.

I honestly can’t express the joy this session brought me. I don’t want to talk about it too much…because you will see it in the pictures. However, I will let you know a little bit about the day. They wanted it to be like a date. Literally. Me tag along while they did things they normally do. Check…I’m yours! So we started off at Coffee & Chocolate downtown and then did a little people watching at Krutch Park. 😀

 See what I mean about it being a date and me just taking pictures?!? Gah! I love it!

 A little bit of people watching…mixed in with some explanation of the Picard Maneuver

 We then decided to duck into Union Books for some fun!

And ended this amazing session down at World’s Fair Park with a little game of catch and getting our toes wet. Love these!!!

 This is totally what I mean about Andrew’s beard eating Abby’s face. Lol! I cracked up!

Abby & Andrew…You know how much I loved you two and your session! June 9th can’t get here fast enough! Its going to be crazy awesome! 😀

the day after | lindsay & duane

Maybe its been the gloomy weather we’ve had this winter, maybe its because I haven’t gotten out to shoot in a while, or maybe its just the simple fact that Lindsay & Duane were completely smitten, in love, and just flat out adorable with each other that makes me LOVE this session!!! I received an email from Lindsay that just absolutely BROKE my heart! She and Duane were married just this past December, but through some bad situations they have just a handful of wedding images! A HANDFUL! Can you believe that?!?! My heart broke. I was sick to my stomach! I knew in that instant that I would do anything I could to make this session awesome! Snow? Thats magical! Frigid temperature? Cause for more snuggling! Semi gloomy day? Well, thats called perfect light! 😉 Lindsay and Duane were amazing! I seriously don’t think I could have asked for a better couple to jump start my 2013 season!!! 

I loved that we started off the session where they first met…Oodles, downtown. 😀

Are they not adorable???

Whooa! Love love this one! 

Lindsay & Duane! I know I’ve told you probably 100 times how much fun I had…but its so sincere! You two were just perfect!

Smiles,

Market Square and Marble Slab

I am so incredibly excited to share this post with all of you! Meet Megan, Josh, Ryder and Rico! They are one adorable little family that is about to make it official on April 9th and they have asked me to document their big day!! I am beyond thrilled that they are my first wedding! I don’t think I could have gotten any luckier! So Megan and Josh really wanted to head down to Krutch Park and Market Square b/c this is where they had their first date. They spent hours just walking around Market Square and talking and before they knew it, shops were closing up and the square was empty. I love those stories; when you get completely lost in conversation and it feels like you have been talking for 10 minutes, not 5 hours! So off we went to Krutch Park. It was a Friday evening so the place was busy, which gave us such a great vibe. Ryder and Rico stole the show for the first little bit and I had so much fun playing and taking pictures of them!

I love this picture of Josh. He was looking at Megan so sweetly, but with that little grin. They made each other crack up all afternoon.

We bustled around the ponds for a little while with the pups and then I thought of the idea of some ice cream…which oh so happens to be something that Megan and Josh did on their first date! I was beyond thrilled!

We had so much fun in that little creamery…maybe too much.

But nothing a little kissy kissy couldn’t make up for!

Megan and Josh had told me that they were really wanting some fun and funky pictures…nothing boring for these two; they had mentioned some ideas about graffiti before so I knew exactly where I wanted to take them! We had a blast back here in the alleys…pigeons and all.

I cannot express how much fun I had with you Megan and Josh (plus your pupsters)!! I can’t wait…less than one week and I will see you guys again! 🙂

Megan and Josh SneakPeak

So I am sitting here on this frigid nasty Monday evening going through and editing some uber fun shots from my first engagement shoot!! Its seriously bitter sweet; the weather was phenomenal (a little bit sunny, but I’ll take it) and it was so nice and warm…and it was just last week!! Craziness! Now its in the 40’s and I am sitting here in my sweats with my snow socks on! Anywhoo, I was having so much fun editing these shots that I just had to share a couple of my favorites! Even though this was an engagement shoot, I couldn’t get enough of these pups!! They are so stinking cute and they were all about the camera…and the water. Here is a quick peak at what is in store for later this week!!
