Blue Springs Engagement Session

Engagement sessions are probably my favorite kind of session. Maybe that is because I have been lucky enough to have such awesome couples! LOVED this couple. They had lots of ideas of about what kind of props and photos would best capture who they were as a couple and the result turned into LOTS of awesome images that really tell the story of who they are. For those of you who do not know their story...they worked at Disney together, attended Oregan State together (hence the duck whistle thing), and liked vintage style, and music. I think we were able to capture all of those things, plus their love for each other quite well! (They were laughing because I tied the Mickey balloons to my camera bag and we just heard a POP and turned to see that all but one had escaped and headed into a tree). I got entertained while I worked! If it wouldn't have been SO hot out, I would have stalled a little here to enjoy it longer! Shared the color version of this on Facebook, but love the black and white too! Also shared a similar one to this on Facebook, but I like this one too. Looks like he is whispering sweet nothings here right? Not exactly. I would love to take credit for knowing there would be a Mickey at the Soda Shop, but it was pure coincidence!

Country Love...Emporia, KS engagement session

I was up bright and early for this session.  Left the house at 6 a.m. to make the 2 hour drive to Emporia, KS and catch some yummy morning light with these "to-be-weds".  Once there the work was easy though.  There's something to be said for shooting fellow shutterbugs.  Locations were already scouted out (which is good since I knew NOTHING about the Emporia area) and there was even a tall ladder conveniently located in the back of the truck for me to get just the right perspective at said locations.  The farm was AMAZING and offered beautiful backgrounds and props everywhere you looked.  And then of course there was the beautiful couple who are so obviously in love that you can't help but love them too.  All of that made for a dream shoot and I love the results.

Love is in the air!

This is one of my favorite sessions so far. This was my first engagement session and as much as I love taking photos of children, there is something amazing about taking photos of couples at this exciting time in their life. It doesn't hurt that they are slightly more cooperative than your average 3 year old and actually WANT the shots to turn out as amazing as I do. ;) Anyway, I think I have posted photos from this session just about everywhere possible because I was really happy with how they turned out, but I just realized today that they never made it here. Enjoy!
