When I started to gather the images for this post, I literally had the hardest time choosing! I mean, just wait until you see all of my couples! They. are. MODELS! I first thought of choosing the “Top 10” but there was no way in heck I was going to be able to narrow it down to ONLY TEN! It was just not possible.

When I get together with couples for their engagement session, for the most part, this is the very first time meeting them face to face! This was not the case with Monica and Mike because they have been in front of my camera once before! Mike’s sister Meagan was one of my sweet June brides this year!

One of the very first things that Becca mentioned when we were chatting about her engagement session was that she asked if her pups could join them. Uhmm, YES please!! I love when couples include their furry little ones in such a big celebratory event like this! Dog mom to dog mom- I get you! They are your family too! Becca and Josh wanted their photos to take place sometime in the fall and boy did we get lucky! They got the very last bit of […]

You always hear that if it rains on your wedding day, it’s good luck, right? Well, what if you experience all 4 seasons on your day? It was sunny, windy, rained on and off and even SNOWED at one point!! I started photographing Mike and his groomsmen outside with the sun glowing behind them with a few sprinkles coming down. We finished up, got them back inside and as I trotted my way to the girls house it started […]
