Kalli and Jacob -- {Engaged}

Sunday morning I met up with Kalli and Jacob in Lawrence for their engagement shoot. We strolled up and down Mass finding cool little nooks and crannies and getting to know each other. Because they wanted to include their dog Cleveland in the photos, Jacob's brother Luke came along out of the goodness of his heart (and the bribe of free lunch) to "dog handle". Their little puppy is so adorable! He was so lively and curious and anxious to play with dogs 3 times his size!

Beth and Eddie -- {Engaged}

I met Beth and Eddie a couple of months back when they came in for our initial meeting and brought along Beth's mom. I instantly got along with them and couldn't wait to get started working with them. Their wedding is early next summer, but we got their engagement session in before the winter hit.

I think we got incredibly lucky that we got the session done when we did because I think if we had waiting just one more week there wouldn't have been any fall color left! As it was we had to wait "in line" in front of the only trees with any leaves left on them at Loose Park.

After leaving the park, we headed down to the restaurant where they first met, and even though they were closed, we got a couple of shots outside!

Jonny, Athena and the kids

Jonny is an old friend of David and I's. David went to High School with him and I met him in college. Back in the days we were making short films, Jonny was our "go-to" guys always with a staring roll! Now, 15 years and nearly 6 children between us we finally got to shoot his family's photos!

Athena is such a wonderful person and such a great Mommy - these kids were awesome to work with! I was so happy to spend a little time with them this weekend - we always love getting together with them!

Katy and Ryan {Engaged}

I headed downtown this past weekend to meet up with Katy and Ryan. These two had been referred to us by one of our very favorite couples - Bre and Tim (the twin's Mommy and Daddy) Katy and Ryan live near Power and Light and so we headed that direction for their photos. I had such a great time, I've never shot there before. They are such a sweet couple and I loved spending a couple of hours with them, getting to know more about hem and their upcoming wedding!

Jayanne and Randy {Engaged}

David was at the Nelson with Jayanne and Randy this past weekend for their engagement shoot and had a great time shooting with them and what was remaining of the fall colors. Engagement shoots are such a great way to get to know a couple and David went on and on about what a great couple they are and how fun it was to work with them.

Jenny + Scott {Engaged}

Jenny and Scott were the very first couple to book with us for 2010 way back in early 2009 so it was nice to finally get to work with them this past weekend. We shot mostly in Lawrence on KU's campus and devised a fun little game for all of their friends and family to play while looking at their engagement photos. I'm not going to spoil the game for them, but it certainly gave the shoot a little something extra.

"My" Twins

Ok, so they're not really mine but this is the first time anyone I've known has had twins and I'm claiming them as my own. They are absolutely the cutest! Usually two week old babies sleep the entire session, but these two were awake and alert and wiggling around! I loved "getting to know" them and seeing how different they are. It's so amazing that these little people who've been out in the world for less than a month already have such distinct personalities!

We have quite a history with Wyatt and Avery's mommy and daddy. Bre and Tim started as an engaged couple with us, then their wedding. A couple of weeks ago we worked together on "Waiting for Baby" photos and for those of you who know us, you know that Bre is the graphic designer we work with for custom designed products such as announcements, holiday cards and custom wedding details.

David and I love Bre and Tim so much and are so happy for them and their new additions!
