I love engagement sessions. Seeing two people so in love they are committing to spending their lives together is so beautiful. I recently had the honor of meeting Marybeth and Michael, and they are adorable. Most of my sessions involve people I know in my personal life; someone I know from Church, the community, work or at the least we have a mutual friend. I had never met these two until the day of our session other than on Social Media. Marybeth contacted me about an Engagement session, we talked details and locations and a week later we were meeting up at Rock Island State Park. Here are a few photos from our session. It was a beautiful day!

 These two are going to accomplish so much in their lives individually, hearing about their plans with school and careers, so I know that together, they are going to be an amazing force for good in so many ways!

Seeing the way they look at each other... that is one of the best parts of being a photographer and getting to know these couples.

 Congratulations to Marybeth and Michael!!!

Editing Away

So many photos, so little time!

Photography is not a full-time gig for me right now. I love to get out and shoot whenever I can, but I also have a full-time and a part-time job that keep me rather busy. So, unfortunately, editing often has to take a backseat to the "big girl job", as I affectionately refer to it. I do love my job, I work as a nanny for a family with eight children, and yes, you read that right. That sentence has the words 'love'  and 'eight children' in it. Ha! But I love when I have time to sit down and just pour through photos. I love having time to sort through and edit away with little distraction. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, I can easily get lost for hours just going through photo after photo.

Right now, having nights like this are extremely rare, and thus that much sweeter. I have a Senior 2016 session I am wrapping up, a wedding with a couple thousand photos to go through, and an engagement session to go through. Definitely enough work to keep me busy every night for the next month and more! I love being busy because it means I am meeting new clients and/or seeing how former clients have grown and changed. That is the magic of a photo. Preserving a moment in time to reflect upon later.

Capturing life through the lens... Preserving memories for generations to come.

Daniel & Amanda Engagements

Love- a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise, and the lips to pucker.

Congratulations to these two and their upcoming marriage. The Tennessee humidity is not always fun when it comes to photo shoots, but they toughed it out, and we were able to get some adorable shots. Can't wait for the wedding! (Although I'm not sure Dan entirely knows what he is getting into with our family!) :)

Full post coming soon.
