Engagement Session - Hannah & Chris

It's that smile you get when it's quiet and you're not supposed to laugh. The one that isn't just a smile; you know its actually a big, loud, cracking-you-up kind of laugh waiting to boil over into an uncontrollable fit of giggles.

It's the smile I got every time I sat down to work on these photographs.  It's the smile you have when you're in love and it's infectious like the plague.  I might have been a smiling fool behind my computer screen but I don't care one bit.  Hannah and Chris are in love and their laughs and smiles speak volumes of their wonderfully matched personalities. I had such a great time with these two, simply because when you're around them that smile turned fit of laughter is always only a few seconds away.

If you're wondering - I love to travel - and this session took me down to the Raleigh suburb of Cary, North Carolina.  Hannah picked the beautiful Fred G. Bond park and adorable downtown Cary area as the backdrops for the session. We started the session at sunrise and I couldn't have picked a better way to start my day. And I couldn't stop smiling after, either.

Rizza & Daniel Engagement Session

Rizza and I go way back - we are sorority sisters, in the same "jersey family", and even former roommates! So when Rizza approached me about photographing her and her fiancé's engagement session I was thrilled - of course because of the photography, but also just to catch up!  

We planned their shoot at Daniel's family farm property in McCrae, Georgia.  Over the few weeks leading up the shoot, Rizza and Daniel raved about the location and their ideas for the session.  I cannot repeat enough how I was blown away by both! The property was beautiful; it was the perfect fall afternoon to shoot. Serene, colorful, and around every corner was yet another perfect, hidden treasure of a background.  Their ideas (planning a picnic topped off with vintage books, stopping by the pastures, etc) did not disappoint! 

On our way down to McCrae I was lucky enough to hear Rizza and Daniel's oh-so-sweet engagement story.  I enjoyed getting to know Daniel better - he has heart melting southern charm, a chivalrous spirit and most importantly a huge heart for Rizza.  I could go on and on, but I'll let the photos speak for themselves!

Jenny & Kyle (blogged!)

You may have seen a photo or two of this couple floating around the blog. . .Jenny & Kyle, that is.  And "Jenny & Kyle" they have always been to me - since I met them as a pair back in my sophomore year of college! Jenny was my Life-guarding  instructor, and Kyle was also another one of her pupils in the class.  They have always been a fun couple and it was great to reconnect after a few years!

We had a good (hot!) time during their engagement shoot back in June and I am happy to share a few photos from that session on the new blog.  Jenny & Kyle are double Mercer University grads (undergrad + currently in law & med schools, respectively = geniuses) so of course we had to visit campus in addition to some great spots in downtown Macon, Georgia.

"Jenny & Kyle" I feel so privileged to get to capture your wedding day! I know it will be a day so full of love. . .I can't wait!
