Engagements: Dusty+Anna

Oohhh, it was a chilly one on the afternoon of Dusty and Anna's engagement session.  Fall had officially turned it in for the year and you could feel winter gearing up for its debut.  I was anticipating editing out goose bumps and sniffly red noses, but Dusty and Anna braved the cold like champions.  Plus, cold weather encourages snuggling.  Bonus.  Dusty is my cousin and Anna is his gorgeous fiance.  They're getting married next fall and I'm honored to be shooting their wedding.  I really enjoying photographing family.  Weddings are such a special day to be a part of and having a personal connection makes it even more so.  That, and I have old childhood nicknames in my arsenal that I can bust out if necessary (sinister laugh!).  Just kidding.  I probably won't have to use those.

a la flutter: couples session

I love a session that makes me laugh, and this one had me rolling!  Matthew and Kari are a super fun couple that I met at Matthew's sister's wedding over the summer.  They are married but hadn't had a photographer at their own wedding and felt they were due for some professional photos together.  I couldn't agree more. :)  I think more married couples should do this!

Speks the wonder dog.  He had so much energy, yet sat so well for the camera.  My hero!

  Thanks for a fun and fabulous session, Matthew and Kari!



Towards the end of our session I asked if there was anything else they wanted to try. 
Matthew said, "I have a hat."
