Kate & Brandon | Engaged

Capturing this cute couple was so much fun and I am so excited to be a part of the wedding on August 4th 2012!  

Kate and I met for coffee one day to discuss her wedding and all the details... during our talk I found out she herself was starting her photography business, so pictures were very important to her!  We talked about where she would want to take their engagement pictures as well.  Kate knew what she wanted... it was a grassy field (which I love).  I knew the perfect one right off of courthouse road... it was a huge field full of this golden colored grass and I knew it would be perfect.  I was so excited at how great the pictures from the field came out... although the process wasn't the easiest!!  Unbeknownst to be, this field was full of.... PRICKERS.  I felt so bad for Kate, her legs were all scratched... but she was dedicated and I'm so glad because the result was exactly what she had hoped for! 

Kate is so gorgeous!

After almost 45 minutes of prickers (ouch!), we found another little field nearby... thankfully, yes you guessed it, pricker free!!

This next one reminds me of something out of twilight <3

Then we had some outfit changes...

I love Kate's ring... it's so unique!

Congrats to Kate and Brandon!  I can't wait to capture your special day!

Elizabeth | Senior 2012

I had so much fun working with Elizabeth on her Senior Portraits!  Her older sister, Shannon, contacted me a few weeks before Easter weekend to ask me if I was available to take Elizabeth's senior pictures.  She was visiting from Mississippi and didn't want the same old studio portrait pictures.  I have worked with Shannon before, so I was super excited to hear from her again.  (I have taken pictures for Shannon's daughter 2 years in a row.... going on three this year!!).  Of course I said yes!  Elizabeth wanted a little more urban look to her pictures and I took her to the canal walk.  Shannon and their mom we so funny making sure that Elizabeth was channeling her inner Tyra, and she did just that...

We did a quick outfit change... in the alley hehe (they had a portable dressing room!), then headed down to the canal.

These next bunch are my favorite! Elizabeth is so gorgeous and the lighting was perfection!!

We ended our session at the train tracks.  

Work it girl!

=)

Have fun at your Graduation Elizabeth.  And Congrats!!
