As I shared with you in the Fall… I ventured into the world of engagement photography and fell in love with the opportunity to capture “love” in a new way.  Not only is it a fun change of pace for me (and as close to wedding photography as I want to get right now! ha!), but it’s also a pretty cool honor.

And it is that much MORE of an honor when you know the  people that you’re photographing.  I worked together with these two back in my sports days… and while all three of us have moved on to new ventures… it’s neat to still stay connected, and even neater for me to see them taking this next step in their lives together.

Any time I go into an engagement session with people I know – my biggest concern is their comfort level (considering I’m going to ask them to be romantic in front of me!!! ha)  What I loved about these two is that they didn’t care WHO was around or WHO was behind the camera…  they are so relaxed, themselves, and so cute together.  Fun to watch it unfold through my camera.

I have to post this one.  As I’m snapping, I’m seeing Zach give me his straight-up GQ pose…

Ha! Good times, guys! Kind of fun how things come full circle, right?  Thank you SO SO much for letting me be a small part of this journey (a “slam dunk moment” for me! ha. Sorry, I had to) … I truly wish you guys all of the love and happiness that you both deserve. 🙂  Enjoy every second of all that’s to come. Until next time…
