This engagement session did not go as planned. Let's just say, some poor planning (and thinking) on Mackenzie & I's side of things made it quite the adventure. The best part is...it didn't matter. We had a blast & made our "whoops" moment into a fabulous one! I love it when things don't go as planned. Cause this happens...
So lovely. All of it...lovely.
I don't photograph that many seniors this time of year...but am definitely not complaining. I wish seniors graduated all year long...because I love taking their photos :). This session was no exception.
I don't think I have EVER prayed this much about weather. Allie wanted snow. Problem was...Spokane seemed to be out of snow & just wanted to rain. The whole week, nothing but rain. So I prayed. I prayed there would be so much snow that it would make the city white again & it would last until pictures ended. Oh boy did God deliver. A winter wonderland DOWNPOUR. Allie & I relished in the cold & wet because we knew it was a miracle. Chris...well...Chris was distracted by his beautiful bride. At least enough to forget that we were torturing him in the weather.
LOVED THIS WEDDING.
YES was the word I found myself thinking, saying & feeling through every stage of these two lovebird's relationship. YES...I felt when my cousin Andrew called to tell me about a special new girl in his life. YES...to the question, "would you be willing to hide & take pics as I ask Alisa to marry me"? YES...to photographing their engagement & upcoming wedding. YES...I've prayed for the perfect girl for him for years. I'm just so dang excited. YES!
Well stink...so many amazing engagement shoots this week! Plus, the snow "dressed to impress" for us. I cannot wait until these two get married in April. Such an honor to be a part of it! Who knew little 'ol Johnny would find such an amazing bride...boy am I excited for them.
A cold afternoon shoot with an adorable young lady.
My job is ridiculously awesome.
I have a beautiful family. It's unfair really. This dear cousin of mine Dani is just one of many beautiful family members of mine. These two are adorable together. I have only just begun to witness their love & can't wait to capture it on their wedding day. Congrats you two...July can't come soon enough!
I've known & been friends with this gal for over 20 years. As kids we would make up dances in her basement, dress up dolls & do stupid stuff with our brothers on their family farm. So many memories made. To see her engaged & with a man who loves her well is so amazing.
We started out this session at Vessel Coffee Roasters & then braved the downpour of snow outside. It was a blast!
I don't typically shoot maternity. But! This setting + this beautiful couple = me re-thinking my every thought
When Jan wrote me an email with their story & explained why I should photograph them even though "I don't do maternity"... I conceded. I'm simply drooling over these beautiful images & am so thankful she gave me the nudge this time around.
