Bethany and Jonnie reached out to me asking about doing some engagements for them as well as some maternity pictures! I don't do engagements often but these guys were a blast and so fun to spend the evening with. We made it out to Green Lake where we had gorgeous wild flowers, 180 degree views of the mountains and surprisingly no bugs! I have seriously heard horror stories about the bugs up there we we only saw one or two.

I always ask families and couples early on in our communication if they have a location that is meaningful to them and Green Lake was special to these guys. I am so glad they introduced me to it because it was beautiful. It was quite a bit colder than we anticipated which I think made it so we were the only ones up there. It can be awkward and uncomfortable to have your picture taken in front of a bunch of other people, and I always try to find a location that gives us more privacy so you can feel like yourself during our session.

Jonnie and Bethany met in a humanities class in college and recently got engaged! And shortly there after also found out that they were expecting so lots of exciting new changes headed their way. I loved their outfits and the darker colors that made them stand out against the greens and yellows in these flowers. These two were so much fun. You can see from these pictures how much they laugh together and look to have fun. We were laughing through this whole session. I always want clients to feel like they can be themselves because that is the kind of pictures you want in return. Also you can see from the second outfit that we incorporated some things that reminded them of their relationship (AKA Nerf guns!!) this was a date they did early on and spent the evening talking for hours. Your session is all about you and not me and keeping up some curated feed or pushing you to do what I want. And it's my goal to be able to bring your relationships to life through photos.
