Mavis + Pierce

August 2014

Sometimes there are people who you come to feel comfortable with and appreciate over the course of a long friendship. And sometimes there are people who you say hi to, maybe crack one weird joke with, and immediately realize that they are just flat out awesome. This second way is how it went when I took Mavis and Pierce’s engagement photos. Just after spending a couple hours with them, I could tell that they really admire and depend on each other. And not only is their relationship with each other awesome, but together they have a way of accepting and encouraging those around them. I had such a blast with them doing their photos and am sure our future encounters will be just as fun!

Shanley

August 2014

This summer has been such a whirlwind! We’re in the middle of new jobs, anticipating grad-school for Eric, moving into our apartment, weddings, birthdays, vacation… all the most wonderful things a summer can offer! It’s quite a beautiful crazy stage.

My evening with Shanley was an adventurous one! We hopped in my Honda Accord and drove in circles through the countryside at golden hour- and I have to say, we hit the jackpot! It was the perfect way to do this girl’s photos. I’ve watched her grow up like a little sister to me, and love how adventurous and expressive her beautiful spirit is. Shanley’s one of a kind and I can’s wait to see her go make her mark on the world.

Abby + Cam

Abby and Cam are getting married!! When I met Abby at North Park, she and Cam had just transitioned from long-time bffs to dating, so I heard a lot from Abby about the boyfriend going to college in Michigan. It has been so fun to see them fall more in love and I am so excited to celebrate their marriage next year! These two are sweet as sugar and are pros at the cutest goofy faces possible, so our beach photo shoot was a breeze.
