{in love} Kristin + Aaron

We did Kristin and Aaron's engagement shoot on Sunday! They are such a cute couple, can you believe Aaron drives all the way down to Iowa for work? I wouldn't be able to do that, so we did some quick shots around downtown since Aaron was leaving after the shoot. I know I asked them to do some crazy things like play peek a boo with the lamp post between them, we had a blast, well at least I had a blast!! I love Kristin's smile, isn't she gorgeous? and Aaron, too, we can't forget about him, they were a blast to shoot, so laid back, I wish all our shoots were like this!! So here's a preview of our day:

{fearless bridal} amanda @ devil's lake

I have been wanting to do a fearless bridal shoot for some time now, but it's very hard to convince a bride to put her dress back on and do some of the crazy things we suggest. Well, we found a willing model in Rob's little sister, Amanda. We picked up the dress at Vinny's for super cheap and told her to meet us at seven a.m., perfect lighting that morning I might add, it was like buttery goodness raining down on us, so we drove up to a little meadow and told Amanda to start trecking out. She wore her cowboy boots and brought a couple of hats, we grabbed a few more props and starting shooting.

We had the most perfect light that morning. It was gorgeous and our model, we couldn't ask for more. After the meadow, we drove out to Devil's Lake, and started down North Shore, stopping at the beach for a few shots and then followed the trail to rock 9 where Amanda jumped into the water! Can you believe it?! I know, I know this is just a teaser and I don't have any of those shots, yet, but they will be coming shortly, I just wanted to get these up while I had a spare moment.

Enjoy the teaser's of Amanda's faux fearless bridal.




If there are any brides that want to participate in a fearless bridal session, please let us know! We'd love to take you out!!

Sawyer's Four Year Old Pictures

You may remember this little guy from last year! On Sunday we went out to Ochsner's Park and took Sawyer's four year old pictures. We got a couple shots of him and his cousins! We got a bunch of great shots, and this year was much warmer than last year!

Sawyer loved the tire swing and we got some great shots of him on that, along with some of the rest of the toys down at the park. He hated his bare feet touching the sand, and I don't blame him, that sand is rough! I didn't even like walking around on it. The girls were such fun, too. They had Sawyer show me his "funny face" which only he and his aunt Missy can do, it was such a riot taking his photos this year. I even got a couple of him and his mommy.

Sawyer and the girls.
Here's his cute funny face.
He was telling me that Michael is his friend.
Sawyer and mommy, I love this one!
