It's been awhile since I've photographed an engagement session- or at least it feels like it. These two flew back from Colorado to spend a Saturday with me and I'm so grateful for that. Their love is easy and I definitely felt it while with them. Congrats you two :)
Tessa's one of those girls that just glow. She is a one of the kindest people I've ever met and sharing a house with her this past year was so much fun. We put together a fun shoot last month with one of her old pageant dresses and had a blast. Think forest nymph ;)
I've had the privilege of living with Desi for the past year and a half-- it has been such a blessing to call her a friend. She's been there for me through a ton and I know that the Lord is gonna use her in big ways. From the skype dates from I was in Italy and she was in Guatemala, the crazy dances to Skrillex's Cinema, our (mostly her's) obsession with bacon and BLTs, decorating an apartment together and then moving up to a house, I'm gonna miss calling her a roommate.
About a month ago, I hopped in a car with two of my best girl friends and we had a mini vacation down in a little town called Gearhart on the Oregon Coast. The weather was absolute perfection and everything was too good to be true. We rode bikes into town, ate our pastries and sipped on iced coffee, we walked on the beach in shorts and laughter, caught a beautiful sunset... we watched old movies like An Affair to Remember and French Kiss... drank real expensive champagne and did a wine tasting, took baths and read The Great Gatsby. You guys, I'm not exaggerating any of this- it was a dream and I can't wait to go back.
