On your mark... get set... GO!!

This post marks our first engagement shoot of 2010 and I'm pretty sure we won't be taking a breath until at least Christmas! So hang on to your keyboards (lol) and keep checking back because we'll be posting lots & lots from here on out! 

With out further adieu, meet Lisa + Nathan. They are a fantastic couple we met a couple of months ago and if we hadn't known they would be totally awesome and energetic, we might have postponed their engagement shoot due to freeeezzzzing temps that day. Lisa totally rocked it out in a short sleeve shirt and I'm pretty sure she deserves an Academy Award for her performance as a not-freezing bride to be. This is just a good ol' fashioned engagement shoot, nothing fancy or trendy, just a happy fun couple being themselves, totally in love! Enjoy!

All right, I'll start out with something sweet. But trust me, there's a lot of spunk & fun energy between these two!

So are you guys ready for some warm weather or what!?! This weather is ridiculous! Bring on the sun!! Anyways, enough complaining, we'll have plenty of sunshine and photo shoots soon!!

Here are some random Thursday thoughts: 
 - We've been working hard on albums all winter and are so excited to see them in person!! We're also ordering several new sample albums so that's pretty exciting too :) 
 - We have an intern! Her name is Hanna and she's super sweet! We're sooooo lucky to have her! 
- I've got a really exciting secret experimental photoshoot this weekend and that's all I'm going to say on the blog. Ladies, I'll tell ya all about it in person!!
- We did our first engagement shoot of 2010 yesterday in the cold. Lisa & Nathan were total troopers. They were so cute & energetic we had no problems making fun pictures despite the freezing temps. 
- I have a new obsession, it's Jazzercise. Yep... it's awesome. 
- Dan and I are getting really excited about all of the engagement shoots we have lined up for March & April. If you are one of these people we would love, love, love for you to be thinking of cute fun ideas that match your style as a couple, so we can talk about it and get you the cutest pics ever. Here are some places to get ideas: Green Wedding Shoes, Style me Pretty, Once Wed to name a few. Type in engagements or select engagements under categories.
- This year I would like to do engagement shoots in the following locations: a sunflower field, at a fair, at a farmer's market, something with big, gigantic balloons, something with a canoe... and that's just off the top of my head. Let's do some different, fun things this year! 

Sooooo excited about 2010!!!!!


Last weekend we went to Mooresville, NC to an engagement party for our friends Michelle & Christopher. Michelle is part of my NC friend group that I'm always talking about. If you're a regular reader of our blog you've probably seen photo shoots with most of my girls :) 

Here's Erin, me, Lindsey, Jenna, Michelle, Tyler, & Ashley. Emily missed the pic :(

It was a Mardi Gras themed party :) and I was super excited because this is the first dress up event I've been to with these girls in forever and not also been a vendor!

Hello Friends! 

Since it's winter, which is our slower time, I thought I'd post a few pics from our life. All of the pics in this post are from our farm, where Dan and I live. They were all taken in two days --- one early afternoon and one late afternoon. The horses are my familys and our next door neighbor. The two dogs are my sisters, their names are Max & Bernie. She brings them out to the farm to run around. Her dog Max is crazy and really needs it... It'll be pretty obvious which one is Max :). Two barn cats are Khaki and Stumpy. I'm in love with Khaki. My mom is going to love this post and say, "I'm going to need a copy of all of those..." That's just my prediction.

Notes: Everything in this set was done with a couple new tools we've gotten this winter. We used the Lens Baby and processed only with TRA's new Lightroom presets.

Enjoy!

A few more with the Instax --- so fun! Pony on the left is my favorite and Gracie on the right is Dan's favorite horse.

And lastly, I took this one last fall, a Christmas present for my mom.
