I had the best time spending a perfect fall evening with Taryn & Austin! When Taryn called me and told me that she had an idea to incorporate a vintage car that was in their family, into the shoot….I said YES PLEASE! We already had a great plan of shooting in the evening, at a great barn…so to add a great vintage car was such a bonus! Special thanks to Jerry for being soo great and driving your beautiful vintage, restored Ford up from the south side!! It was a treat getting to see this car because my own Dad (a hot rod/vintage car buff) has talked about and loved this exact Ford (well, ’33 he says…and this is a ’28..or was it ’29, Jerry?) my whole life and talked about restoring one! Jerry, you did a tremendous job restoring that gorgeous car and I really appreciate you letting us incorporate it into our shoot! Now to the lovely Taryn & Austin! Just one look at them and you will see why I was smitten! They are both beautiful people…and when I got to know them and saw their love for one another….I grew to like them even more!! We had such a great, relaxed shoot…just talking, laughing and enjoying our time! Thanks soo much Jerry, Taryn & Austin for all that you did to make this shoot soo great and soo fun!! Can’t wait for the wedding!!

From the first 5 minutes of meeting Rachel and Sam many months ago, I KNEW that I was going to LOVE them! We just clicked….it was effortless. They are just soo cool, it’s easy to adore them. And soo chill. And soo nice. And soo fun. Most importantly, they have IT. Just that certain something, that way of connecting, that certain magic about them. You will see it, they can’t HIDE it. And it’s a good thing because I LOVE capturing that kind of magic. Photographing them is like a walk in the park on a crisp fall day….easy, refreshing and good for the soul. We had an absolute blast on the lovely Friday evening that we shared. They were wise to start out their engagement shoot with a nice glass of wine, all shoots (well, not kids shoots! hehe!) should start with a glass of wine! And from there, we just spent hours hanging out, talking, laughing and having SOO much fun! We were even serenaded by an entire high school band during our shoot! NO kidding. Ok, maybe they weren’t there for JUST us, but nothing gives an engagement session some awesome energy like an full band busting out the tunes(current hits too! rhianna! usher! who knew!?)!! Rachel & Sam….I sooo enjoyed your company and can’t tell you how much I appreciate you truly embracing this shoot and your time together. Don’t ever loose that magic…. Can’t wait to capture it again in April!!
