I just had to post this one image from today’s engagement shoot with Nicole and Sam. It was sunny up until five minutes before the shoot. Then the 20% chance of rain turned into a downpour that progressed into a thunder and lightning storm. We still shot for about an hour until we were soaked and they were freezing. They were troopers! Not sure if much turned out since I could barely see most of the time, but it was an adventure nonetheless!
A little bit of cuteness….On January 10th I picked-up a stray dog who was starved and frightened. I didn’t want her to get hit by a car and I wanted to have her scanned for a microchip to see if she had a home. Home ended up being with me. Two and a half weeks later she gave birth to seven adorable puppies. They have taken over my life for the past seven weeks and six days. They turn eight weeks old tomorrow. All of the puppies have found lovely homes, including one in mine—Bruno.

On Sunday I got to go to Spartanburg to meet one of my September wedding couples to do their complimentary engagement shoot. Complimentary? Yes, that’s right. All weddings booked during 2012 come with a complimentary engagement shoot! Why? Because I love doing engagement shoots, and I think they are really important. I get to work with the couple for a whole one to two hours and get a chance to see what works for them and what doesn’t, and we have no pressure of family, wedding party and friends standing around making the couple self conscious. We get to look at the photos before the wedding and they can tell me what they like and don’t like, and I can see what works and what doesn’t work. Then the wedding day can be more about them enjoying each other instead of learning how to model. So, this past Sunday I got to work with Whitney and Elliot. They are the first couple I have ever photographed that wanted to go to their office campus for their photo shoot. I thought they were a little crazy, but once I arrived I understood why. The trees! Despite being very windy and downright chilly, we had a really fun shoot. These two were high school and college sweethearts and after six years of love love love, they will tie the knot in September. I can’t wait! Congrats you two!

On Tuesday I got to meet my June 2, 2012 wedding couple—Kelsie and Sam— for the first time. I love doing engagement shoots and I love shooting in new locations, so meeting them in Greenwood was great. I’d driven near there before, but I’d never walked around the little downtown with all of the old brick buildings. We started there and then moved over to the farm where these two young lovebirds will be married in just a few short months. I love the combo of urban and nature. Originally I broke this up into two posts because I currently have seven orphaned four and a half week old puppies in my life who are slowing down my workflow in a major way. But I have now finished enough images from both parts of our shoot and decided combining them into one post made the most sense. Anyway, Kelsie bid on this vintage dress when she was five years old at a mother-daughter auction. She was separated from her mom and thought the auction was a game so she bid on tons of dresses. She said that she and her mom get so much use out of them still. I loved that story! Anyway, congrats to these two cuties. I can’t wait for the wedding.

Do to the fact that I now have seven orphaned four and a half week old puppies in my life I can’t seem to get through these images fast enough to show them all in one post, so I’m breaking it in two two posts just to get some fresh new work up here. It’s been a while. Sorry about that. I’m starting with the second half of the shoot. I guess I’m sort of backwards! Kelsie bid on this dress when she was five years old at a mother-daughter auction. She was separated from her mom and thought the auction was a game so she bid on tons of dresses. She said that she and her mom get so much use out of them still. I loved that story!
