[FALL SHOOT CATCH-UP PT. 1]

[Engagement: Andrew and Ashley]

Meet Andrew and Ashley. These two... they beam happiness 24/7. No, Im really not exaggerating. Without doubt in my mind, they are the most happy, most silly, most in love couple I've ever had a chance to photograph. Oh. and Andrew happens to be my cousin (and in just a few months, Ashley will be too!). I'm so lucky to have these two as not only close friends, but as family too. Can't wait for the wedding!!

We went to the state fair to get some fun and cute engagement pics. it turned out to be the perfect evening! Here's some of my favorites

[Props]

Although I do love getting pictures of babies and children in a more natural and less posed manner, props can really add so much whimsy and life to pictures! I highly encourage the use of props or just a couple personal details for portrait sessions with young children. Whether that be some cute blankets, bold accessories, a fun toy, baskets, hats, flowers... whatever it is, it always gets the creativity flowing and brings about some really cute pictures. Here's a few I took the other day :)

[Rainy Rainy Day]
