Lizzy – Trash The Dress

I met Lizzy through my college roommate Ashley. They went to nursing school together and are now nurses! :) I am not sure who mentioned a Trash The Dress session first, but somehow, last fall, Lizzy and I began discussing one. We wanted warmer weather so we met up on June 1st for the session. (Seriously, has it been that long ago?!) I loved this photo shoot. I wasn’t worried about getting the dress dirty, because, well, that was the point. And it was so nice to catch up with Lizzy since she graduated last fall. While editing the photos, I found images that I didn’t even remember taking! It was like a surprise every time I discovered a “forgotten” image. I like when that happens. :) I’m very thankful to Lizzy for being such a willing participate.

Since this is a late night post, I’m just going to show you the images. I love all of them, and I’m tired, so I’m not going to comment like I usually do. (It’s almost midnight!) But, I wanted to post these before bedtime. :) I’ll post more tomorrow on Facebook.

Lizzy, thanks for being awesome! I’m so happy with how these turned out. You’re a great model!

Andrea & James – Hopkinsville Engagement Photographer

In the middle of moving into my new place, I had an “Oh no!” moment. I forgot to post Andrea & James’ engagement session! I was planning on posting their session on Saturday before the moving adventure started. Oh well, I’m posting it now and it’s just as amazing, I promise! :) So, this couple is so super awesome. Some of my favorite quotes of the afternoon are:

“I like our photographer! I’m glad I picked her!” -James

“You got really excited about it!” -Andrea, referring to me hiding in the corn for some corn-framed barn pictures.

“That looks like it should be in a magazine!” -James
“I’ll take that as a compliment!” -Me

This couple is fun, energetic and so wonderful to be around. I discussed the frolicking and laughing of the afternoon in the teaser post that you can find HERE. We met at their house for the photos and I loved the creek, the fields, the old barns, the light, and the couple, of course. Engagement sessions are fun because I get to know a couple before shooting their wedding. They are also good because it lets me experiment with different poses and ideas that I might want to try on the wedding day. :) Revisiting this session just made me even more eager for the September wedding. :)

They have a tire swing in front of their house. We had to use it. Just had to! I love how unpredictable the wind is and how it made this photo even more natural, with a few strands of hair pushed in Andrea’s face. :)

What a nice-looking couple! I’m so lucky to photograph them, yet again, on their wedding day. :)

We trekked down to the creek for a few photos. I really appreciate the look in their eyes in this one.

Outfit change! :)

Yah for lens flare!

A Favorite:

James’ face in this one is priceless!

Corn framed photo time!

See, the light was fantastic!

So was the soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs.

Oh, how I adore this:

Andrea & James, thanks for allowing me to photograph you at your home and your upcoming wedding. I can’t wait! It’s going to be great! :)

M & D – Clarksville Engagement Photography

When M contacted me about a couple’s session, she also told me she loved photography too. How cool?! Whenever a I have clients as enthusiastic about the photos as I am, it makes the session that much better. :) M scheduled the appointment in the time frame she would be in town visiting D, and then the day before our session, D proposed! Yah! So the session went from a “couple’s session” to an “engagement session”! They flirted and grinned at each other in that “just engaged” way the whole session. It was wonderful. :)

M & D, I am so happy for you two! Thank you for allowing me to spend time with you and photograph your love. I wish you the best as you plan your wedding!

They both have the prettiest blue eyes!

I really like how simple this is:

M is so beautiful. This is one of my favorites of her:

A little vintage processing:

Look at the handsome groom-to-be:

I posted a similar photo on Facebook, but here’s my personal favorite:

They are soooo in love! :)

Posting this just made me super happy and I hope looking at these two love birds made you happy too!

See you soon,
