Derek and Laurel~Engagement Session

Hello my dearies!

 

This is Laurel, and her handsome-at the time-fiancee, Derek, who is now her hubby!  They are so adorable together!  And then, just when I thought they couldn't get any cuter.....they started singing together!  Talk about AWWW!   So, he brought out his guitar, and then we go over to this little grassy spot, he's all being shy so far, not used to having a camera in his face I guess, ;)  and so Derek starts playing, and singing, and Laurel joins in on this beautiful harmony.  I'm clicking away, and then I pause, and realize what I am capturing.  I sit back after I figure I have got enough pics, and just listen.  Quiet all around us.  No one to be seen.  It was like I wasn't even there, I felt like a little kid, peeking into this special moment.  My goodness, they sounded so good!  I think they should make a cd, I really do.  Their voices blended so perfectly. 

A beautiful couple, that the Lord brought together though His special and mysterious ways.  Such a blessing to witness. 

Below is a slideshow of all their pictures.  I am trying out this slideshow site, to see if I like how it comes out, time will tell if they make the final cut in my opinion....when it comes to photography, I can be a bit picky, trying to find something that goes with what I have envisioned in my head....  :-D

Laurel~Lifestyle Session

This beautiful gal is Laurel.  She is one of the kindest people I know.  And so gorgeous!!  She was just engaged at the time, and now she is a married women!  This shoot was a surprise for her fiancee, he wanted pictures of her.  So sweet! 

I had such a wonderful time taking pictures of her!  We had so many laughs.  She was great, posing for me in the middle of a downtown area, with lots of people around! Even when my ideas were sitting on a cement block, in the middle of a sidewalk, right in front of a outdoor restaurant.  I'm sure we were quite a sight!  Twas so much fun.

Then there was this one location I found, at an old building, next to a silo.  I drive by every week going to teach, and I always wanted to take pictures there.  So, off we went!  I hadn't noticed that it had gotten a bit overgrown....well, more then a bit.  The grass was almost as tall as me!  Did that deter us?!  Of course not!  Onward we plunged into the vast unknown!  It was a hoot.  Nobody was around, we were sure we heard someone sneaking up on us, there were scary noises coming from this building hidden in some trees.  Lots and lots of mosquitoes!  Fabulously erie and beautiful. 

We laughed the whole time! 

Thanks Laurel for a loverly afternoon.  <3
