After I met with Kathy and Justin for the first time, I felt like they were friends. I love when client meetings go that way. I invest so much into my business and my clients because I really do care about the people I work with. I really, really enjoy getting to know couples over the course of their engagement and keep up with them after their wedding. It's the absolute best part of my job. So, hanging out with Kathy and Justin and their two adorable dogs for an evening was a good time in my book! Enjoy some of my favorites from their Bay Village engagement session.
Liz and Hayden made my job super easy during their engagement session. They laughed the whole time ... and I just clicked around. :) These two are getting married in Hawaii later this year and wanted to document their short engagement season with some casual pictures. I had so much fun walking around Holden Arboretum (I hadn't been there before; the place is seriously gorgeous!), learning about the different flowers and plants from Hayden, who is a landscaper, and petting their pup. Enjoy some of my favorites from Liz and Hayden's session!
It's that time of year again! Warmer weather, more sunshine than usual and weddings every weekend. :) I'm about a third of the way into my season, and so far it's been fantastic. I can definitely feel the crunch though. There are late nights, lunches at my desk and hesitations when people ask me to do things. My aunt called recently and asked me to come over for lunch. My first inclination was to say I was too busy, but then I realized how ridiculous that was. When I get busy, I tend to lose sight of what's really important, and what's really important is not working seven days a week without a break. So today I'm looking forward to a lunch away from my desk, in front of people who are important and who I want to make time to see. That's the best part of this job; I get to manage my own schedule!
So, in lieu of my planned blog post for today, I'm going a little bit easier on the workload and sharing a couple peeks from recent portrait sessions. Thank you, thank you, thank you to my patient clients! :)
I know I sound like a broken record, but my clients are really the best. I met Katie and Kyle on a reallllly cold, snowy, Cleveland day and they rocked the outdoor photos. Just take a look at that photo above. Oh em gee!
These two are adorable (obviously). Would you believe they almost didn't meet?? Both are grad students at Case Western (read: really smart!) and attended a Mardi Gras event sponsored by the school. When Katie's class ran late, she almost missed the event. She ended up not only making it but sitting next to this intriguing person she hoped she would see again. :)
"From our first conversation I knew that he was smart and funny, but I soon learned that he was also serious about faith, devoted to his family, and had many of the same priorities as me," Katie remembered. "It seemed like every time we hung out, I learned something new that I loved about him."
Katie and Kyle will tie the knot in just a few weeks, and I know it will be a fantastic celebration. I'm so looking forward to working with these two next month!
We started on the steps of Severance Hall in University Circle. They had their first date inside that building!
Katie, you are so gorgeous! The lovely Lindsay London will be doing Katie's makeup on her wedding day and Katie decided to do her trial run for the engagement photos. Smart girl!
So cute ...
Those lashes! So pretty, Katie.
These ones in front of the art museum are my favorites! You two are naturals. :)
