David+Makenzie: engagement shoot...

A week ago I got together with Dave and Makenzie to shoot their engagement photos. Makenzie and I were friends when we were little :) and it is always so wonderful to see old friends end up with great people in there lives. Shooting with Makenzie and Dave was so much fun, and so easy. They are so clearly in love and compliment each other so well. They will be getting married in July and I am really looking forward to photographing their big day, so look for more photos of Dave & Makenzie in the future but here are some of my favorites from last week.

Lyndsey & Mike: engagement shoot

On Saturday I met up with Lyndsey & Mike for their engagement shoot. I am shooting their wedding in less than a month from now and I had so much fun with them over the weekend I really can't wait for their big day.

 

           

winter wonderland...

On sunday morning I met up with Kristin & Rian up at Mt. Hood for their engagement shoot. We were hoping for clear skies originally but it was snowing hard the whole time we were there, and I was actually really happy for the snow in the end. It made it so much fun and a new challenge for me to work in too. They say no two snowflakes are the same and this is definitely true for people as well... and that is what I love about what I do. I have done quite a few engagement shoots but every time it is new and different, and this was no exception... and was one of the most fun shoots I have had in a long time. Kristin & Rian are high school sweethearts and it was so clear how comfortable they were with each other and also how very much in love they are. I am shooting their wedding along with my husband in August and this shoot just made me even more excited for their big day!

I was so thankful to get out of the rain for a few hours and into the beautiful snow... with a beautiful couple!!!

 

Gil & Christina's engagement shoot

Yesterday I shot engagement pictures for Christina, my old roommate, and her fiance Gil. It was the first day below 100 degrees so far this week and it was a beautiful night for it. We started at a Dawson Creek Park in Hillsboro...

It was fun to watch them together and see how very much in love they really are. It made my job pretty easy.


We of course had to do a few photos showing off the rock :)...

Then we headed over to the Washington County fair for a few more fun shots. One of their first dates was at the Rose Festival so this took them back to feel of that date. It was fun to focus on them amidst the craziness of the people, games, and rides...
