J + E's maternity session was booked earlier than expected, as it's seeming like their little man might make an early appearance! I was so happy we got such a gorgeous, calm evening at the "pond" since earlier in the day it had been cloudy and drizzly (and a few days later we got snow)! This is such a beautiful location and we got a TON of great shots. Best wishes to the first time parents-to-be, you're in for a crazy, but amazing ride!
It was a beautiful sunny Valentine's Day with a nice blanket of fresh snow (that I made them trek through a bit)! C & A are family and we fit in a quick photo session during their visit before the sun went down. I love how they turned out, perfect light and a gorgeous couple, what more could you ask for!?
We started the engagement session indoors due to the cold temperatures. I was looking around for some unique locations and found a GREAT spot at the new Renaissance Hotel at the airport. The lobby has modern furniture and great light coming in from the large windows, there is a library type sitting area right off the lobby, and the lounge on the way to the skywalk to the airport has some cool neon lighting that changes colors, again with amazing modern furniture. It was perfect as it was very quiet and there wasn't really any other people around!!
A surprise proposal at the Country Lights! It was such a romantic and festive setting. An ornament was hung on one of the trees with the ring in it and C & S came strolling down the lane of decorated trees. I wanted to be discrete so I hung back a bit and stayed behind S so she couldn't see me. C took her toward the tree and she saw the ornament, the rest is history! So happy I could 'steal' a few photos of this amazing moment for them! It was freezing and they weren't really dressed for the outdoors (not knowing she was headed here) so we didn't last too long. I am looking forward to an engagement session with these two soon (with some natural light during a nice warm winter day)! ;)
