I am so excited to share this post because it represents a few things! First, I am officially back from my “give myself lots of grace break” while working in the final weeks of Shrek The Musical at school- we still have 2 more shows but much less rehearsal time is giving me life back, and I am grateful for that! Second, spring is so clearly here- and you will see it all over these images! And lastly, this marks the real beginning of wedding and engagement season, and I am so excited for all the beautiful amazing couples of mine that I get to work with the next few months!!
Elaina and Onsi are the absolute sweetest, most laid back couple ever! We all had to reschedule this session a few times throughout the winter, but after seeing these images, I am so glad we ended up waiting- because spring looks so good with them!! There is such an ease about being around them…they are so comfortable together, and make everyone around them just as comfortable, and I absolutely loved my time with them. Meet Elaina and Onsi!
The bench in the next image is where they got engaged…and not to far from where Michael and I got engaged! These two spent the day at the park about a year ago and Elaina was surprised and thrilled by a proposal that day- and it set into motion a fun flurry of planning for a fun and vibrant June wedding! I absolutely cannot wait!
Love this on the right!Elaina, you are so beautiful!!Elaina and Onsi, I hope you love these favorites of mine in the slideshow. You both told me at your session that I made it easy for you and put you at ease- and I just have to tell you it is you who made it easy on ME and put me at ease!!! I adore you two and can’t wait for your wedding!!

You're in the right place! As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business! I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).
