They met a long time ago, when she was just in high school. Holding jobs at the same local store, she got to know him in a casual way. He was creative, and funny, and he made her laugh. She was still in high school and even though he had begun college, she knew that she wanted him to take her to her senior prom. He was interested- but couldn’t go with her to due external circumstances, and they lost touch. Years later, they ran into each other and it was like no time had passed. John and Laura were finally together, and would never be apart again. But what about that prom? In one of the sweetest proposal stories I have ever heard, John recreated the important parts of her senior prom, the one he never got to take her to, for her to ask her to be his best friend and wife for the rest of their lives.
These two are so sweet together. Laura is beautiful and just exudes kindness and vibrancy. And the way John looks at her…he just cannot get enough of her. And I cannot get enough of that! 🙂 I am so excited to be sharing their engagement session today! We spend a beautiful evening together a couple weeks ago and I am just so excited for their winery wedding next year!! Meet Laura and John:
This is the spot where that recreated prom happened… This light!! I love it! Favorite! This light! These two dressed so perfectly for this event- these were 2 of my favorite outfits ever! Those shoes! I just LOVE these- this light, and the fun urban setting…some of my favorites of the season! Gorgeous you two! Can I just say hair envy?! I adored spending time with you guys and hope you love these favorites!

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!).
I'm so glad you are here! Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business! I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
