E-Session: Rob & Kellie *sneak peek*

What I love about guys (or rather grooms) like Rob is when they can't stop staring at their bride-to-be. Rob couldn't take his eyes off of Kellie during their engagement session. Some might say he's "whipped." I like to think that he's just head over heels, smitten as he should be. And who can blame him? Kellie is sweet and gorgeous! I first met Kellie when she was a newborn baby. Our families lived in the same neighborhood for a time and I was great friends with Kellie's big sister. It was a fun surprise and total honor when Rob and Kellie asked me to photograph their wedding later this summer. They're a fantastic couple and I'm looking forward to their big day. It's going to be amazing!

As for their engagement pictures, they wanted a low-key, natural environment that best reflected their laid-back personalities. Unfortunately, we were at the mercy of mischievous Mother Nature during Rob & Kellie's engagement portrait session last week, at Veteran's Park. Luckily, Mother Nature did little more than spit out a few rain drops and rattle a bit of thunder. Whew! 

This one reminds me of the Princess Bride...

 

The See Family *Sneak Peek*

Photographer + Beach = Bliss

The super annoying thing about Idaho is that we Idahoans are hopelessly landlocked. I imagine that this issue is of little to no consequence for mountain dwellers and such, but for when you've got a little salt and sand coursing through your veins, you crave the beach. The Oregon Coast is a favorite coastline and trek our family makes every year. This year's ocean vacay was made extra sweet as I was given the opportunity to shoot my first beach session and for some of our favorite people! The location was a real gem; a rocky beach on the outskirts of Depoe Bay.
As for the family pictured below... they're literally family. So...family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
