Mitch and Chelsea [Engagement]

In the midst of packing and preparing for the cross-country trek, I was so happy to have been able to do this sweet couple's engagement session. He's over six feet tall, while she barely makes it past five: the way he wraps her close in his arms is enough to melt your heart into a little puddle on the floor. They started the session out nervous and a little unsure, and by the end of it, they couldn't keep a straight face because they were making each other laugh so much. I count myself blessed that I was able to capture a little of their joy!

Ben and Meghan: Engagement

On a sunny, late September evening, I met up with Ben and Meghan for their engagement session. These two. What a beautiful, beautiful couple! They barely needed any prompting from me ... they were so very happy to be with one another that it naturally showed. My favorite part of the evening? Watching Meghan's face light up every time she looked at Ben!

Congratulations Ben and Meghan! Thank you for allowing me to capture this moment in your lives, and I pray that the Lord continues to bless you abundantly as you prepare for marriage!

Seth and Victoria: Engagement

This couple. What an absolute treasure! The way that Seth looks at Victoria with absolute wonder is enough to make your heart melt while it is very evident that Victoria cherishes her beloved. Despite being the coldest day that November had seen up till that point, these two kept one another laughing the entire entire evening. We walked along the Mississippi River in St. Paul, and then finished our session at the library where Victoria had spent much of her time doing her master's program.

Victoria and Seth: I cannot wait to see where your life together takes you. I know the Lord has much in store for your beautiful hearts!

Joshua and Cara: Engagement

This sweet couple took me to the place where Josh had proposed only a few short weeks earlier! We walked about the beautiful St. Kate's campus in St. Paul, recreated their picnic and included the philosophy book in which Josh had carved out a small place to hold the ring! It was the perfect soft, late summer evening to shoot their photos.

Thank you Cara and Josh for capturing these sweet moments of your life together! You are so stunning, and good, together!
