Engaged - Lauren and Vivek

Lauren and Vivek have been together for quite a while (their relationship began in high school), and it only takes a short time around them to see that they just "fit" together.  Observing them together I got a feeling of mutual caring, admiration and respect.  Besides all that, they're just the cutest couple!
I've known Lauren since she was...well, she was a kid...so it warms my heart to see that she's found her soulmate in Vivek.
Lauren and Vivek, thanks so much for choosing me to take your engagement photos.  It was an honor and I had a great time spending the day with you!

 Lauren you are the most adorable girl in this dress.  Well, in anything, but especially in this dress.

Lindsey and Zack - engaged!

Besides their love for each other, Lindsey and Zack share a love for the outdoors, especially the hills of Brown County where they'll be getting married in October. 

It feels a little weird to be writing a blog post about my own daughter's engagement.  And I'm not sure I've really wrapped my head around the idea that she's actually getting married in a few short months.  But this is not about me, so...

I followed Lindsey and Zack around one of their favorite places to hike and hang out, documenting how they feel about just being together.  Here are some of my favorites.

 

Snow angels

At this point in the season, I'm hoping we've seen the last of the snow, especially since Spring will officially be here in 8 days!!  (Mother Nature, you'd better get with the program).  The snow did, however, make for some pretty scenery on this day when Lindsey and I took Jorga out to romp in it. My girls...they're so cute.

Camery, Blake and baby Brantley

Expecting...it has a ring of excitement to it doesn't it? So many changes are ahead. Camery and Blake, I'm excited for you guys and for baby Brantley! And Camery, you couldn't be any more adorable.

The Wind Farm

Prehistoric insect?  Space communication device?  I can't decide what the windmills look like, but each day as I pass this wind farm, I have to remind myself to keep my eyes on the road because they just kinda mesmerize me.  Of course, not every evening boasts a sunset like this, which could be mesmerizing in itself.  I've been carrying my camera to work for several days now, hoping to catch the perfect time to photograph the windmills...one evening last week was it!

Over the river and through the woods

We spent part of our family Christmas day tromping through my grandparents' woods.  It was so peaceful and beautiful.  Well, I'll let the photos do the talking...
