Stephen+Kate

have you ever met people you just can't help but love? seriously. i mean, i want everyone to meet these two because i DARE you to find something you don't just love about them. we all piled into their car to do their engagement photos, and the first stop was a short pit stop... stephen had given himself a haircut and missed a big chunk. i love it. we headed out to a gorgeous trail that kate picked out and "smelled out a nice view" for ourselves. please, enjoy these two as much as i do:

what. a. beauty. for real??

as always, those beautiful mountains play a major part in photos, i can't help myself.

 

american gothic.

too good not to share from this weekend's plethora of shoots....

anyone who knows me knows that I have a real thing for "american gothic" style photos. these two happily obliged, and with brilliant results! more of their REAL photos coming soon, i just had to get this one out there!

surprisingly, erik and i had some time off together (which NEVER EVER happens) last week, and we made a grand day of it. breakfast at a great cafe, followed by hiking up flagstaff with the pooch.












it's so fabulous... i couldn't wake up and go hike a mountain in the morning in indiana... it's just amazing here; the sky is bluer than anywhere i've ever seen. loving it here, so much.
