Erin & Billy... fun

As I finished up editing Erin & Billy's engagement session I ran across a few fun images that I had to share. These two have such wonderful personalities, and these few images show a glimps of what I had the privilege of experiencing that afternoon...

This was our last set of shots at the end of the day. And I guess Erin was done and was trying to run away. But Billy wouldn't let her. :)

Earlier, we were near the fort on a small hill. Not only is this hill great for photographers to lay on, it's also the perfect size and slope for small boys to roll down. Here you can see Erin & Billy's reaction to the boys rolling right towards me...

He narrowly missed me, but I'm okay!


I really love this one. Wow!

Wedding Album

I wanted to post a few spreads from Jodi & James' wedding album that I finished designing this weekend.

Erin & Billy

I headed out to St. Augustine under comfortably chilly, but clear skies. But by the time I parked it was much cooler and windy at the coast. It seems the only times I'm in St. Augustine I'm either sweating to death, or freezing. Today, I was freezing.

However, Erin and Billy were so much fun that I soon warmed up walking ALL over St. Augustine for their engagement session.

I know that Erin will be checking for some images from the session, so here are just a few of the many favorites that I have so far.



You guys are a beautiful couple...





...and so cute in love.

This spot holds special significance to them. St. Augustine is special since Billy asked Erin to marry him here, but it's also where they went on their first date. This table specifically...

One year

Sometimes it's hard to believe that a year has gone by already since my wedding. Bill and I were married a year ago in Cedar Key, and we returned to spend a quiet weekend there celebrating.

The first day that we were there, the gulf was as calm as glass. It was really beautiful and somewhat rare (at least for me). Bill wanted desperately to go get the boat and get out on the water, but I just wanted to relax and wouldn't let him. Needless to say, we should have taken advantage of the great weather. When we did go out on the boat later in the weekend, we didn't last too long in the miserable cold and windy conditions.

Here are a few images of Bill that I captured in Cedar Key that I absolutely adore. They capture his personality perfectly.

And of course, and obligatory Honeymoon Cabin shot...


It was a wonderfully relaxing getaway.

Personality

I'm not quite sure what it is about Lori and Justin's farm. But apparently there's something in the water there, because everyone just oozes personality. People, dogs, horses... everyone is just a blast to be around and really enjoy being in front of the camera.

Interest

While editing Lori and Justin's engagement session tonight, I ran across this series. I love when some dog's personalities show through, and I thought it was funny when Cole noticed the beeping and clicking of my camera. Please bear with me while I narrate...

"I'm having so much fun playing with my friends..."


"...wait a minute... I hear beeping..."


"...and now there's clicking..."

"...what is that?!?"
