Fun in the Fall

Meet the Putmans!

I met Shelley through fellow photographer Betsy Robinson. Betsy is a fantastic photographer and thanks to her I was able to photograph this amazing family. You should really check out Betsy's photographs on her Facebook page, Betsy Robinson Photography. Really. I'll wait...

Because of this introduction, I was able to capture some truely beautiful moments on this fall afternoon. Shelley was great and had some amazing concepts in mind for their family pictures. We scouted out locations and she had every outfit planned to the max. Shelley, you've got great style! Isn't she sassy?!?

She was so organized that we were able to shoot in several different locations- the first right in their backyard! Because of her fellas' love for camo we were able to get a great scene by just adding Old Glory- enter a beautiful Americana photo!

I love seeing a couple who have such an obvious affection for each other. Shawn and Shelley were so relaxed around each other and that made my job really fun!

Can I just take a moment here to brag on Preston? I mean, really! A two hour photoshoot can test the patience of anyone, much less a nine (almost ten!) year old. Plus, he had to watch his parents KISS! Preston, you are awesome and your cool factor is through the roof!

Thank you all for allowing me to capture these moments for you. I hope you look back on these photos in the future and nothing but great memories come flooding back to you!

Role Models

This past weekend was quite eventful: Arkalalah (if you have no idea what this is, we can't be friends anymore- ha!), Fall Break, and a family wedding.  During the wedding I was able to snap some shots of this cute couple. 

Nope, they aren't the bride and groom, they're my parents! These two were high school sweethearts and I must say the sweetness has carried through for over 35 years. Aren't they cute?

One of the things I love the most about these two is their ability to be silly. If you can be silly around someone, you know you've found "the one". I know this because I am a complete dork around my hubster and he still asked me to marry him. :-) Their love for one another is evident in their everyday interactions. What great role models to look up to!

I hope Matt and I are as adorbs as these two when we've been married as long!

Love you two!
