2012 - Engagement/Couple Sessions

As 2012 draws to an end, I have reached the final Engagement/Couple session that have been scheduled. I decided to go ahead and make a tradition of last years posts and create 'BEST OF - SPP in 2012' and this is the 'Engagement/Couple' session post!

It is a great honor and brings me lots of joy when I get asked to photograph people. And whether it is such a big time in their life - wedding preparation, announcements or just photos of them for their children to look back on, I just LOVE being apart of that. Getting to know them, see their love for each other, meeting their friends and family...its really the best job a girl could ask for!
I not only call a lot of these people my clients, but they are my friends. Thank you to each and EVERY one of you. You make this girl happy! :]

It has been a year of a few firsts with Engagement sessions - with unique themes, new locations and new ideas...but that's what I love meeting new people and being inspired! I cannot wait to see what 2013 has in store for SPP!  

Becky & Stephen - Couple Session

I knew Becky from High School. We were on our dance team together! She is dating Stephen and when she contacted me about photos, I got super excited. I just love Becky's smile, and how Stephen always brings it out of her. Y'all are just adorable. We even brought out their babies..aka, dogs...for a part of the session! Here are just a few of my favorites, I hope you love them Becky & Stephen!

Shawna, Ben and Ava - Family Session

You might remember this lovely couple from their wedding I had the pleasure of photographing earlier this year! It has been a big year for both Ben and Shawna Gulley! And today was the first day I got to meet little Ava! She has a head full of hair and she is curious one! It was great to see this them all again and its always an honor when folks continue to ask me to take pictures as their family grows. I am blessed to know this couple and their family. After this year, I am so glad that they are happy, in good health and I know they are moving towards great things in Washington DC.
Best of luck with the move guys, I pray it goes smoothly for you and housing is readily available for the holidays. Thanks for allowing me to be apart of and document your journey this year!

Jeanette & Manny

The weekend before I got married, one of my very good friends Jeanette finally said yes to Manny. I had to priviledge of being apart of their simple outdoor ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family. Jeanette and Manny, y'all have such a big year ahead of both of you.  I am so excited for you both and cannot wait to find out what you are having! I am calling GIRL, I guess we will see soon! Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your big day and I hope you enjoy these few photos! :]
