You guys, Jordan and David are great.

They came to me with so many meaningful ideas for their engagement session, one of which, was to start the session at the very spot where David proposed on a walk he took her on.

Another one of their ideas was to include their letters that they wrote to each other  throughout the course of their relationship.

I know. Sweet, right?

They didn’t do the long-distance thing. They just liked writing letters. Specifically to each other. And so they did.

JORDAN!! Those eyes! I can’t get over them!!

Our next stop was a part of Dallas that they frequent — going to shows, shopping some good ol Buffalo Exchange and flipping through records. Together.

You two make an alleyway look good.

I mean, I can really only rave about a person’s eyes SO MANY times in one blog post before it gets redundant, so I’m going to keep my thoughts to myself.

(It’s-just-that-I-feel-like-they-SPARKLE!)

It’s just that they smiled like this throughout the course of the session and it just made my heart so stinkin’ happy.

Some shots at the nearby Good Records was a must, as it turns out David is a bit of a record junkie , but it would seem that it’s hard for him to focus on the records when Jordan’s around . . .

I love this image even more now after a friend gave me her take on it. You see, sometimes I have issues choosing pictures for blogposts — the issue being that I just want to post all of them — so I often have to ask James or a nearby friend their opinion on which ones to include/exclude from the post. My friend Brittney was looking through Jordan and David’s images and and she stopped at this one and said:

“Oh. She is SO in love. That is the picture of a woman in love.

I felt like her friend and I had walked in on a moment, and she looked up at me as if to say,  ‘I am so in love with this man.'”

I was very pleased with this synopsis.

David is a literature major at the University of North Texas, so books were very much a necessary addition to the end of the session.

Again, it looks like he has a difficult time concentrating on reading with Jordan at his side though.

Jordan and David, I wish the two of you all the very best that life has to offer. Thank you for choosing me as your engagement photographer and letting me document these sweet, sweet moments.

I cannot think of a better way to introduce Sarah and Jeremy to the blog than with an especially explosive laugh from Sarah and that not-quite-apologetic smile cracking across Jeremy’s face.

This, this is them.

We started out their engagement session at Beth Marie’s on the Denton Square.

And, as you can see from the picture below, we weren’t about to leave any man behind.

Ooh! Let’s play a game and count how many time Sarah laughs in this short blog post . . . this is #2 . .  .

#3 . . .

It’s hard to tell because we can’t actually see her face in this one . . . but I’ll let this one slide.

#4

YOU GUYS! I love this. I love your reactions to each other. I guess I just love y’all. Together. (happy sigh)

Oh, and #5.

There’s that explosive laugh again – #6. It made so many appearances throughout the session and I couldn’t be happier. I love when people feel free to laugh during my sessions!

I’d like to think that it’s a combination of me being really funny and Sarah just loving laugher in general.

Yeah, girl.

Yeah. Y’all look good.

There’s something about the way Jeremy holds Sarah. It’s encompassing and tender and real.

That boy loves holding that girl.

#7

Sarah and Jeremy, thank you for being so stinkin’ cute together. Thank you for laughing.

Here’s to more laughing pictures on your upcoming wedding day! Holla.

I got a call from Arlinda two weeks or so before her wedding.

She had decided that she needed engagement pictures and could I pretty please fit her in? (insert cute Arlinda smile)

If you know Arlinda, you know no one can say “no” to this cute-as-a-button human being. I was so pleased to find an open evening in my calendar just for a quick mini-session for my old journalism buddy from our days of working at the North Texas Daily together in college.

She told me she didn’t need anything extensive. She just needed one good picture. (These are just a few of my personal favorites.)

There’s just something so satisfying about seeing someone you knew once, being so happy.

Don’t get me wrong, Arlinda was always smiling when I knew her before she was with Anthony.

But seeing her now, in Anthony’s arms, beaming?

She was wearing a smile with so big it looked as if her tiny body could have just burst with happiness at any moment.

Arlinda, I’m so happy for you. And your happiness.

I hope you got your one, good picture and many more.

Brandy and AG. Where do I begin?

They’re a fun-loving, laid back couple whose story of how they met was summed up by Brandy as, “He thinks he got me and I think I got him.”

We met up one evening MONTHS ago (I’MSOBEHINDONBLOGGING) for their engagement session in Deep Ellum and I believe we had a fun little time together, us three.

Get it?

They fit together.

Brandy and AG’s session was filled with personalized touches, like these stick figure drawings they’re holding.

Anytime Brandy and AG leave each other little notes or write each other cards on special occasions they draw these little stick figures of each other  along with it.

So of COURSE they drew life-sized ones for their engagement session.

Yes, that’s Chuck Norris in the background. AG may have been a bit more excited about this fact than Brandy but . . .

These two stressed that they wanted casual, goofy  engagement photos. But I MUST say, Brandy and AG, y’all can sure work it with the best of them.

My favorite part about this session was the way we ended it.

AG instructed us to all put our hands together and on 1, 2, 3, we disbanded with “GO TEAM!”

I’m so excited for their wedding day and April will be here before we know it!

GO TEAM!
