Took my FREE Engagement Pics this weekend PIP!! :)

PrettyCW5 · October 2011

So we weren't planning on doing engagement photos because it wasn't in our budget, but after seeing all these beautiful photos and realizing how FI and had no really nice pics for our wedding website I decided to do some.

Thanks to my mom who had been suggesting she would take them. (I thought she was joking). My mother took our photos yesterday and of course I have them back already lol!

Here are some of my favorites.

Edit: Forgot about this one of us with the Ring-"Bear"...(my little brother) he kept trying to jump into all of our pics.
and couldn't get this one to load the 1st time.

Thanks!! She is! :) It's her passion. She specializes in portrait photography. She shoots in her spare time (she's a nurse full time) and has her own business. She enjoys shooting for individuals who wouldn't typically be able to afford milestone pics. i.e. sr. portraits, grad pics, family pics, etc. I have been her trusty assistant for years. lol...I just never thought she would want to take engagment pics. She doesn't shoot weddings although I have shot a wedding with her. She did it for one of my former employees. (shooting a wedding is hard work)

Lol! We talked about that! :) I would rather her sit back and enjoy the wedding instead of "work". Lol but we have realized that is simply a wish on my end. So more than likely she'll be up doing her "thang"! :)
