Mary Beth and Drew Engagment in the City!

We recently did Mary Beth and Drew’s engagement session downtown and what a great time it was!!!   They are a super fun couple and we really had a blast!  I have had my eye on the baby mural for a while and took them down to the area there not knowing that Mary Beth has recently been feeling “baby crazy” lately.  It made for some great conversation – poor Drew – and some very animated pictures.  I love the red door we found too – really encompasses their energy and personalities!

Beautiful session – Enjoy!

Julie and Stuart – Gorgeous!

Okay so I know it’s cold outside… and hard to believe just a few short weeks ago we didn’t need coats!  The fall color this year was sporadic, but we were able to capture some in a bottle with Julie and Stuart.  The are such a lovely couple and she is just the cutest thing ever.  I’m sure Stuart would agree!  Here are a few of my favorites from their session!  Enjoy!!!!!
