It’s Throwback Thursday! I have so many wonderful couples & families from the past couple years that haven’t been shared!
Be sure to check back here on Thursdays to see some of my favorites from 2014. 🙂
Jeanelle is a teacher & Brian is a fire fighter. Yes, they’re as awesome as you’re already assuming they are. 😉 While we were planning their engagement session Jeanelle said that we could have access to the firehouse & even take out a firetruck. To say that I was excited about this would be an understatement. Just when I thought I couldn’t be anymore thrilled about their session she told me she knew of a spot in the woods with an old school bus. OK, now I’m jumping up and down in my office chair, no big deal. 😉
The day of their session arrived and it was such a blast! I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my daughter I got to ride in a firetruck, I knew she’d be jealous. See? Your Mom is cool! haha
When Jeanelle saw how pregnant I was she offered up other suggestions so I wouldn’t have to hike out into the woods to the spot she had found. She’s so sweet & always thinking of others, but you couldn’t have stopped me. I was stoked. I had to laugh once we got out there because they really drove me almost the whole way anyway.
I was looking forward to their wedding even more once we finished that session. They are both so friendly and genuinely nice people. The kind of couple you just don’t find everyday, but I lucked out, and got to be their wedding photographer. 🙂

Planning your wedding? Engagement sessions are a great “warm up” for your big day, and really help my couples to feel more comfortable with two photographers following them around on their wedding day.
