olivia+derek {engagement}

Yay! Yay! Yay! I have been so excited to share this session with you. I had a blast capturing the love that Olivia and Derek share. It was such a joy to see how happy this guy makes my friend. ;)

Thank you both for inviting me into your lives and for climbing through thorns and grasses and bugs and 100 degree weather for your shoot. Love you!

What better place to start out their photo shoot than the very place that Derek proposed!

See what I mean? Have you ever seen such a happy face?

I love the softness of this next one.

Olivia had the great idea of bringing her vintage record player and her record collection.

Love them! Her eyes are gorgeous!

Thanks Alice! I know right? Her eyes really look like that in real life. I did not enhance them in photoshop one bit.

You are so amazing!!! Love each one of those shots!

[Olivia]

Shannon, you have made my heart truly happy. Thank you SO much for making our memories that much more sweet with your amazing gift. Seriously, words can't express the happiness I feel when looking at these pictures. I will forever cherish them. You have frozen our joy in time and I'm forever thankful.

These are absolutely GORGEOUS, Shannon.

I am in love with the field photos. It makes me sad that you are no longer doing portrait sessions. I am dying for a family session like this.
