Marita & Markus ~ engagement

Marita and I met in middle school, and were friends for many of our early years....we even had our "sweet 16" birthday together! Years have past since those days, and I one day got an email from her asking me to meet her to discuss wedding photography, I was shocked, excited, and couldn't wait to meet the man she was going to marry! ... Lets just say they are perfect together!

So along with their beagle (maybe cross) Tyson, we all spent a good portion of Friday morning taking pictures and catching up.
I noted their giggles together, maybe a few inside jokes, and their mutual fascination with snakes..... yup, their that good together. :)

I'm very much looking forward to Marita & Markus's day, and very happy for an old friend finding a true love.

Teresa & Kevin ~ engagement

After waiting many weeks for these cherry blossoms to arrive, June wedding couple Teresa & Kevin were a blast to work with.

With help from pampered little pup Oliver, who reminds me very much of my dog, we concurred a shoot at the Rail yards area. Believe it or not, this was my first engagement session shot there. I had fun, was inspired and could have spent another hour in the location.

Thanks you two and look forward to working with you again soon!

Kelsey & Dean ~ engagement

Undeniably the best time of year to take pictures, I had a great session with a photo-friendly couple, Kelsey & Dean, who are getting married this coming spring. Super-Dog Hunter was too busy to sit still at the beach, but we still were able get a few shots before he took swim and happily returning to the truck with a souvenir stick!

Looking forward to your wedding you two!

Sheila & Chase ~ engagement

The Thanksgiving weekend I had a e-session with newly engaged couple Sheila & Chase, that took us all over the town, to get a little bit of verity for their photos.

Have a great year of planning and being engaged you two! I'm very much looking forward to working with you and your family again!

Kate & Mike ~ engagement

I don't know where the last month has gone! We are half way into October and things have been busy! Fall is a very popular time to have engagement pics taken and this one was of my favorite shoots. Kate & Mike were so funny, and great to work with. I love red heads!!!

Happy October!






Here is a message I got from the bride - to - be...

"Karen, they are just gorgeous!
We totally picked the right photographer!
Thank-you! Kate"
