Mini Sessions are Here!

Amanda & Kevin { Engaged }

Amanda and Kevin's original session day was rained out due to looming storms and crazy wind. We had a much calmer day on Friday to take their photos, despite the humidity. These two were cracking me up during their session with their seemingly already old-married-couple-like antics. I loved it. Kevin wasn't too excited about taking these photos, but I don't think it was too bad for him...right Kevin? :) Here are my faves!

Another for Micah + Robert

I was editing Micah and Robert's engagement photos today, and I found another one I fell in love with and just had to share.

Micah & Robert { Engaged }

Little Micah's all grown up! Okay, I haven't known her since she was super little, but she still doesn't seem old enough to get married. Micah and I met when we started going to NewSpring Church 5 years ago. Her extended family makes up about half of the church. :) And her brother Scott is one of Adam and my closest friends. I was honored when Micah asked me to be her wedding photographer, and so excited when she told me they are planning an outdoor wedding at their home in the country. I'm so glad she found such a great guy like Robert to marry and can't wait for the wedding!

Here's a sneak peek from our mosquito-infested engagement session yesterday evening.

Rob & Tamika { Proposal }

Right before I left to have Sutton, I had the pleasure of secretly photographing a proposal at Botanica. How does a 9-month pregnant lady "secretly" photograph anything, you might wonder. Not easily.

Rob came to me in May and wanted to make an album of photos to surprise his girlfriend-turned-fiance with while he was deployed in Iraq. We plotted and schemed the best way to keep everything hush hush.

I arrived at Botanica before they did, and brought Adam with me as a decoy. We posed as a couple on a date taking photos of all the beautiful flowers. Once Rob and Tamika arrived, I put on my super telephoto lens, and started following them, keeping a safe distance. I didn't know exactly how or where the proposal would take place, so we scrambled to keep them in our sights at all times. At one point, they were walking towards us and Tamika even said a friendly hello. Little did she know...

I was able to snap the photos of the actual proposal through a trellis so that Tamika still wouldn't catch on. After she said YES and they hugged and kissed, they left. We waited to see them walk out the front doors so we could leave without detection. We waited. And waited. They weren't leaving, and all of a sudden, they came back into the gardens, and Rob walked right up to me! Que MAJOR acting on Rob and my parts:

Rob: "Excuse me, miss?"
Gina, panicking: "Uh, yes?"
Rob: "We noticed you had a camera, and we just got engaged, so we wanted to know if you could take our picture?"
Tamika, acting extremely embarrassed in the background : "I'm so sorry to bother you!"
Gina: "No, no! I'd LOVE to. Congratulations, that's so exciting!!"

So we walked over to where he'd proposed and I took a couple photos. I had to act like an amateur, so I even counted 1, 2, 3 before I took the photos, haha!

Ginger helped me design an album since I was busy having a baby, and while I don't normally do this, I thought I'd post the entire album for your viewing pleasure! (And props to Ginger for her mad design skills!)

Fast forward a couple weeks...Rob tells Tamika he needs her to run an errand for him. She comes in, is handed the book, and once she finally catches on, she exclaims, "That pregnant lady works here?!" Lindsey even got a video of her reaction so we could send it to Rob in Iraq!

Belated congrats to the happy couple!!

Jen & Michael { Engagements }

Meet the nicest couple EVER. Jen and Michael were such a fun couple to spend the afternoon with last Thursday. Turns out, we have a ton of mutual friends too! Small world. We battled the rain throughout our entire session, but we made it work and got some great photos! And since their wedding is in January (in Illinois....so sad I won't be photographing it!), maybe it'll snow on their wedding day. Then they'll have quite the story. :) Here are some of the faves from our rainy engagement session.

Stephanie + Cole { Engagements }

Whew! Yesterday was a hot one! Amid our buckets of sweat, I managed to have an amazing engagement session with Steph and Cole. Steph was super worried about their photos because (as she put it) she and Cole are not "models" but HOLY COW they looked awesome. After a couple shots downtown, we headed over to a park for some softer-feeling photos. Steph trekked through thigh-high weeds in heels and loved it. And Cole was the perfect accessory. I also found out these two go to my church! Small world. Alright Steph...are you ready for this? Deep breaths, they turned out great. :)

Maddie & Collin { Engagements :: Part 2 }

Yesterday was BEAUTIFUL. I spent the early afternoon at Botanica with Maddie and Collin. We took a few photos back in December for their save-the-dates, but wanted to finish up their session in the spring. They are the sweetest couple! They kept telling me how good (i.e. not fat) I looked, so of course we're now BFFs. Theirs is the first wedding after I come back from leave this summer, and I couldn't think of a better couple for my first wedding back!

Kelsi & Ryan :: Take 2 { Engagements }

I'm in love with these pictures!!!! You might remember that I took the first part of Kelsi and Ryan's engagements last week (click here for that post), but then we were rained/hailed out, so we had to reschedule the last part. I'm so glad we did! We had perfect light and perfect temps last night. I had this idea for a vintage-inspired shoot in a forest, and after explaining my idea to Kelsi, she just ran with it. She bought an amazing dress, and found Ryan a skinny tie. They even brought balloons! And the quilt we used was made for me by my Grandma. :) Here are just a few from our awesome shoot last night!

Kaleigh & Jared { Engagements }

I LOVE LAWRENCE!! And I love this couple! I had so much fun on the KU campus yesterday with them...we even had perfect weather (finally!)...we almost cancelled due to wind, but I'm so glad we didn't. Kaleigh, Jared, and I walked all around campus and found some awesome spots for photos. Everything is in bloom and so so pretty. Then we headed over to Mass Street for a change of clothes and scenery. Everyone was out on the town, so we had an audience for much of our shoot. :) Kaleigh and Jared were awesome and went with it! Here are some of the faves...I could've blogged so many more, but I had to limit myself.
