Emily contacted me about doing anniversary photos for them after I photographed their good friends, the Kemmlings! These two are genius teachers who are huge self-identified dorks - but you'd never believe it from their photos!! Look how much style they have?? 

Emily wore pieces of heirloom jewelry that were given to her from her grandma - such beautiful additions to her outfit! :)

SO sweet!

Emily kept telling me how clumsy she usually is... but I didn't believe her; they looked so elegant together!

We found an old abandoned house lot that was perfect for their photos - Joe and Emily made it look lovely!

Emily and Joe, thanks so much for allowing me to do your photos!! You guys ROCKED them out and it was so fun to get to know you!! :)

Recently, Sunil and I joined my immediate family on vacation in South Dakota - the Black Hills! While we were there, my brother Brian and his lovely wife asked me to do a photo shoot while we were in SUCH a beautiful location!! I LOVED being able to photograph them in such a different location then I normally photograph in. Just check out those woods!! :)

Unfortunately, it rained the majority of our time together... so we ended up doing our photo shoot very last minute. We literally just stopped on the side of the road a few miles away from Mt Rushmore and wandered into the woods! 

Thankfully, Brian and Melinda carry their awesome-sauce with them everywhere they go... and they tend to be in adorable and matching clothing every day! ;)

The rocks were so so cool!

LOVE!

Her boots are so awesome! 

This is Brian's gazing face... ;) 

Awww.... :)

After we did their photos in the woods, they requested some photos around our campfire - to get the full camping experience!! 

Melinda has impeccable taste in details! 

Brian and Melinda, thank you for letting me photograph you and for being flexible with the crazy weather!! I love you guys so much! :)
