Sometimes in photoshoots you let the little people lead. 

You give them the space to be crazy, silly, and giggly. 

Other times, you let the big people lead. 

You remind them that they were once little people too... and wait for them to break out of their shell. 

Sometimes the little people act like big people... 

And your heart melts in a big puddle of sweetness. 

Sometimes jokes about bodily functions transcend big and little people... 

And make everyone very giggly. 

Sometimes little people act like big people in such a cool way that you can't wait for them to become big people.

They're going to make some pretty awesome big people.

Sooner or later, big or little, no one is really leading. 

It's just one pile of love. 

And everyone gets a chance to be little... 

And big. 

Little people are my favorite people. 

But big people aren't so bad either. :)

Let's just say.... Rachel knew it was coming. She'd been waiting for 11 years for this guy to pop the question, and she even knew that he was looking at rings. She was hopeful, yet patiently biding her time for him to plan his moment. 

The evening quickly arrived. Dressing up, romantic dinner, walk on the plaza. 

In perfect Charlie & Rachel moment, Charlie said all the right things (of course), and Rachel had the best sarcastic reply.  And suddenly it didn't matter anymore if it was cold outside. 

The plaza shops gave us the perfect window light to capture their moments of joy!! 

YAY!! Being engaged is the BEST!

Charlie did an amazing job of picking out the most perfect, unique, vintage ring for his bride. He knows her so well. :) 

Congrats, you lovebirds!! So exciting to see how you guys have grown together in the last 2 years, and I'm so thankful we've been able to be part of it!! Love you guys!
