As a family photographer, I sometimes get requests to do photos for just adults.

Usually anniversary photos, or in this case… engagement photos!!

Casey and MaRyah are planning a lovely Colorado wedding next year and wanted to celebrate their engagement with fall photos.

I’m so used to working with little kids that I think I treated them like toddlers for the first 20 minutes on accident. :)

But I think deep down inside, everyone still has a little kid who just wants to be play and laugh and giggle a little bit.

So that’s what we did. :)

Casey and MaRyah - you guys are so patient with me!! Thanks for trusting me with your engagement photos and for braving all of the different crazy ideas I threw your way. I hope you enjoy your photos!! :)

I must warn you to prepare yourself.

I’m about to share an overwhelming amount of family joy..

(I just really couldn’t contain myself.)

If I haven’t said it enough yet, I’ll say it again… photographing families is my FAVORITE.

And when people I already know and love hire me to photograph their family, it makes my job that much more delightful.

It gives me such a unique perspective to capture their personalities!

In the Dickinson household, everyone loves baseball.

So we found the most adorable little field where the sunshine just glowed.

We passed the baby (and some baseballs) back and forth… And finished off with a dance party.

It really doesn’t get any better than that.

Mike and Jen, we really really love you and your family SO much. Thanks for trusting me (again) with your wonderful family photos and for putting up with all my crazy ideas!! I hope you enjoy them. :)
