Long time, no picture

Here's my valiant attempt to start this up again! And on my third wedding anniversary, nonetheless. Life has been quite busy lately--getting the new house settled into and finishing up jobs with two of the families I nanny for. Now things have settled down for a couple of weeks and I'm looking forward to another job search, which will hopefully end in me teaching Pre-school! But, along the way I had the pleasure of being asked to take some engagement photos for two of my friends.

They live out of town, but came in for a weekend. It had been raining a couple of days before their arrival and I was really worried that the weather would ruin the outdoor shoot we had planned. Luckily, the rain stayed about three days off and we were blessed with plenty of sunshine. The only thing that had me concerned then was that the couple wanted to go to lunch with a bunch of people before the shoot...meaning we'd be shooting in some pretty harsh afternoon sun. Nothing to do about that I suppose. Though it was an experience snapping pics at such high shutter speeds! I've spent some time editing the 400+ shots that I took of the couple, and they gladly gave their permission for me to share some here :-)
