Engaged, Jessica & Daniel!

Last week I photographed Jessica and Daniel, and their vintage engagement! It was fun and I was so happy that it didn’t rain, considering it poured the entire way to Bushnell! Thank You, God!

It was really hard for me to choose the ones I wanted to post, because there were a lot of them that I really liked, which is a GREAT sign.  We grabbed some inspiration from here and there and came up with our own little mish mash of a theme :).

 

Anyways, enjoy and be sure to tell me what you think :)

More posts to come! I’m so behind!

My Precious Grandmother

 

This next post I devote solely to my grandma; My one living grandparent, the only one I’ve ever known.

I’ve lived in Florida ever since I can remember, and her in Indiana…so when my family got the chance to visit there, she was a priority. The last time I saw her was the week of my cousin’s wedding, so it had been almost 3 years.

These last few [years] her health issues have started to get worse, which is so sad to me, and I’m extremely thankful to have her and to have been able to spend a little time with her earlier this month when we passed through.  I told her I was now a photographer and brought my camera with me, and to my surprise she was thrilled that I was taking her picture(s)!

So that we did. We talked and she gardened, and I took pictures of her.

This is my grandmother. raw and unscripted.

         

I realized while talking with her and through the small amount of time we spent together that I take after her in some ways  and I’m honored. Sometimes I wish that I had grown up around her, and that we were close…but then again I think of how much I appreciate her now and I don’t think it would be the same if I had.

I love you, Grandma.
