Emily & Daniel are absolute sweetheart's. I have known Daniel for about 4 years now. In college we had this performance every year called "freshman follies." It was a musical with guys and girls where the directors come up with a theme, songs/dances and then the taught it to the group of freshman. I directed the show as a junior and Daniel was one of my freshman follier's... I know you are not supposed to have "favorites" at this kind of thing, but Daniel was always my favorite little follier :) 

I was so honored that Emily & Daniel asked me to shoot their engagement session while I was in Oklahoma last. We shot in Stillwater, which is where we went to college. The three of us went out to a really neat old car yard that was full of exciting things to shoot. Those are the type of places you get to shoot in Oklahoma.... those little gems are harder to come by in Seattle :)

This weekend is our alumni's (OSU's) homecoming. It is always a really special time to be back in Oklahoma. Fall in Stillwater is sprinkled with so many amazing memories of when Chris and I first started dating freshman year of college. Going to the coffee shop having lattes together, bundling up, having him drive me to class because although it was just a half mile away it was too cold to walk :) he has always spoiled me. It has been such a blessing to be here with family and tonight we will see some of our close college friends. I'm not much of a football person, but a good friend of my grandmother got us tickets to the homecoming game (which are very hard to come by) so I think we'll be bundling up tonight to go out and support our Cowboy's. Should be a good time.

I don't know how to encourage you other than by saying I LOVE your work! The world would be missing something SPECIAL if you guys weren't living out your dreams. Thank you!

These last two engagement sessions are insane! Absolutely incredible work. I love your color correcting and processing. Subtle but definite. Awesome stuff.
