Morgan & Dave are from my hometown in Naperville, IL but I never knew them while I lived there. What is crazy to think is that we were all living within a 10 mile proximity of one another at one time but we never connected until this session together. When these two first began their relationship, Morgan was still living in Chicago and Dave was in Seattle. In an effort to stay connected, they made creative post-it notes of things they wanted to talk about, funny quotes and activities they wanted to do once they were actually living in the same place together. I thought it was such a thoughtful concept, so I had them bring the post-it's to the session and stick them all over their faces :). Each of the notes has unique value and meaning to these two. 

Morgan & Dave now call Seattle home and it was my absolute joy and honor to capture them during this season of being engaged. These two are full of life, love and stories and I don't think I've laughed so hard on a session in a long time. I learned (from reading their post-it's) that Morgan, like me, is an ENFP and Dave is an INTJ. What a completely intriguing and perfect combination, the Inspirer meets the scientist :) It's pretty endearing.

These two love anything vintage and derive a lot of inspiration from the things of the past so we really wanted to try to incorporate that into their lifestyle shoot and had a lot of fun in the process. Enjoy a little bit of Morgan & Dave!
