Caitlin & Joe in Kentville | Engagement

I absolutely love my network and everyone in it. It amazes me how many people I get messages/emails from about photo sessions that I know through people. There hasn't been one "random" person yet. A lot of the time my clients are people I went to high school with or university with. Some have found me through Facebook and mutual friends.

Caitlin was both of the above. We went to the same high school but weren't in the same social circles, she's a lot cooler than I am ;) When I logged into my Facebook a few weeks ago and saw she had messaged me I was completely blown away. And I blushed. She said that she had been following my blog for some time and was interested in an engagement session. Sometimes I feel as if I should give up on this blog. It doesn't seem like I get much traffic most of the time. Once I read her message I made a promise to myself to never think that way about this blog again. Even though the majority of people that view this don't leave any sign of being here, at least now I know they have been. :)

Well Caitlin and her fiancee Joe agreed to meet with me at the RIDICULOUS hour of 8:30am in Kentville for their engagement session. Any of you that know me on a personal level know that I do not do early mornings that well. Matt say's I'm not "fully there" for the first hour after I wake up. Hahaha. Anyways.... :P Kentville is such a beautiful town. It is about an hour outside of Halifax and always feels friendly, no matter the time of year. I was sooo happy that they chose it as the location for their session because I knew we would get awesome images here. One thing I have been dying to do is photograph a couple on a university campus. I am always in awe of different universities. Always so beautiful and so full of life. I even feel smarter when I'm there.

Well, I will stop yacking your ear off and show some of the images. Caitlin and Joe are the stars of this post, not my babbling :)

This school ground is where Joe proposed to Caitlin. It is an extra special spot for her because her grandfather was the principal and her mom went to school there. So cute :)

Ashley & Daniel | Engagement

Over the winter I took photos of the ultra-fabulous Ashley. It was the second time working with her and we had such a blast! We laughed and chatted more than we took photos. At the end of the shoot we talked about how she had just recently become engaged and we talked about the possibility of me photographing her engagement session and her wedding. We decided to do a trial run together and do an engagement session this summer and if her and Daniel liked the photos then I would probably end up being the wedding photographer.

A week ago we got together for the exciting engagement session. We went to an apple orchard in the valley called Boates U-Pick. The sun was shining, there were still some apple blossoms on the trees, everything was perfect. I had so much fun photographing Ashley and Daniel. Ashley always has lots of ideas for pictures so we normally just bounce off each other like energizer bunnies. And we made sure it was quick and painless for Daniel. Hahahaha.

Here are the photos, enjoy :)

Mike & Amy | Engagement

Mike and Amy were suuuuuch a blast to photograph. As previous mentioned here and here, I assisted Liam from Applehead Studios last weekend for this engagement shoot. Mike and Amy were very comfortable in front of the camera and were full of smiles. On top of the benefit of meeting this couple, I was also shown how to use (and quizzed on my knowledge) a light meter and how to properly use the Canon Speedlite 580EX. Knowledge is the key to the world! Lol. Here are the photos I took from the session.

Mike & Amy | Sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak of the engagement/pre-wedding shoot I did on the weekend. I was actually second shooting/assisting with Liam for AppleHead Studio. More to come soon!
