I love this couple, these picture, and these new locations…what a wonderful shoot!

How adorable are they?! I knew I was excited about this shoot…but I was even more excited proofing the pictures.  I love them so much. This couple is so sweet together and were soo easy to photograph.  I absolutely can’t wait to photograph their wedding this December!

We had a great time walking around finding new spots for photos.  I usually have a couple ideas of where to go, or at least a street to walk down, but I always give myself one challenge:  Don’t do the same thing as everyone else. It’s common here to use the same things over and over again.  It gets so boring–at least use them in a way you haven’t before! I am excited to do more shoots downtown and find new places to use!

Who knew how great the Courthouse could look in engagement pictures?!

Did I mention the light? Oh, my the light.

Left: favorite.

Oh, another favorite!

And just a couple other things to note: this weekend is the Annual Fall Festival of Leaves here in Bainbridge, Ohio (where I live ;).

It’s one of my favorite times of the year; be sure to come out and enjoy our beautiful village!  I’ve even taken the weekend off to enjoy it. Today is a day full of spending time with my husband (he’s off today) and my puppy, then the Paint Valley football game (50 years of football!) this evening. Saturday will be Festival time & a baby shower. On Sunday it’s back to the Festival again for church and the parade :). It’s going to be a great weekend! Oh, and if you have extra energy at night…feel free to come help our youth group sweep the town streets, a yearly tradition (and we take all the help we can get ;)!

One last thing, if you need a laugh, head over to my friend Blake’s blog and read about a new game he created…and a little about yours truly.  I read a lot (and I mean a lot) of blogs, and Blake’s is by far the funniest blog I read…so I promise, you won’t be disappointed!  (I’m still laughing at that post!)

Have a wonderful weekend…hope to see you on the streets of Bainbridge!!!
