I've been struggling to begin this blog post. I know this should be about Katie and Jim, and it will be, but first I need to talk about Katie and me. Our first message was in 2012. She had messaged me about photographing her boyfriend's homecoming from deployment in Virginia. Jim ended up coming home early as a surprise so it didn't end up working out.

Anna is such an awesome girl, I don't think it's possible to not like Anna. She's so sweet, full of laughter and her smiles are just contagious. From the first email, her enthusiasm was palpable, and I loved the email I got from her after our meeting, with the subject "Hello my photographer! :)" I was so excited to finally meet her fiancé Gene and work with them for their engagement session last Thursday!

There was a threat of rain and it looked like it might rain out our plans. I checked the forecast and it said a 0% chance of rain until 7:00 pm, so we bumped their session up to 4:30 in hopes to beat the rain. On the way...
I have really been looking forward to Kasi and Ryan's wedding since my first meeting with them. They are so fun and hilarious and I love to be around them. They also picked what is quite possibly the most gorgeous wedding venue ever. Combine these two and you get a wedding that I dreamed about for weeks. What's crazy about ThorpeWood is that even this early in spring where the majority of the trees are still bare, it's still stunningly...
