Jarod & Erica: Engaged!

Sigh. I could go on and on and on about this couple. They are both so incredibly sweet and at our first meeting, I knew we would be the perfect match. I am photographing their weeding next weekend and am so so excited and blessed to be working with such a laid-back and caring couple.

We took these engagement pictures just about two weeks ago, and although their proofing gallery has been posted for quite some time, I am just finding time to post their session on my blog! It's very busy around here. We took these photos in Downtown Glendale, and for once, it was a very cloudy and cold Arizona day. The sun was no where to be found, and I was a little bummed because I was excited to work with some sun flare and use it in their photos. But, we managed to have a great time, even with the thick clouds!









They were totally up for doing anything, which of course made me super happy.





The ring!









They are both so cute. This session had a couple of good stories actually! First, as we were walking through downtown there was a fellow that was in desperate need of food. Erica is so so sweet and offered him money as there was no restaurant near by, but he didn't want to take the money, he just wanted food. So, Erica being the sweet lady that she is walked a few blocks and bought him a meal at Subway :) so nice. It made his day. Then, as we were walking by a few downtown houses, there was an absolutely adorable historic home for sale. It was an open house, and we decided to take a peek inside. It was so lovely! The character of the house was outstanding, and it had those amazing wood floors, molding, and a claw tub: it was so charming! So, needless to say, this session was full of a lot of adventure and was kind of a 'mini-session,' but it worked out great!



Just as it started to get very dark, we snapped a few more. I love the playfulness in this next one
