Just wrapping up the photos for Megan and Derek’s gallery from there session a couple weeks ago…and couldn’t leave a few more alone…just had to edit and share! This couple is great…enjoy!
I can’t tell you how much fun my husband and I had when we met up with Derek and Megan last Saturday for their engagement session. We met them at Derek’s parents home in Renton, where the reception for the wedding will be held…what a GREAT location and it’s right on a small lake, Shady Lake. We also has the pleasure of meeting Derek’s parents who were so nice…looking forward to talking with them more on the wedding day. Of course, I’m a “water gal” and love any location with water, so was excited we were starting out there. And, how lucky could we be…the weather was GORGEOUS…sunny and warm and after all the gray skies and rain we’d had the past week (two, three, month….), I took this as a sign that the wedding day will be wonderful as well and they’ll have a long and happy marriage! After shooting around that location, we piled into our car and headed up to Snoqualmie, to a park where the wedding will be. Wow, what a great location…such an amazing view and the spot for the wedding is perfect. It was great to hear all the plans so we could have an idea of how it’ll be set up and plan for that day. We enjoyed shooting around that area and we even were a bit warm, but no one complained as that’s something rare around here lately!
Our session came to an end and we drove back and dropped of Derek and Megan…they are so much fun and as you can see in the photos, they are totally in love with one another…and oh, so cute…I could have photographed them all day! Oh wait, I will be on their wedding day!!! And, just over a month until that exciting day…oh, how I look forward to sharing with them a day that will carry them forward into their new life as husband and wife!
I must say that Saturday morning had me a bit nervous with looking at the weather and having a family with a two and four year boys coming soon…first of all the weather cleared a bit, meaning we could do some photos outside…AND, I met the family who were GREAT!! Emmett, who is four, after saying hello upon meeting him, instantly asked “Do you have toys?” I loved that…a kid who knows what he wants and I knew this would be fun. Atticus, his younger brother (two), was a bit more bashful and quiet, but I could tell he just needed some time. We started out with Emmett and he quickly found some old trucks (which were my husbands when he was a child) and was soon engrossed in playing with them…his smile and the little dimple that popped out as he smiled were great! Then, it was time for Atticus (I love these boys names!!) to join Emmett…and it took a bit, but it wasn’t long before his very sweet smile and sparkling eyes showed just who he really is! What a blast I had with these boys…so full of life, a great spirit about them and very kind…thank you Clayton and Sihaya for choosing me for your family photos…it was my pleasure to meet and photograph all of you!
I love these photos… Emmett is a true boy and when it was time to sit for a “nice” photo…you can see, it wasn’t what he had in mind…I’m sure that playing with the trucks was much more what he had in mind…but then he had a bit of fun…sliding out of the chair and some great grins for me! What a handsome guy!
Look at how Atticus is holding on to his dad’s arm…isn’t that just the sweetest thing…what a nice looking family!
My last photo of the session…such a fun smile…I knew they were in there!!!
