Last Sunday I had the fun opportunity to attend a photographer shootout hosted by Catie Ronquillo & Elizabeth of After Yes. They did a wonderful job of providing gorgeous models and yummy details for us to photograph.  Here's part one of the shootout, all the delightful details.

Mary + Muyiwa E session

I knew Mary and Muyiwa's engagement session was going to be great for 2 reasons. 1.  This shoe.  Any girl who can rock this, is awesome.

2.  This line: I asked Mary how she knew that Muyiwa was the one.  She said "I saw a reflection of myself in him."  Beautiful!

Yep, those 2 reasons and many more pretty much guaranteed an amazing shoot.  Not to mention that they are the sweetest couple; laid back, kind, and very photogenic!

One of my favorites?  Why yes it is!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous is all I have to say!

The next two are some of Mary and Muyiwa's favorites. I've got to agree with them!  And how cool is it that their wedding colors are watermelon and green, just like the leaves in the background!

The entire shoot Mary kept saying how happy they were to have me as their photographer, and I kept thinking how happy I was to have such incredible clients!  I'm looking forward to their wedding this summer!

In Front of the Camera

This past weekend was delightully full of photography work for me behind the camera. However, I also snuck in a bit of time to get in front of the lens too.  I'm not camera shy at all, but it was strange being in my clients shoes.  My photographer, Ashley of Live.Laugh.Photograph was amazing.  She did a great job of making me comfortable, & confident.  And in the photos I look skinny. WIN :)  Here's one of my favorite shots.

Thanks Ashley. You rock!
