Brittany + Reed | A snowy engagement session at Twin Oaks, Benton, Illinois

Engagements

Banking on the weather

I call my mom on the drive to almost every photo session I do. My parents have been so incredibly supportive of my photography journey, and I always have nervous jitters before a session, no matter how much preparation I do. I can distinctly remember calling her up in excitement with my stomach knotting up, and telling her that I was about to do my very fist photo shoot in the snow. I was so nervous but so excited at what I would potentially get.


Ya'll. This session was magic! Brittany and Reed have such an amazing chemistry, and they are so stinking beautiful together. The snow falling just added to the magic and beauty of their surroundings. It was cold, but I think we all knew we were getting gold, so we kept going. They followed directions amazingly, and I just snapped away. We even had some fun near the end of the session. So enjoy this gallery, as I think it is one of the best!

And for kicks and giggles, this was a failed "kiss with your teeth" prompt that is supposed to be like smiling before kissing...but um...yeah...they failed...
