It’s been a really busy week! Most folks are back from vacations and the weather seems to be cooling down just a bit (just 79 degrees outside right now… LOVE it!) so thoughts are naturally turning to family portraits and senior pictures.

Yesterday was quite the whirlwind! I finished retouching a wedding and Shannon & Tyler’s engagement session, got them both online and headed down to Altus for Jennifer & Evan’s wedding. (Photos to come.) Needless to say, after getting back home (a 2-1/2 hour drive) it already felt like a very long weekend, so I was relieved for a quiet Sunday to relax at home. We’ve become pretty protective of our Sundays. =) We’re not sure yet what the plan is for today… Everyone’s napping at the moment. I’m sure it will include watching some of the Olympics and relaxing and maybe even some grilling out, too, since it’s so beautiful out.

Here are a several of my favorites from our recent engagement portrait session with Shannon & Tyler! They drove down all the way from Tulsa and with current fuel prices, we know it was an investment and we were really honored to help them with some fun, fresh engagement portraits.

I just love these moody B&W;’s…

Had to take advantage of some new signage. =)

Okay, I probably need to explain this shot: Shannon asked for is because they’re both really into running and New Balance shoes, and they wanted a picture to remember those shoes by!

B&W; details are always good. It’s hard not to swing your legs when you’re sitting and your feet don’t touch the ground, isn’t it?

Thanks for checking in and thanks so much to everyone for the comments in our last post. They really do make our day. =)
