Alyssa + Scott { Little Rock Engagement}

  It was a gorgeous day in Little Rock when we shot Alyssa and Scott's engagement session.  A few places we shot at were The Capital Hotel, The Capital Cellar and Wildwood Park. I can't wait for their wedding in October!  Here's a few of my favorites from the day....

Be sure and stay tuned for Alyssa's bridal session post coming soon!  Evie

Little Rock

  This past weekend has been crazy busy!  I flew to Little Rock to shoot an engagement session and a bridal session  and boy was it hot there in Arkansas.  I can't wait to start editing, but first I have to post at least one picture from the backyard we shot the bridal session at.  I fell in love with this pool.  Like.  Entirely. Fell. In. Love.  (long sigh)  Hope you have more energy than I do today, because I'm exhausted.  Evie:)

Phillip + Shannon l Surprise Engagement....The Details

  OK, I seriously have no clue where to even start.  Maybe I should first tell you, Phil is my older brother.  He has been dating Shannon about 5 years now.  About 2 months ago, Phil said he was going to propose to Shannon.  Of course, I was a little shellfish (lol) and asked if I could photograph it because I've always wanted to shoot something like this.  He said yes, and I started hounding him about how he was going to do it.  He was a little clueless.  I can say that, right?  He had some ideas and I had some too:)  OK, I had lots because I LOVE details!!!  Pretty much everything I asked Phil to do he was up for it.  He did however have a few things he wanted.  #1 Norah Jones, "Come away with me" playing on location, #2 He and Shannon's favorite hot apple cider there to drink, and #3 He did not want to see my beautiful face at any point.  I was kinda bummed because I really, really wanted to come out at the end and get some engagament type poses, but alas it wasn't about me, so I was cool with it:0)  I knew I had a lot to do so I called on my favorite three sisters (btw, I only have 3) Amy, Mollie and Leah.  I thought if we all worked together it would mean more to Phil and Shannon.  I can't even tell you how many hours we talked on the phone about this session.  Thank you girls!!!!

       
               First, a big thanks to Leah and Brian for helping me set up! Brian, you were a HUGE help in making  me invisible.  I couldn't have set up the camo blind without you!

Doesn't it look purdy? 

My sister, Amy was in charge of creating and sewing "amazing pillows".  ONLY Amy would see a

 $600 pillow

in a magazine and try to copy it!  lol  She spent 25 hours sewing this pillow ONLY...like seriously.  I almost wanted Shannon to hate it so I could keep it:)  And four hours of sewing on the other pillows. 

I was THRILLED when Phil said I could put the ring in a mini pumpkin.  Perfect for fall and decoration;)

One more detail then I'll share my favorite images.  Shannon has a daughter named, Destiny.  Phil bought her a necklace to give to her so she felt included.  Phil is ALWAYS reading his bible so I thought I would include it in the shot of her necklace. 

OK, here's some of my fav's from the day.....cue the sailboat!!!!

                                              I love how happy Shannon looks here.

          And of course, if you have no clue what I'm talking about, here's the video that will explain it all:) Evie Pin It

Anna and Devin

I've known Anna's family since I was in 8th grade, great family!  I was actually Anna's summer camp counselor back when I was 18...lol. Things worked out for me to take her engagement pictures with Devin. I was really thrilled to work with them. Not only are they adorable, they are really talented! Anna is majoring in Dance here in Springfield. Devin is at school in KC studying Music Education. I really wanted to show who they were in the pictures. When I asked Anna to bring a tutu, she was all for it:) And Devin was more than happy to bring his guitar. We were running in and out of the barn all night due to passing showers, but all in all, I LOVE how they turned out. Here's a few of my favorites.  Anna and Devin, I wish you all the happiness in the world!
