I love this spot.  The fence, the trees, the autumn leaves–perfect spot for romantic engagement photos!

They have the cutest laughs!

Kassidi is going to make such a beautiful bride!

In Black Forest you don’t really look up to the trees for the most vivid fall colors–you look down to all the bushes and grasses for your reds and golds!

I love a good snuggled close-up!

You know how much I love rural roads!

Fall leaves are always fun for throwing!

That may be my pick for the Christmas card, but THIS is my favorite from that evening:

We met up at the studio on a gorgeous (if ridiculously windy) day.  We got some beautiful light, and I am excited to share their pictures with you!
