Ben + Katie are getting married in Texas later this summer but needed some engagement photos. I don’t normally say yes to anything wedding related, but they happened to catch me at just the right moment where I was feeling the need to mix it up a bit. So we headed down to Kirkland yesterday evening for a really fun time.
The weather yesterday was just insane. Perfectly sunny all day and then right when we sat down for a pre-engagement shoot cocktail, the thunder set in. It didn’t scare me though, I usually prefer stormy skies to perfectly blue ones and this summer storm gave us some pretty incredible light that I could never duplicate in the studio.
The best part? We got to include their daughter, Bella, in some of their photos! I’ll start with Bella first because she was SO well behaved for me.
A favorite. It was raining, I was hunched over my camera, Bella wasn’t sure what the heck was going on. Good times.
So sweet.
1, 2, 3 … Attack! Put my Mom down!
Trying to blend in.
And a few favorites of the lovely couple!
Bella says Happy 4th of July everyone … don’t drink and drive! Woof!
Absolutely beautiful Erin!
I love the image of the bride-to-be running across the road :)
Sensational.
Erin, These are fantastic. I am glad you had a “weak” moment.
Cutest. Couple. Ever.
I love all the shots. They’re so wonderful and happy. Much congrats to the newly engaged. May happiness follow everywhere you all go (including Bella!!!!) :) — and you too Erin and Gracie!!
These are gorgeous! Love her foot kicked up and Bella with the ducks!! :)
My favorite is the one of them walking on the beach… great textures with the sand, water, and jeans! Also really like the expressions where mom is getting a piggy back ride and Bella is jumping up trying to get some attention!
Great stuff Erin! Glad you decided to shake it up a bit & share with us!
I love the photo of them all walking on the beach. Amazing shots!
I love the shot of Bella looking at the camera like “WTH is goin’ on!?!” Priceless!
the shot of bella swimming with the ducks is phenomenal!!
