I posted a sneak peak from this session a few days ago and I may have gotten carried away with this post. These two were so great together I just couldn’t help it. And their perfect-for- an-engagement-session outfits didn’t hurt either. I couldn’t pick a favorite from this series, so you get to see them all… Gina, you make sitting on the ground look really good: Another gorgeous outfit? Please do: Nothing says romance like a bicycle basket with flowers and a blanket. Save the date :) Some fun games… …and a beautiful ring. Side note: love her bracelet too. And just because she looked absolutely stunning in this light and this wind:Gina and Brandon, I absolutely loved seeing you guys again! I hope you enjoy these images. To say I’m sad I won’t be able to photograph your wedding is an understatement, but I know it will be absolutely beautiful and I wish you two all the best!

My thoughts on pregnancy thus far:

• I’m hungry ALL the time. You’d think it would be great to get to eat a lot more, but it’s actually really exhausting. Just when I finish cleaning up the kitchen I’m hungry again and have to start all over. Not to mention the slight embarrassment of having to get back in line (i.e. at Rubio’s) to order just one more taco.
• I’ve had approximately 12 zits my whole life, 8 of them were in the last few months.
• Feeling the baby move is the coolest and strangest feeling ever.
• Watching my husband’s face feeling the baby move is the sweetest feeling ever.
• We are super excited to find out the gender of our baby! So much so that we thought we’d spread the joy by letting you in all the fun…
