better together

now i usually have a rule of not posting pictures of myself on this blog due to the sheer fact of low self-esteem, but i will make an exception today.  i finally received my engagement photos, and they are looking fantastic!  although i’ve had a lot of faith in my photographer, john, i was still quite worried about how they would turn out, just because i’m such a photo snob.  i’m glad to learn that my worrying was for nothing. 

the photo shoot concept was simple.  we picked the playground of our old elementary school, since that’s where we first met…  6th grade, mrs. price’s class.  things didn’t get started until college, but the location was sentimental to us.  to maintain the fresh and relaxing summer feeling, i picked white for our outfits.  i wanted the theme to be dreamy and romantic, so i picked an a-line eyelet dress from bcbg, that’s almost unrealistically girly.  in reflection of the location, and the innocent children we once were, i tied my hair up in a loose pony tail.  i also prepared a few props, including my adorable dogs.  yes, i took the engagement shoot as an artistic project.

here’s a little preview:
