Whew! What a whirlwind month! We haven't posted in almost a month, but I think we have a pretty good excuse. Lance started back to Tech and is carrying a full load, while I started my teaching career at Upper Elementary 5th Grade at Russellville. I love all 51 of my kiddos and Lance...doesn't love college, haha. I'm pretty sure no one ever truly loves college. We have a really full plate, but in the middle of our big "mess" we have had some time to meet up with some wonderful clients and snap some pictures.
Two weeks ago we finally met the lovely Christa and her hilarious fiancé Blane. We had so much fun with them at their engagement shoot! It is so easy to photograph people who are truly in love, and you can tell that these two definitely are.
Here is their "love" story from Christa's point of view:
Like many other couples, we met at a restaurant. I was working at Papa's diner in my tiny hometown of Havana when three smelly boys came in from a softball tournament to eat lunch on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It's funny how you remember silly little details. Blane ordered a Western burger with onion rings and asked for countless refills of Mountain Dew. I was immediately attracted to his sense of humor and remember thinking after they left the diner that if I had my pick, I'd choose Blane. (Sorry, Dewey and Thomas). :) I kept thinking about how Blane looked so familiar, but thought maybe he had just been in the restaurant before. However, the next week, I ran into him on campus at Tech and realized I had passed by him every week on my way to class! Neither of us knew that the other even went to Tech. We talked for a minute, found each other on Facebook, of course, and the rest is history!
Isn't that too sweet? Blane is pretty sweet too it seems, because according to Christa, he planned up the perfect birthday proposal atop of beautiful Mount Magazine.

When Christa scheduled their engagement session she mentioned that she might like to do a few pictures inside of a movie theater, and of course we LOVED the idea. We managed to pull a few strings and were able to shoot a few inside of Picwood Theater in Russellville, AR. (Big shout out to Picwood and John Austin for allowing us to photograph inside their theater in such short notice) . So glad it worked out because the photos turned out SUPER cute! :)
Christa you are absolutely GORGEOUS!
Blane is a coach at Western Yell, so of course we had to throw in some baseball ;)
Christa and Blane, we had so much fun with you guys and we cannot WAIT until your gorgeous wedding in October! It will be here before we know it!
Happy Happy Friday Eve Everyone!
