Lebanon Hills Park Engagement Photography | Katelyn & Ethan

Katelyn and Ethan meet through various lunches with mutual friends at Marantha Baptist University! It took some smooth moves but Ethan eventually asked for Katelyn's number.  After talking and getting to know each other Ethan came to realize that he was enjoying his time with Katelyn more and more. He chalks it up to witchcraft! 

 During their last Christmas break, Ethan was visiting Katelyn. Not only would they be celebrating Katelyn's Birthday (Dec. 31st) but also their 1 year anniversary! (Jan.1st) Between Christmas and new years Riverside Park in La crosse, WI annually hosts a large Christmas display. Due to Katelyn's strong love of Christmas lights, they decided they would go on her birthday! In the warm glow of twinkle lights, they walked around reminiscing over their favorite parts of the year. As midnight approached they made their way over to the light house display ( Katelyn loves lighthouses). The clock was just about to welcome a new year, when Ethan got down on one knee and asked Katelyn to marry him. Katelyn said "he timed it just right so he could tell people he had to wait until the next year for his answer!"  She of course said yes!

They are looking forward to a fall wedding this year! Until then please enjoy Katelyn and Ethan's sun soaked engagement session at Lebanon Hills Regional Park!!!

This Is What 25 Looks Like

Today, I turned 25; Lily on How I Met Your Mother on her birthday is exactly how i feel about birthdays!  Although many women my age are freaking out about aging, It doesn't really bothered me. As I have gotten older, married and living on our own, my personal freedom has grown; becoming an adult has been the best time of my life!

Here are some of my favorite moments on the 24th year of my life: seeing and photographing two of my best friends weddings as well as my eldest sister's wedding, my husband dancing with me to our favorite song in public (literally one of the most romantic moments I have ever experienced, I swooned), meeting SO many different creatives in the twin cities area, making my photography an official official business, watching and finishing Parks and Rec for the first time with Marcus, watching my dad finally hit his goal and retire, buying my first car, trips to Glendale, Charleston, Atlanta, Greenville.

It has been a beautiful year, but I can now rent a car without it being such a headache!(im coming for you dodge charger)
