Josh & Sarah | Engagement | 6.25.11

For a while now, we have watched some of our favorite lifestyle photographers incorporate into their sessions a variety of props which reflect a little about their clients. We like that! It’s fun! Fun for them. Fun for the photographer.

Sometimes though, it's hard to get people to do out of ordinary things.  We have the idea it’s all about ... "look at the camera and say cheese." With that said, you won’t believe what going into the little antique store up on Main Street triggered! Jill and I hadn’t been in there two minutes until we saw this stack of old books. What could be more perfect for two teachers! [Poor Sarah and Josh had no clue what they were in for!] Along with the books, we added (of course) blonde brownies - sorry about the chocolate Sarah - plus our version of strawberry lemonade, and a little table right out there in the middle of what once was known as Iris Hill. For those of you who enjoy history (we do), THIS is Daniel Boone country! Don't imagine he ever saw anything like this. :)

Making the choices for this blog post was really tough! 

We had to include several of these in front of this old church.   

  

This one is at the top of our list to be a favorite image!

The weather was predicted as rain. ALL DAY. As in thunderstorms and even hail. So thankful that the clouds scattered, and with it came blue skies! Love the reflection!

A note from [our Mom] ...
Dear Sarah and Josh,
At times, I will pick up some of the various pictures Jill has in frames sitting on a little stand near her bed. One recently caught my attention with this title ... “UC Family Group ‘09."   Sarah, YOU were in the group with those girls!  As I looked at that picture and then I looked at these, I realize once again how quickly moments pass that will never come again. And that’s what makes these next ones so precious. Love each other deeply. Before you know it, tomorrow is today, and today is yesterday.   - Carole

School's out! Summer break!  Except, there's the matter of some unfinished homework.

I feel extraordinarily blessed to be asked to share in the upcoming wedding day of Josh and Sarah in ...
