Kenny and KK || Clearwater Beach Engagement

A couple of months ago, I road tripped up to Chicago with my friends to attend the Legacy conference. Our friendships grew (and were tested during the 48 hours of driving) and through the teaching, getting lost on the L, and attending the concerts, I was so encouraged. The last night, the guys told the girls that Kenny was going to propose to KK during the concert when his friend was performing and another friend of ours used my camera to capture it all. 

Fast forward to this past Sunday and we met up at Clearwater Beach to shoot their engagement pictures! Though we didn't have a lot of time, and the sky was trying to rain on/electrocute us with lightning, I love the photos we were able to get!

Love you guys!

Keye, Jen, Ella and Rex: Love

I've known this family since before there was Ella. I met Ella when I came home from college and she was a tiny baby with the cutest face. They moved away and Jen got deployed to Afghanistan when Ella was only a year old, and I read Keye's hilarious blog about surviving as a military husband. I saw them reunited (over Facebook of course) and later stalked pictures of their new little cutie, Rex. Then two weeks ago they came to my house and I said "Hi Rex!" and he looked at my coyly, smiled, ran over and held his arms out to me to be held and then cuddled up for about a minute before he ran off to the next person. 

Then we took pictures.
