Meet Kristen and Kyle! Both are IU alumni so obviously they are amazing. Kristen and I had classes together back in the day so I was thrilled when she contacted me about shooting her engagement session.

We could not have picked a more perfect day as far as winter sessions go. With the brutally cold winter we’ve been having the thought of being outside for more than a few minutes is hard. We waited a couple of weeks in hopes of a warm up and got so lucky that the day we choose was in the 50’s! Thankfully we’ve had so much snow that the ground was still covered, but we didn’t have to bundle up near as much as normal.

They chose Prairie Wolf Dog Park in Lake Forest for their session. Since their two dogs, Cash and Paisley, won’t be present on the wedding day they wanted to include them in the engagement photos and this is their favorite spot to take them to play. It was a perfect little hidden gem with open areas for the dogs to run and trails into the trees that had barely been touched from the last snow.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day!
