It’s Thursday, and it’s hot and kinda rainy. But what better way to start the “almost weekend” than by a sweet engagement shoot in Arlington!?

I actually really enjoy shooting at Arlington square! It appeals to the country side of me, and there is a gorgeous sunset that peaks through the trees. It just feels like summer there, which is my FAVORITE time of year! Anyways, let me introduce you to Allison and Ryan! I love these two! I actually went to high school with Allison back in the day, wooowoo, Go STARS! Yeaaaa. I can’t wait for her and Ryan’s wedding in March! 🙂

So before we start, I just want to hit on this ONE more time the importance of having an engagement session before your wedding. Being in front of the camera makes people feel awkward. “What do I do with my hands?????!!!!!!” #amiright

And if you’re not used to it, it can be scary. You worry about this not working or looking right, or maybe you’re going to look goofy. I’m here to tell you that that is not the case! When you are being YOU and lovin’ on your man or lady, it’s not going to look awkward. Because it’s you – the real you. And who you are as a couple is perfect in my eyes. So having an engagement shoot is kinda like getting your hair cut for the very. first. time. It won’t hurt; I promise.
