Melissa, Dustin....... & Copper ~ An Engagement Session!

What an awesome family (yes, I am saying family - Copper IS definitely Melissa & Dustin's child) I was able to photograph yesterday! 

I do not think I ever looked up from my camera to see them not smiling or laughing.  Their love and happiness was super infectious and just made ME feel so relaxed (um, isn't suppose to be the other way around?! lol) and so excited for our next shoot; their wedding!   

Not only are they photogenic, but, they are super sweet.  At our first meeting, our conversation included them telling me about the oh so special position they have taken on as foster parents to puppies and dogs in need.  You can basically see their hearts beaming through their eyes, my first thought was "oh no, Melissa is NEVER going to be able to let the dogs go to another home!"  So, one of my first questions when we met was if they still had their foster dog....... and good news... it is now in a new home!  
Good job Melissa, I am proud of you! 

Thank you so much again to Melissa, Dustin, & Copper for a wonderful shoot.  I can't wait to see all of that love you have to give to each other exchanged at your wedding! 

Here are a few of my favorite shots.  It was so hard keeping it to just one or two... ok, ok, so, there is 5!  But, once you see this gorgeous couple, you will see why it was so hard to decide!!  

My absolute favorite of the session ~ Melissa is going to make such a beautiful bride!   
And, of course, Dustin will be looking great in his tux!!


This was Melissa's idea.  Copper was such a good sport.  Look at that tail!  Hehe.


Umm, yep, this pose is not gonna work!  Lol - all Copper wanted to do was play!!


So cute!  And, look at that ring!

Melissa is just stunning.  This was right after I made them try a 
super cheesy pose... and look at that smile, she was still happy!  


I wanted to end this blog with a special link... please help Melissa and Dustin spread the word about being a foster parent to a special puppy or dog that needs you!!
