Kale & Angela : 5 Years

I am so honored to have been able to take Angela and Kale's anniversary pictures every year that they've been married! Here are links to their 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, and 4 year pictures.
Like they did last year, Kale and Angela came to visit us in Atlanta! We love having them come, and it works out nicely to do their session while they're here. Now they can't ever NOT come in October... ha! :) We had a gorgeous evening - and the park we went to even had these awesome stick numbers hanging from a branch! I laughed until my sides hurt, but we managed to get a few good shots. ;)

Happy 5th Anniversary, you two!

Joshua & Erin : 10 years

Joshua and Erin are some dear dear friends. Erin and I have known each other literally our entire lives. I remember when these two met, got engaged, and got married. It's SO hard to believe it's been 10 years! :) I loved being able to do a quick session with Joshua and Erin while I was visiting in Kansas this month. They are easy to photograph - they sweetly interact so naturally. It was fun to catch up with them and we had a beautiful evening for their session!

Happy 10 years, Joshua & Erin!

Angela & Kale : 4 years

With the move, I was afraid I wouldn't get to do this session. It had become a tradition! I looked forward to this session every year - and when Angela and Kale (our next door neighbors and dear friends in KS) told us they were coming to visit us in Atlanta, I KNEW we had to make this happen. The timing was perfect, as they had just celebrated their 4-year anniversary. :) Kale was super stoked that I asked them to hike a bit for these photos - he just loves the outdoors. :) We had a beautiful evening and my family tagged along, too! I love taking photos of these two because they constantly make each other laugh - which means I get shots of genuine smiles and true joy. These two were made for each other... some might even say they go together like chips & salsa. ;)

Here are a few of my favorites from their session!

Angela & Kale : 3 years

It's that time of year again! My friends (and neighbors) celebrated 3 years of marriage this month! Since I took their one-year pictures and their two-year pictures, they might have just felt obligated to use me again, but I was honored. ;) I forget how stinking hilarious they are. Kale LOVES having pictures taken (and by loves I mean loathes). Angela is a great sport. My cheeks are hurting by the end of each session with them because I laugh the entire time. Kale braved ants, mosquitoes, and nature in general... and we got some cute shots. :) Angela and Kale, you two are absolutely perfect together and I am thankful for our friendship. Congrats on 3 years! Kale, you get ice cream for behaving pretty well.

Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

Angela & Kale : 2 years

Happy cotton anniversary to Angela and Kale!  Apparently it's been a year since I took their first year anniversary pics!  Crazy.  I love Angela's idea of taking a picture with a framed picture from the previous year. We had a gorgeous day... and I tell ya, these two make me laugh more than anyone else on a shoot. :)

Happy Anniversary, you two!  Here are a few of my favorites from your session!

Angela & Kale : 1 year

Not only are Kale and Angela friends of mine, but they happen to be my next door neighbors!  Okay, so we were neighbors first, then friends. :) They celebrated their first wedding anniversary this month.  I absolutely love the idea of taking pictures each year and wish I had done that from the beginning!  Angela had the great idea of taking a picture WITH a picture from their wedding.  What a fun tradition to start!  We had a beautiful evening yesterday and had so much fun!  I love how Kale makes Angela laugh.  Thanks to their silliness (as you'll see) we got some great shots. :)

Thanks for having me take your pics - and happy anniversary!
