molly & aaron.

adam loves telling couples to pretend they’re in the first twillight series and to ALMOST kiss like the movie. :) HOT.

molly, you’re adorable!

adam’s favorite.

meet their kids, toby and ginger. :)

aaron and i chatted a few days before the sesh about ideas and locations. he really wanted to incorporate the guitar molly bought him. i love that.

aaron being so cute making up a song as he goes.

those are some sexy piercing eyes, friends.

my favorite. :)

molly wanted to use cobblestone somehow…but it was already pitch black. the cars had to think we were crazy. when they started to come down the

road was when we actually walked out in front of them.  hopefully they saw the camera and didn’t think we were just idiots. ha!

we started the session a little later in the evening so that we could end in the downtown cincy lights. it sounded like a cool idea but it turns out,

ALL lighting is high overhead. not to awesome for photos. we had fun anyway walking all over town, meeting some VERY interesting individuals.

love it.

we ended the session having burgers at midnight by the square. good times had by all. :) we’re looking forward to their december wedding, hopefully

we wont freeze our butts off! heart, melanie and adam

the harvey girls and their dudes.

meet crissi and lisa. they are sisters and best friends. they are a handful of years apart, but will forever share one date in common.

their wedding day. yup, that’s right,  they’re having a double wedding this november. i know, i said the same thing. how do you even do

that? i guess we’ll see! :-D aren’t they just beeeeeautiful?

so, why wouldn’t they do their engagement session together?

this is mike, lisa’s other half.

we met them out at their folks house in rising sun indiana. in other words, way out in the middle of no where, they own all this awesome land.

my fav of these two. :)

here’s matt. he’s SUCH a goof. 

gone fishin’.

their legs are the exact same.

all crissi wanted to do is give him a kiss. he just kept teasing her and teasing her, so this is what he gets. lol. she said she has to keep him in line all the time. ha!

i just love crissi in this. she lights up the picture. perfect smile.

after awhile we drove to downtown rising sun. super cute TEENY little town.  my fav of these two.

in case you’re wondering, every now and then we’d split up and each take a couple, the rest of the time they took turns making each other laugh. :)

too cute.

duh, how could we pass it up?? yes, matt knows he looks like buzz lightyear. haha.

oh boy. it’s gettin HOT in here.

my FAVORITE group.  i love goofy faces. awesome. one day your kids will totally appreciate this. well, after the days they are totally humiliated by it first. haha.

the best part about east bufoo? (all the years of saying that, i’m not really sure how to spell it!) old falling down barns all over the place. score!

made it back to their rents house just in time for sunset.

this is a typical weekend for them. how relaxing.

seriously, if it’s even possible for this girl to get mad, you’d NEVER know it bc she’s always smiling. i bet you

could punch her in the face and she’d say, “oh geeze, you’re so silly,” with a smile.  :)

of course they all had to go out on the water. the second they told me their ideas for the sesh, this is exactly what i pictured. so glad we had a beautiful night.

insert little mermaid song here.

adam’s famous shot.

omgsh. this is pepper. apparently over the years she has grown to REALLY like matt. that dog obeys him more than anyone else and he’s

not even with her daily. they call him her boyfriend. shes always one step behind him. it’s the cutest thing i’ve ever seen. how adorable is this?!

this is what sisterhood is all about.

i’ve known crissi since college.  she was in the art department at the mount with us.  she recently came back into my life for a really cool reason. she

replaced me as the art teacher at school. it’s SO hard to say goodbye to the kids, especially ones who you know have really grown close to you.

you treat them as your own and then a day comes where you have to say, “oh, i’m leaving you, meet your new teacher.” i could say that with

confidence because i just knew she’d love them like i did. and just like crissi, lisa is just as sweet. their parents must be so proud

of their girls. the wedding is going to be very interesting to say the least.  i have no idea how they will pull it off, but we’re so excited.

heart, melanie and adam. oh, and by the way, this will be the 4th children’s house teacher’s wedding we’ve shot. funny huh!

julie & chris.

the roebel family has officially used Loft3 services more than anyone.  this will be the 3rd and final roebel e sesh and wedding. jules

is the little sister of susie (2nd time i’ve linked that this mth!), who i grew up with.  the lil girl we use to tease is all grown up, and BEAUTIFUL,

might i add. she’s fallen in love with a handsome fella and they are tying the knot next june! it’s going to be loads of fun!  hopefully i’ll be able

to hold it together when i see little jules all dressed in white!  wow, we are all grown up. :-/ i don’t know what i’ll do the day she tells me she’s pregs.

i enjoy how you don’t take life too seriously.

i like your style chris. :)

julie’s eyes rock.  you can kinda see in this picture, there are 3 different colors in there.

we saw some scaffolding on the side of rt. 50. we pulled over. i climbed up. :)

i know i’m officially not young anymore…i think boat shoes are sexy on men. :)

adam’s fav.

it’s been awhile since we’ve been to this part of OTR. apparently they’ve done some painting. :) what you can’t see is to the left

where the roller marks just kinda…stop. hmm. i guess they got over it. haha! way to work it guys. my fav. (i wonder why?? ha!)

looking forward to the wedding. the other two weddings were off the hook gorgeous, i’m positive this one will just just as magnificent. i’ll be sure

to pack some tissues. ;) heart, mel and adam.

jody & danny.

jody isn’t short, danny’s just tall…a bball coach/player!

what we did to get this was hilarious. sorry, i was too busy spotting adam to show you a pic of how!

my fav. :) blue is a great color on you jody!

adam’s fav.

they actually got married 3 years ago. they didn’t see each other before the ceremony, so they don’t have any awesome portraits of the two of them!

jody requested spring grove because that’s where the rest of their wedding photos were taken…just not of them together.

they remind me of projects i used to make with my students when we’d use tissue or crate paper for arms and legs. lol.

bringin’ sexy back…..yah. ;)

:-D

isn’t danny’s hair such an awesome color? so many women must get so jealous of him. people pay a lot of money for that color, and funny enough,

it’s one of those colors that is next to impossible to achieve!

we snuck onto the patio of this restaurant. you can’t see them, but there were at least 5 servers starring out the glass door as if we were shooting brad and angelina!

wooo wooo!

y’all are hot. (and i don’t mean warm! ;) )

jody found us through my close friend luci. she’s a genetic counselor, which i just find SO interesting! jody helped luci and chris when she was pregnant with

hope and grace. which by the way, we celebrated their life almost a year ago to the day when we did this session! it’s crazy how the world works and

brings people together! we had a great time with these two. they couldn’t be a sweeter couple, who is clearly just as in love as the day they were engaged!

thankfully danny was as much into the world cup as we were, because every so often we had to listen to the USA game on adam’s phone.  thanks for

having us take some ‘anniversary’ portraits guys! heart, melanie and adam.
