Kara and Zach: Engaged

May 29, 2009

When Kara asked me to do an engagement session for her and her brand spankin’ new fiance’, Zach, I just new it would be full of pure awesome-ness!  Kara is a product designer by day and an artist and jewelry designer by night (I own a pair of her earrings and am pretty sure they’re my favorites ever… Check out her etsy site here and blog here).   Zach, on the other hand, is just about finished with school to become a hair God (judging by Kara and Zach’s hair, he’s well on his way!)  When we first discussed the session, Kara mentioned she had a few props she wanted to work in, namely a pink velvet chair and tin knight (as in the shining armor kind).  Did I mention the awesome-ness yet?  Seriously, this girl is after my own heart!   We met at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis and Kara and Zach didn’t disappoint, arriving with a car stuffed full of props and looking even more lovely than usual (must have been the hair).  We spent the evening exploring forests, pathways and quaking bogs with props and camera in tow – awesome.  :)  Thanks K+Z for such a fun shoot, let me know when you want to go again!!

I did an engagement session with the super cute, rock-star couple Kara and Zach this past weekend.  Full post to be up soon, but until then, here’s a teaser!

Carla and Alex are a ridiculously fun couple… seriously, you know that song, “smiling, happy people”?  Carla always has  a smile on her face (okay, ALMOST always) and Alex keeps her laughing all the way to the bank… or, in their case, all the way to the alter!  C+A are originally from Michigan, but moved here after college for their careers (and we couldn’t be happier about it!)  so asked me to shoot some engagement photos before they make the trek home to get hitched in August.  We met at Mill Ruins Park in Minneapolis, not far from their very 1st Minnesota apartment, and tooled around the area to get some fun landmarks and landscapes shots that reflect their new life in the big MN.  Congrats Carla and Alex – your wedding is going to be fantastic!  I’d expect nothing less from such a fabulous couple. (aren’t they fabulous?!)
