When Heather first came up with this concept shoot I knew the perfect couple that would fit the look that we were going for. Thiago is from Brazil and has the most beautiful accent you have ever heard and Ryan is a gorgeous girl from Dallas with a big heart and love for people. They were married in December 2009 and their newlywed love is written all over their faces. They made the PERFECT couple for this “Our First House” concept shoot.
Each day this week I will be posting a different scene from our session with Ryan and Thiago. Check back each day this week for more photos of these beautiful people. Enjoy the first of 5 posts from their shoot:

Lauren and Preston have such beautiful spirits. I left our session together totally blessed by them.They are both super artistic, open and kind. I loooved our time we spent on their engagement session and I especially loved all the art they brought to the shoot.

Lauren is an incredible artist and brought some of her art books and journals to the shoot to add some flava-flave.

Shannon and Chase were so trusting and gave us free reign with producing their engagement shoot. We started the shoot off at the greatest flower shop in Lakewood: Redenta’s Garden. If you live around the Lakewood area in Dallas, check them out for your gardening needs. Their shop is charming and idyllic. After Redenta’s, we headed to Corner Market on lower Greenville Avenue for some Coca Cola Classic & cupcake goodness. My amazing assistant, Heather, had the cupcake that is pictured specially made for Shannon and Chase from Society Bakery. It was a big hit! And gosh, I just love the last location! Finishing the shoot up at my favorite little spot at White Rock Lake is the best way to end an engagement shoot. We loved loved loved every minute of this shoot and the way these photos turned out! Cheers to you both, Shannon & Chase!
