Engagement Sessions = super fun!

A few months ago, I ran a contest on my Facebook page.  The idea was to get couples who were newly engaged in on the fun.  I had participants send me a photo of themselves with their partner and added them to an album.  They were then to share their photo with family and friends.  The photo with the most likes would win a free engagement session.

The couples really got into it and the response was great!!  Our winner was announced and we picked a date and place.  I was SO excited, as was the couple who won.

Flash forward a few months (work schedules, weather etc) and we were off to Perry Farm park in Bourbonnais.   The weather was gorgeous, sun shining and all.  There's a few trails that lead to the river, so we decided to take a walk and capture some amazing images.

This area is so beautiful but further down the path there's much more!  We even had a little furry friend to help us out on our journey.

Meet Nicole, Mike & Coop.  Sitting near the Kankakee river on an old wooden rail.

Cooper was the most adorable little thing ever.  He was super tired from our hike but was a trooper!  His humans absolutely adore him and it wouldn't have been the same without him there.

Love this one, the heart symbolizing their love.  The caves here are fantastic!

We got a lot of great shots during our time.  Mike's mom was also there, who was a great help!!  She came up with a bunch of ideas for poses that I didn't even think of.  Like these below:

He asked....

She said yes!!!

These were taken in the prairie of Perry Farm park in Bourbonnais. 

There are a ton of images that I haven't shared with the world because I'd be here all day.  All in all, this was one of my favorite outdoor sessions to date.  Mike, Nicole, Coop and Mom, thank you for letting me capture these moments.  It was an honor.
