Luke & Natalie

So I managed to step back in time and take this really cool picture of Natalie welcoming home her fiance, Luke, who is an Air National Guard pilot. Okay, not really, but still I did have fun taking engagement pictures for Natalie and Luke who really is a pilot.

My hubby went with me to second shoot and get me on base since he works out at the base with Luke. We had so much fun playing around the jets!

After having fun at the base and letting Luke get teased by only a few of the other guys out there that Saturday, we went to Woodward park for a few more "traditional" shots.

I have to say that Luke and Natalie are such a sweet romantic couple. Although this obviously wasn't the real proposal you wouldn't have guessed it by the constant smiles on their two faces!

I LOVE this picture.

Seriously, just look at those smiles! Beautiful!

In keeping things fair and becuase Luke & Natalie were such a fun couple to hang out with, we took some time to play at one of the playgrounds. Only fitting since Natalie is an elementary school teacher!

There are times when a photo session just goes perfectly. This was indeed one of those times! we stumbled across a lady setting up for a birthday party and just happened to have these fabulous balloons AND she was nice enough to let us borrow them. I'm really enjoying ballons in pictures these days!

Luke & Natalie, thanks again for such a fun morning! Please enjoy this preview and bear with me as I finish your session. we had so much fun that I'm having a hard time weeding through the massive amount of pictures!

Caleb

I've known Caleb's mom, Dawn, for a while now but never had the chance to hang out with Caleb. Caleb just turned 4 and is a boy that loves an adventure and loves to play. We met at Fresno State on a Friday evening to beat the heat and ended up with a lovely cooler evening session. We chased dragonflies, splashed in the sprinklers and played at the fountain. A perfect way to end the work week.

Just look at those eyes! Isn't he handsome?

I love the soulfull innocent look here.

I love the sweetness of childhood play. They find such pleasure is such simple things as splashing in puddles. If only something so simple could make everyone happy!

Four is such a curious age. Caleb was no exception. He was so sweet wanting to share his findings with his parents.

Seriously such a sweet face on such a sweet boy!

Dawn and Chuck, thanks for taking the stroll around FSU with me. I really enjoyed getting to hang out with you and Caleb.
