When my little sister told me she was joining a sorority, I was terrified. I thought my sweet, innocent little sister would be tarnished forever, gain a group of snotty, rude sorority sisters, and I’d never see her again. True story. But instead, as I met her friends, one by one, each time I laugh at how crazy I was. The friends Amelia has made through her sorority are some of the sweetest, good-hearted friends she’s ever had. Case in point, the gorgeous Catalina :

Catalina has a big heart, an even bigger laugh, and her Mom is one of my favorite moms-of-a-bride ever.

Ryan is equally charming- If you close your eyes when he talks, he sounds just like Matthew McConaughey. :)

We shot their photos around charming Mt. Dora and found some fun nooks and crannies.

Sometimes Cata looks like she could be Penélope Cruz’s little sister. Case in point:

Favorite. :)

Yay surprise mirror shot! See you in April, guys!

Christy + Mike’s Engagement Session

The other week we got an inquiry from a bride-to-be who heard of us from someone sitting next to her at the nail salon. Who the heck would meet someone and in 10 minutes find out a stranger was engaged and talk us up enough to have said stranger contact us?! Either our Moms… or Kelly. Kelly is a dream bride and our biggest cheerleader ever. Seriously… I’m convinced she has pom poms that match our website and everything! We’re able to stay in business and live our dream because of brides like Kelly- Brides that not only send their bridesmaids to us once their engaged, but you know, total strangers they meet in nail salons. ;)

Kelly and Mike became parents for the first time a few months ago. You know, like parents. As in… “Mom, can I borrow $5,” and “Dad, I need the car.” I love seeing people I love holding little people they created, and that magic was no different with Kelly and Mike and Asher. (Seriously- How amazing is that name?)
