Dan and Jackie- A Manassas Battlefield Engagement Session

If you've never been to Elizabethtown College (aka E-Town), it's a SMALL school. There are under 2,500 undergrads. Yes, it's THAT SMALL. It is actually SMALLER than my high school! With a school that size you pretty much know everyone.During my Freshmen year, I met Dan. We had some classes together, and we seemed to hang out with the same hooligans. Sometime during Dan's college experience, he met Jackie. For a while, they would find "reasons" to spend time together. They'd go to the library and attempt to work on things for class, but nothing ever seemed to get accomplished. After a lot of awkward moments, they FINALLY started dating. Then last September, Dan proposed to Jackie on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. Dan and Jackie decided they wanted to travel to the Virginia area for their engagement shoot. Dan, Jackie, my Voice Activated Lightstand (Rich Kessler), and I went into Old Town Manassas and then to Manassas Battlefield. We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. We seemed to luck out with the thunder storms, and it only rained while we were driving between locations. Jackie and Dan- I CANNOT WAIT for your wedding this September! It's going to be great spending the day with the two of you! And a HUGE thank you to Rich for helping me navigate and rocking the lights!

Current Favorites

I am sick this week and have absolutely no voice. Luckily today, there is nothing I need to do that requires one. So while my photos export and get backed up, I've decided to do another post about some of my current favorites.

*NEW SHOES- I feel like this is EVERY girl's favorite thing ever. I've desperately needed new running shoes, and these bad boys definitely fit my personality.

 

*Cooking- I've discovered that I love cooking in the last few months. I'm constantly trying out new things in the kitchen, and Pinterest always seems to have interesting recipes that are begging me to try. My current favorite thing to make? Guacamole.

*Being by the water- I don't know what it is about the ocean. Every time I'm near it, I feel at home, and I can't get enough. Maybe it is my Portuguese ancestry talking to me? Possibly.

*VSCOFilm- I started out only doing film photography. I would spend hours upon hours in the darkroom. Sometime in 2006, I started going all digital. A part of me really misses the look and feel of film. Visual Supply Company's film presets have finally brought that feel back into my photography, and I'm in love. If you take ton's of iPhone photos and want that same film look, check out Visual Supply Company's VSCOCam.

*Photo from Kerri and Jake's Avalon New Jersey Wedding. Blog post can be seen here. Edited with VSCOFilm's presets for Lightroom 4.
