JANE & ALEX are engaged!!

until someone comes along 

and gives it meaning."

"Will you marry me?"

Jane is from Ghana. 

She and Alex met at Brigham Young University

(in Provo, Utah). 
Alex's mother asked me to do engagement photo's, 

as a surprise for Jane's Birthday.
She told me that Alex was going to propose 

the night before. But! Much to my surprise, he 
saved the proposal to do during the photo shoot!! 

Talk about a FUN surprise!! 

For me AND for Jane!! 

For part of the shoot Alex is 

wearing a traditional African shirt.

I had SO MUCH FUN getting to know these two.

I'm thankful they have crossed my path in life and, 

I wish them all the happiness they deserve!

They have a great future ahead of them. 

P.S. Jane did her hair BY HERSELF.

 (and ... she tells me that Alex even knows how 

to do corn-rows now too because, she taught him!)

She said "YES"!!!!

KIERSTEN

"A true photograph need not be explained, 

nor can it be contained in words." 

~ Ansel Adams ~

 Kiersten was an absolute JOY to photograph ... probably one of my favorites, so far!!

She's a natural in front of the camera and my camera loved her.  It also helped that her mother

was acting as my "assistant" so, it was fun to see them interact together and, therefore, I was lucky

to get some really cute shots of Kiersten laughing or smiling that I might not have otherwise captured.

I feel certain that I was able to capture this girls sweet, soft personality in my images.

THANKS for the delightful time girl!! Let's do it again, soon!!
