Engaged: Katelyn & Ian: Montpelier, Vermont

In a universe that is so large and full of such joy and sorrow, it always makes me smile when I meet a couple who have created their own world by combining their separate lives. It is a world of their own that centers around their love for one another and for their family. Where every star is a wish waiting to be made and every day is an adventure waiting to be had. Despite what the great universe might tumble their way, they stand strong in the life they have created for themselves and continue to strengthen it with each moment.

Katelyn and Ian will marry in less than a month and I am really happy that I will be there to witness and capture the day that their world becomes just that much more beautiful. We met up last week for a fun little session that took place at a playground. Their adorable little girl, Aubrey, had a great time running around with her grandmother, while we took advantage of the unique location and nice light. Enjoy some of my favorite images from the afternoon and look for their wedding on the blog in September! xo Kaht

Katelyn was not sure if she could pull off "sassy". I think she did just that, perfectly :)





Katelyn denies having ever been a model. I am not so sure though! Such a beautiful smile :)

Ian denied any former modeling as well... :)





Aubrey came over to show us a stick collection she was working on. So sweet!

Can you see the love? Can you?

*love*



Gorgeous! Ian was a fabulous coach in getting Katelyn's true smile to come out. :)





Love a little fun and sass!

Bling!

Off to the playground!

Sandbox sweetie!



Just an adorable family. :)
PS Thank you Grandma Diane for coming along and helping out with Aubrey! We really appreciated it :)

Shauni & Gerren's Chilly Capital City E-Session

It was a beautiful brisk day when I met up with Shauni and Gerren. These two wonderful people go way back in my life. Like...waaaaay back. They knew me at the epitome of my geekdom: permed hair, red frame glasses (with NO lenses!) and year-round flip flops. I was smooooth folks. So when Shauni contacted me with the great news of their engagement, I did a little dance and reminisced the good old days. Oh how far we have come!

On a quick trip home to Vermont for the holidays (they currently live in CA!) we met up, sipped hot drinks at Capital Grounds in Montpelier, talked about the past, present and future and took some photos. Their wedding is next September and I am SOOO looking forward to it! Their ideas sound positively awesome :)

So grab a hot drink, sit back and enjoy some lovely photos. xo Kaht




Such beautiful smiles!







Shauni, you are beautiful! End of story.





When the bitter wind became too much we popped into the Capital Plaza Hotel to warm up by the fire. The staff was so kind to allow us to sit a few minutes! Thank you :)





*FUN*





I love a couple who is willing to be a little silly :) Thank you S&G!! xoxo
*Engagement Story* Dave Matthews Band music has a bit of a history for Shauni and Gerren, going back to the early days of High School when Shauni borrowed the CD from Gerren. So when Gerren decided to pop the question, he gave Shauni a Dave Matthews Band CD case. She was a little confused at first because "We already have this CD..." but he encouraged her to open the case and the ring was inside. I LOVE engagement stories!

So enjoy their slideshow put to some special music :)
