Engaged: Suzanne & Paul: Vermont

I met Suzanne by pure chance. It was during my stint at the local Farmer's Market this past summer. I had put weeks of thought into the design of my booth and how I wanted things to be displayed. And then another few weeks into the actual implementation of the display doors and table decorations. And of course a good few solid days choosing the images I would have representing North Photography to the public! And then what happened...it rained. Actually, it poured. Devin and I set up in the rain and then the roof started leaking on my canvas prints, so we had to put plastic up. And it was muddy and cold and the prospects of seeing anyone at the market that day were pretty slim. Then the rain stopped! And the sun peeked through. And that is when Suzanne walked into my life (or actually my booth) with a smile and beautiful glow. :)

Just like magic.

And speaking of magic, Suzanne and her fiancé Paul, live in a truly magical place.

Where it is just beautiful!

And everyone is happy there. :)

And in love :)

And the leaves are tie-dyed!

And the trees are made of gold.

And doggies smile on command...

And look the other way during private kissy moments. :)

And families sit together and relax.

And there are faeries!

Did I mention the faeries?! Because they were there in the magical forest!

And lovely people are everywhere.

And it is just beautiful.

I am so happy Suzanne walked into my booth that day, because my life has just become more wonderful with her and Paul in it now!

Engaged: Eileen & Tim: Burlington, VT

I am very lucky in my career in that I get to meet some wonderful people along my journey. And Eileen and Tim were no exception. Another fabulous couple that I am pleased to know and photograph!

For the past couple years they called New York City their home. It is the city were they met and fell in love. Now in search of something a little quieter, they have moved their life and kitties to beautiful Vermont. With a big love for life, one another and good beer, I do believe that Vermont is very please to have them here. :) Their wedding is coming up faster than WHOA! and they have a great day planned that I am looking forward to sharing with you all! In the meantime, enjoy my favorites from their recent engaged session. xo Kaht

'Bahahaha! Kathleen, she is so funny.' At least, that is what I remember them saying... :)



Funny story: while taking this image, a rough and tumble fella came up and hovered over my shoulder. I did not really notice except that Tim and Eileen were looking just beyond me and kind of had funny looks on their faces. I turned around and there this guy was! He stared at us a second and then asked what was the time. That's it. Heh.



Having just moved from NYC, we did not think it appropriate to plop them in a field of flowers. Downtown Burlington provided a nice intermediate urban feel :)

*love*



I wished for a chess set to appear out of thin air, but instead Tim turned on the sweetness.



Eileen, thank you for being so darn cute!

She's pointing those kisses at Tim. Not random folks on the street :)



Tim, bring this adorable smile and look with you to the wedding please! It works well :)





A little sass to end the session makes it a great day!

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 :)
