Fun, warm, relaxed and creative photojournalism with a touch of art!

When I say “scream” I really mean it! Of course you could also substitute that with squeal,yowl, yip, or shout for joy! The cause? Last Sunday’s engagement session! With the onset of warm weather the session was a celebration of all things spring! From picnics to ice-cream trucks, you know Punxsutawney Phil {the groundhog} was right when he didn’t see his shadow!

The endearing duo who captivated us with their beaming smiles and infectious laughter was Jillian & Mike {J’s happens to be the editor behind an uber distinctive blog “Pretty Little Weddings“}. The couple has been together for 8 years and are counting down the days till their June wedding!

There is so much fresh air packed into these images you might as well us them as a “scratch n’ sniff”. Breath deep and get ready to fall in love!
