carly and jason - an engagement story

meet carly. this girl is one of my best friends. we met each other my second semester at longwood. turns out, before we transferred to longwood we had both gone to richard bland too and had probably passed each other on the sidewalk to class. small world.

i am so glad to have met this girl and very blessed to have her as my friend. i couldn't be more happy for her and jason. jason graduated from VT in the spring and carly will be graduating from longwood this december. he popped the question at the end of this summer on a date in d.c. after graduation, jason was hired to work around the d.c. area. while exploring the new terrain on one of their dates, carly was admiring the scenery and turned back to jason to share her enthusiasm when she saw him on one knee asking her to spend the rest of her life with him. beautiful! i must say, i was very thrilled to receive a text from her with a picture of her finger's latest accessory. ahhh i love these guys.

without further adieu, i am happy to share her and jason's engagement pictures with you. enjoy! :)

these two are always giggling about something. i remember taking pictures of these two when we went on a mission trip in NYC. they always knew how to make each other laugh. came in perfect for this session.

so cute! carly is finishing up her schooling to be a teacher. she will be amazing! check out her arts 'n' crafts skills!

carly and jason's engagement post. until that day, here's a little teaser to bring ya back:

the green goddess: kara o.

oh kara. where do i begin? i've known this girl since the end of the summer. i started working at the preschool with her. she works with me in the afternoons. lucky girl! her entire senior year only consists of morning classes. she is such a beautiful girl inside and out. you would never know that she is only 17 years old! she is definitely wise beyond her years.

kara wanted to do a photo shoot that embodied her fully and she believed that shooting in richmond was the best option. she told me she spent many afternoons driving around RVA, getting lost and finding new places to explore. here are some of her favorite places and few new ones we found! ;)

this was so cool. we spotted the moped when we were walking around and luckily the guy, who was about to speed away on it, let us snap a few shots.

perfect timing. we were able to get a moving train in the background.

i am in love with all the green in this photo shoot. it compliments kara so well.

can you say "model?"

the wind was definitely on our side that day.

this was one of kara's favorites. so richmond. so artsy.

so many cool places. i'm lovin' these doors/archways.

it wouldn't be downtown without the bars on the windows haha.

gorgeous.

so photogenic.

i could have taken pictures of her all day.

the perfect model.

the scenery is beautiful, yet cannot compare with kara.

the scarf was a perfect addition to the shoot. she told me her sister gave it to her as a gift. it looked pretty and brought out kara's gorgeous eyes!

this is ONE of my personal favorites. she looks like a covergirl model.

we had so many great additions to the shoot. hellllooooo mustang! :)

that's right. we found a random chain and worked it into the photo shoot. i think it looks GREAT!

EYES. that's all i can say.
