Jesse + Casey | sneak peek

Engagement

18.08.2008

Second time was the charm in our case. Last Sunday, Casey and Jesse’s engagement session got rained out.. so we had to reschedule. Luckily the weather was BEAUTIFUL today! It was perfect.

Jesse is a crop duster so first thing we did was venture out to the airport to get some shots of them by one of his planes. Sorry I am not up on all the airplane terminology SO… we are going to call them.. RED plane and GREEN plane.. rather than their “correct” names. All I know is that the RED plane is very nice.. TOO nice to just keep out with the GREEN plane. SO he keeps it in it’s own little airplane hanger. (That is the only “term” I knew during the whole session, so I HAD to bring it up in this post.) After the airport, we drove out to Jesse’s hometown and Casey’s SOON to be home, of big ol’ Honeygrove, Texas! We spent some time on the square and then out to where he keeps his GREEN plane.

We got a LOT of shots…. so many that I haven’t even gotten them all uploaded from my disc! But I did pick out a couple to edit just to put up a sneak peek post! So enjoy! :)

Krista: Great shoot! I love the first shot... very retro cool! (18.08.08, 01:07AM)
Dawn Quibodeaux: Great Job Tara! (18.08.08, 07:03PM)
Jessica: I totally think I have those boots there at the end. These are awesome and what an ADORABLE couple! (21.08.08, 02:46PM)

Crystal and Bronson’s engagement session was possibly my favorite of all time. It was so much fun and we had some awesome places to shoot at. They were both up for anything and even though, like most guys, Bronson wasn’t thrilled about having his picture taken… he was a trooper through out 3 hour shoot at 3 different locations!! I can’t wait until the wedding in October! :)

Here are a few of my faves from their session!

One of my favorites!!!

OUR version of “The farmer and his wife.” We didn’t have a pitch fork.. but we had a rake!

LOVE this one!!!

Another favorite!!

Their “child,” Chloe

Jenny Hodges: OMG...I absolutely LOVE the one of her holding onto his leg. It is fabulous! You are a fantastic photographer. Mom saw them and loved them too! (05.08.08, 10:01PM)
