In the words of the great Bob Dylan, 'I feel a change comin' on...'
That is, I feel a change in our business. Our photography. Our goals. Our focus. Change is definitely coming; exciting, nerve-racking, forward-moving change.

Now that I've succeeded in being completely illusive, obscure, and dramatic (which probably left you thinking, "what the crap?"), let's get on with the actual purpose of this post.
Larissa and Justin met at a business conference; he was a rep from Florida, she from Colorado. Justin convinced Larissa to make the move to the sunny state, and a romance began. 3 years later, Justin and Larissa decided to make it official - they'll be getting married at beautiful Casa Feliz next month. :)
Their engagement session (which took place in downtown Winter Park) is one of my all-time favorites. So much so that I wasn't able to narrow down the number of photos to create an appropriate "sneak peek." Therefore, the session will be broken into two parts so I can adequately portray the awesomeness that is Larissa and Justin. :)
In the short time that we were able to spend with this couple, we learned that they are down-to-earth, funny, approachable , and completely compatible. They allowed Ben and I to give creative input (no matter how weird it seemed :)), and were comfortable with themselves, their relationship, and our cameras from the start. The moments captured were filled with real emotions and affection. And as photographers, we couldn't ask for anything more fabulous than that. :)
Larissa and Justin, we truly had a blast with you guys - thanks for making our job super easy. We can't wait to see you next month!
Here's a few gazillion from the day:
So sweet. :)
These next two make me smile.
Larissa is ridiculously gorgeous.
This is the product of that sometimes weird creative input I was talking about. L.O.V.E. it. :)
These next 3 are definitely some of my favorite shots ever. That brown door has a piece of my heart.
Could they be more photogenic? Really?
This last shot is quirkiness to the extreme and I could not love it anymore. It's my absolute favorite from the day.
(*Part 2 will be coming soon!)
