hey friends, i'm katelyn

have seen these two before! If you don’t recognize them, let me refresh your memory! Kevin emailed me way back in the spring and asked if he could setup a coaching session for his girlfriend, Erika. I normally don’t do this just because I don’t have extra days for more coaching but I said ok because there was something really special about this coaching session…. he was going to propose during it!!! It went perfectly and Michael and I absolutely loved getting to know these two during that amazing day here in Richmond! Who knew that saying yes to one email would result in such a fun experience and new friendships!

Driving to State College, I felt like we were going to visit some old friends. We met Kevin and Erika at the CRACK of dawn on campus. We had just shot a wedding the night before in West Virginia and State College was only 3 hours away and so we made it happen! I warned Erika that I may be half asleep but to be honest, after going through their images, maybe I should shoot half asleep more often! ha! I think we did pretty well for 3 hours of sleep and achy bodies! I’m so thankful they were willing to do this early morning shoot because after we were done and we started heading to my sister’s place, I felt so accomplished! We shot two weddings and an engagement session AND visit my sister in a matter of 3 days…. and those events were all in different states!  So before we get to the pictures I have to thank my wonderful husband for making that whole weekend possible. He drove hundreds of miles so that I could work from the passenger seat and that’s how we get stuff done! Now I also have to thank Kevin’s parents for tagging along and holding on to Lilie during the shoot! Just wait until you see her! She’s precious and despite her energy and enthusiasm, she can be quite photogenic!!

So enjoy this shoot! I have so many favorites and I’m a new fan of Penn State. I had never been to State College until last Monday and so I feel like not only did  Michael and I cover a great distance, we saw new places too! Kevin and Erika thank you for sacrificing sleep on your labor day!!! We love ya and we can’t wait until next summer!!!

We shot these around the arboretum and we had the place to ourselves!  Love this:) Could they be more good looking?? Probably not. And then there was Erika’s ring… so photogenic!!!  Love this! We have to hold Bokeh that same way! If his back feet are free, he freaks out!  Love it! Michael was holding this bloom! haha It was quite a sight watching me take this! Get it girl!
The next two are very similar… but I posted them both because I don’t know which I like better… and it’s my blog so I can do what I want :)  Isn’t this an awesome place?!
Awwww  Love this little spot!  Another favorite!  We may have risked our lives for this one but it was worth it:)  And a few Jersey shots… How cute is that?! Probably one of my all time favorite “jersey” shots. You guys look amazing!
