Cañon City Engagement: Tally & Matt

Is it really only Tuesday? This week seems to be crawling by at a snail’s pace. I guess a great weekend at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta will do that to a girl. Whatever. Press on, huh? That’s exactly what I’m doing by updating my blog like crazy-crazy. I’m not sure what crazy-crazy actually is, but I do know it’s good. Lots of crazy-good blogs. Oh yes. And to kick off all my crazy shooting the last few weeks, I’m here to share with you the sweetest couple ever: Tally and Matt.
Seriously, I don’t know how I get SO DARN LUCKY! I really do have the best clients. I am so blessed with clients who find me, totally jive with my philosophy, and as a result we’re not only clients, but lifers. BFF’s if you will. I have the feeling that Tally and Matt will be one of those couples who are around for not only engagement and wedding pictures, but maternity and baby shots as well with lots of dinners and drinks in between. Though, not while she’s prego, cause that’s bad news. I digress… Really only Tuesday, huh?
Anywho, it is my pleasure to share with you the gorgeous little Tally and her handsome fiancé, Matt. These two are actually from Colorado Springs, but were diggin’ the idea of the River Walk in my hometown of Cañon City. Hometown photoshoot? Sure! Love shooting in CC! Okay, get ready, these two are too good to be true.
You’d never know it, but this shot stinks. No, not how you think. That tree was producing the yuckiest smelling sap I have ever smelt. haha We only did like three shots by this tree before I apologized profusely for making them deal with such stench.
Okay, we’re gettin’ warmed up. This is kinda cool.
1… 2… 3… Jump!
Boys will be boys…
LOVE this one… Love.
Okay, so check this out. Tally’s engagement ring is actually Matt’s finger print!!
Love these leaves!
Could be one of my faves from the whole shoot.
Off to the Diary we go. Yes. The milk dairy. Major shout out to my girl, Ali, also friend from kindergarten for letting us shoot at her family’s dairy!
Ow! Ow! Tally, I hope you know how gorgeous you are. Shizzam!
Hehe I love this guy. #230. ;-)
Tally’s idea! Love when our brides come prepared to a shoot with ideas, little props, painted toenails, and super cute boots!
Ugh… LOVE!
Okay, these could be my favorites… Matt, you get it, buddy!
Time to head to my favorite dining establishment, The Owl, for some of their famous burgers and shakes!
Wait, this sultry one could be my fave…
The end! Tally and Matt… is it October 1st yet? I can hardly wait to photography you two again. Love you! Hopefully we’ll bump into you at church again soon. ;-)

My dear Tally,
I am not on facebook much, so glad I got to see these amazing photos of two wonderful people. I am filled with joy at the news!! and think back to the time you were in the Purpose bible study class, and we were praying for the Lord to bring His man to you….look’s like that prayer is answered. Many blessings dear sister, and brother, the photos are beautiful. Lisa Kindermann

I’ve been looking through them so I could write my favorite but I can’t decide! They’re all gorgeous. Tally’s ring is AWESOME! Where do you get something like that done!?!
Tally girl… I wish the photos had numbers so I could tell you which are my top 10. I totally love the ones with your legs around Matt on the hay bales (that sounds way dirtier than I wanted it to :o) The sun setting between the two of you kissing… the cow pen behind the two of you sitting on the ground… You wearing plaid with his arm wrapped around you and over your shoulder… And the two of you gazing into your future while you’re next to the stinky tree :) I love all of them!! What a fantastic photographer to catch all the excitement and emotion of your sweet sweet relationship :) xo Sarah
