engagements 
Alicia and Scott… where do I begin? I had barely returned home from their engagement experience and I had a thank you card waiting in my mailbox. Listen to their hearts:
“René:
I don’t know where to even start… [I know the feeling!] Thank you SO much for all that you – coming to Fort Collins, hanging out with us, getting to know us and our hearts, sharing your heart with us… I could go on and on. You told us that you wanted the experience to be what sets you apart — you totally did it. Scott really had a blast doing the engagement photos – like he can’t stop talking about them and is excited to see them. I am in disbelief, really, at how much FUN he had!
We both really enjoyed our time with you and that you made our pictures our own and alowed us to just be ourselves and goof around. You’re just incredible and you have such a heart for this. We can’t wait for the wedding and to see what you and Jesie can do. Thanks again for the wonderful day and all the memories we made, and just for being YOU!
Love, Scott and Alicia (and Izzy :-)”
Sometimes describing these engagement sessions is tough. The depth of the people with whom I interact can just blow me away. Sometimes they can describe the shoot better than I can.
Scott and Alicia, THANK YOU. You two are such an inspiration and an encouragement to me! What a blessing. I can hardly wait for October.
With love,
René
Okay warm up time is over… this is where it gets GOOD!
I dig those reflections!
Ugh, love this!
Okay, this is where it REALLY gets good!
This is Izzy. :-D
Alicia, my dear, you are a knock out.
SIMPLY STUNNING.
I heart this! A lot. Even if it looks like the scene before the tornado hits Dorothy’s house.
Okay, that stunning thing we were talking about?! The cool thing about Alicia is she doesn’t KNOW she’s stunning!
She’s one of those sweet, innocent girls. :-)
Oh, Scott! You are the bomb dot com. This guy picked our location… great taste, brother!
