When I asked Kami and Chris about some of their expectations for their engagement experience they both looked at each other  and with a giggle in their voices they simultaneously said, “We just want to make the blog!”  haha  Let me take this opportunity to introduce you to Miss Kami and her awesome fiancé Chris.  Kami actually “makes the blog” every day.  If you’ve ever read through the comments section on each post, you’ll see Kami’s name.  Kami is so precious.  She is a huge fan of photography (in fact, Chris proposed by taking a picture of her engagement ring and let her find it by scrolling through her images on her Nikon D60!).  She’s been a constant support to me over the years.  You should’ve seen the smile on my face when Kami called to see if her and Chris’ wedding date was available, informing me that she was engaged.  This girl sees wedding and engagement pictures every day and is constantly commenting on her favorites, and like the rest of us girls, envisioning herself in them.  You have no idea how thrilled I am to finally give Kami her own portraits to cherish.

We started the day in Kami’s hometown: Towner, Colorado — a teeny, tiny little place with a population of 40. It is located way out east just miles from the Kansas border.  To begin, we shot in Kami’s home church which is about the size of my little home. :)  It was important for her to get some shots in that church since she won’t be having her ceremony there on account of its size.

I was so infatuated with this little mirror.  I took a million shots with it.

Kami’s favorite stained glass window:

Isn’t she just so serene?

After the church, we ventured to this little, old, abandoned house that I just FELL IN LOVE with!  Okay, so the inside shots aren’t the most beautiful, but wait until you see the exterior.

It’s like straight from a movie, huh?

Look at the wild vines that took over the house, growing out of the ceiling!

These are some of my favorite favorites. :)

Kinda wish I was her in this picture.  I love it so much!

Chris is such a great guy for Kami.  He has such a soft, witty personality and this thirst for knowledge that is just so attractive:

Plus he’s a really classy dresser. ;)

After the sweet, abandoned house we did some athletic shots.  Kami and Chris are huge *cough cough* Cowboys fans.  I know.. ignorance is bliss.  I was envisioning Broncos jerseys the whole time I was shooting. :)

The light was so good to us.  I spent the day shooting with Kami’s family and high school senior brother and kept telling Kami and Chris, “Just wait, just wait.  The best is yet to come.  The light will be worth the wait.”

Kami and Chris, tell me it was worth the wait!

During the final minutes of the evening, we headed out to the Colorado plains.

LOVE these!! Kami you’re so beautiful! These shots are so you, 100% you.  So soft and sweet.

Chris and Kami opted for a two day engagement shoot.  Their urban session is in the works!  Stay tuned. :)
