I’ve NEVER been to an engagement party! And when I get to see faces I haven’t seen in years – it’s even better!!

I love that top shot – hair thrown back – a big laugh – childhood FREEDOM!!

THAT SWEET FACE!! THOSE CHEEKS!!

That last time I photographed her family – she wasn’t in it!

You KNOW how much I LOVE chubby babies – but did you know I also LOVE curly curls!?

She REALLY wanted to get OUT of that dress!!

Kristi messaged me about her upcoming engagement party – and was hoping I would be available! Thankfully – I was!

Their families and friends were gathered around – playing fun games – eating good food – drinking craft drinks. And a TOAST!

To the newly engaged couple!

“On behalf of Kristi & Patrick – thank you for coming to their engagement party! The question you get asked the most after you get engaged is – when are you getting married? DO YOU GUYS WANT TO GET MARRIED RIGHT NOW?!”

WHAT!! LET’S DO THIS!! SURPRISE!!

She’s got his ring READY!!

MARRIED!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT! Checking out his wedding ring!

Kristi had a special gift for Patrick’s daughters!

Kristi told me to just come and do my thing – cus she loves my thing. THIS IS MY THING!!

MOMENTS LIKE THESE!!

A change of clothes and a new necklace!! Today I tell your dad I do and I promise to love you forever too! BEAUTIFUL!!

I’ll post the rest of the afternoon tomorrow!!
