Staci and Jim - engagement

jim told me, right to my face, that "i was crazy". my reply to him was "yes, yes i am." how can i not be with such a great gift before me?


jim and staci are one hell of a nice, nice couple. jim loves staci and staci loves that jim loves her. isn't that funny? i had so much fun on their engagement session that i forgot that i was there for them. ha! karen and i met jim at our bridal show in ventura a few weeks back and immediately took a liking to him and what he was looking for his bride to be.


after our initial meeting he wanted us to meet with him and his fiance, staci. after our meeting we all came away excited that the celebration was ON! at first jim and staci hadn't given a second thought to an engagement shoot because...they were already engaged for awhile.


so... i reminded them that this is an especially awesome time in their relationship that they need to celebrate the bringing together of their two families and announce out loud to all to hear that they are ENGAGED. isn't that cool?!


anyway, when i showed up for the engagement session they were ready to celebrate in their own special way...toasting with their favorite wine, making each other laugh, showing me around their beautiful home and..........going for a sunset run in the hills. WOW! how much fun did we have. jim and staci took me up to their favorite site to run and it was SPECTACULAR! during the shoot all i kept hearing was them laughing. laughing at me and how much i was blown away with how beautiful the session was turning out to be just by being PRESENT.


after the photo of jim and staci on the rock (the very rock that jim proposed to staci by the way) we headed off for our 10k run.


two words... FAN .....TASTIC!
