I've been a bad photographer, neglecting my blog... What better way to get back in the swing of things than by sharing a romantic engagement session? When Whitney contacted just a few months after a photo session with her serious boyfriend and said, "Nate wants to get pictures taken again.... Weird I know the guy wants it" I have to admit my first thought was, "He's gonna propose!" but I kept my intuition to myself. While I'm getting messages from Whitney, Nate starts messaging me as well to let me know Whitney is going to schedule photos but he's got a bigger plan in mind and I'm not to say a word. I kept my promise, but Whitney is a friend and it was hard keeping quiet! Nate said he wanted to propose in the middle of the shoot to get a real view of her expressions. I had a big role to play to keep the suspense in the photos without giving away our game until the perfect moment! I don't know if Nate was nervous, he played it so cool, but I sure was! Watch and see!

We decided to meet at the beautiful Grand Falls in Joplin, Missouri. 

I decided that I could get a nice view of him getting out the ring behind her. I just told her I was getting a focused picture of her with him blurred out in the background which I told Nate beforehand. She didn't know he was getting out the ring behind her!
