A little backstory

This is my second year to take Shauna & Travis’ fall photos and I couldn’t be more honored! I’ve know Shauna for… years. I don’t remember when we met, but we went to the same school since childhood! I do, however, remember dressing up for halloween parties at her house, meeting for pictures before prom, and bringing her along on my family ski vacation. Last week, Shauna sent over a photo from high school and reminded me of how darn cool we were… we prepared a “classy” dinner at my parents’ house where we got all dolled up, cooked Cornish hens (how is this fancy?!), and had sparkling grape juice. We were such crazy kids back in the day! 

Shauna & Travis

I can’t tell you exactly when Shauna met Travis (sorry!), but I can absolutely tell you their anniversary… it’s precisely three weeks before my husband and I got married! And while we don’t see each other nearly often enough, it’s nice to catch up each year as we stroll around taking pictures. I absolutely love that they always include their pups! Penny hasn’t quite warmed up to me, but Heidi and I are BFFs. This year’s session at Mercer Botanic Gardens took place on a beautiful evening surrounded by gorgeous gardens and winding walkways!
