Engagement Photos | Big Hill Lake

Last weekend was a nice change of pace – I got to take engagement photos of my brother-in-law and future sister-in-law in Southeast Kansas. Big Hill Lake is beautiful this time of year, with the tall stone bridge, sparkling lake, and colorful fall leaves. And my subjects were pretty fun, too. Especially after they got used to that unnatural feeling of acting natural together while someone shoots photos of you. I love how these turned out…it was so hard to narrow them down!

Project 52 Week 25: An expensive weekend

This weekend we traveled to my in-laws’ to celebrate the 4th of July a little early. Holidays are ranked as follows in this family: #5: Birthdays. #4: Easter. #3: Thanksgiving. #2: Christmas. #1: 4th of July. In fact, we had our very own $600 fireworks display. My father-in-law says, “This is a man’s holiday. We get to drink beer, eat, and blow stuff up.” I hate to burst his bubble, but this female really likes the holiday too.

Since I was in the driver’s seat on the way to my in-laws’ Friday evening, I pulled over to snap a few photos of the sunset.

Another shot of a beautiful sunset in Southeast Kansas. The sun looked bigger than I’d ever seen before!

Nephew Caleb, very serious about shooting his bubble gun.

Niece Beth, acting a bit embarrassed about having her photo taken, but secretly loving it.
