Justin and Stephanie in Philadelphia (Engagement)

It seems like so long ago...a sunny, 64 degree day at the tail-end of March (especially when a few more flurries are so fresh in our minds), but trust me, it was sunny.  It was 64 degrees.  And it was a BEAUTIFUL day for an engagement session last Saturday.

Meet Justin and Steph.  Two of the cutest little love-birds you'll ever meet.  Here's a little snippet from one of our planning emails to help give you an idea of what I'm talking about:

"I'm going to try to explain this the best I can…Stephanie to me is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.  Why?  Because she can pull off any look.  She can be in PJ's in the morning, cowgirl boots and jeans, standing in the mud fishing in the afternoon and then she can wear a princess dress in the evening and every single moment, I still look at her completely speechless."

I mean, seriously?!  What woman doesn't want to have that effect on her man?

Oh, but when you look at Stephanie, it's almost as if you can see love beams shooting straight out of her eyeballs every time Justin comes near.  Yep, these two have the stuff dreams are made of!  And as we explored the areas in and around the Art Museum, I had a front row seat to exactly what makes their love special.

With that said, please enjoy a few of my favorites from their gloriously golden sunset session in Philadelphia!

Adventure is out there.


New journals.  There’s something pretty exciting about an unbroken spine and one hundred empty white pages.  There’s always so much hope in new, fresh, clean things.  The same goes for the journal.  But if you are one of those people who have trouble putting your pen to that first page, trust me- you’re not alone.  The need to write that initial “profound something” always seems to weigh heavy on my shoulders.  Opening the cover and writing about a mediocre day would never do.  I’m a little embarrassed to say that I remember my teenage years when I’d address this little book as if it were a living, breathing new best-friend.

“Hi there!  I’m your new owner, Aaren!”

I find myself in that same spot with this electronic  piece of paper.  If you’ve ever had a dream, I trust that you’ll understand when I say that this blog, this website is a dream come true.  Over two years in the making, through blood, sweat and tears- it lives!  And I have to tell you, I’m beyond excited for what this “bit of earth” will hold within its pages for you all in 2014.  So, let’s just go there, shall we?

“Hi there!  I’m Aaren.  I’m SO GLAD you’re here!”


Adventure is out there, and I cannot wait to embark on this journey with you. :)
