Most Inspiring of 2013

We continue the series “Best of 2013” with todays posting “Most Inspiring of 2013”. A year ago, I was approached by Craig and Erica to do a series of engagement sessions to showcase them in each season. We live in the perfect area where the seasons have so much personality! I fell in love with this idea!!! What a beautiful way to celebrate love with Gods surroundings of every season! So the seasonal engagements started with spring and it seemed like it was only a week after the session before we discussed the following seasonal session … this made time FLY!

Here are some of my favorites from each season! Enjoy!!!
