When Travis approached me to help get his girlfriend, Mindy, in front of my camera for a surprise proposal, I could not have been more excited (and honored!)  These two happen to be two of my very best friends and when you combine friends, photography, blingy things, and a few breakfast Bellinis  …  well, it just couldn’t be more perfect of a combination.

Mindy, herself, is an avid photography fiend and so when I asked her to help me location-scout for my new venture, she was completely on-board.  After plans A & B fell through in surprising her due to conditions out of our control, we finally agreed to allow our guys to join us for a little photo adventure where we planned to down some mimosas and enjoy Decatur Square just outside of Atlanta.  After lunch, we made our way away from the restaurant and stumbled upon the most perfect railroad tracks for a surprise proposal.  Travis, being the best friend that he is, was so great to “go along” with my plea to get some test shots in, and soon I had both of them right where I wanted them – in my camera frame and ready to catch a monumental moment in both of their lives.

I was as surprised as Mindy when Travis eagerly pulled the ring out in the middle of my first pose, but even with shaky hands and misty eyes, I captured some beautiful shots for them that I hope they will cherish forever.

Congrats to Travis and Mindy.  Thank you so much for including me (Travis!) and for obliging (Mindy)!  I look forward to many more “sessions” with the two of you!
