Happy Tuesday, friends! Today, we are so very excited to be sharing our sweet new friends’ engagement session with you all! Ahh! Katie and Nick met up with us in Springfield at Washington Park Botanical Garden this past Friday night, and it was so wonderful to finally get to meet these two in person after a few months of chatting via email! We actually chatted with these guys for the very first time the week we brought Oliver home back in October of last year, and this week, they are bringing home their very own puppy from the exact same place where we got Ollie! How fun is that?! I’m already SO excited to see pictures of their new little pup… it makes me smile just thinking about it now! 😉

Luke and I had the best time getting to know these two on Friday night at the botanical gardens. Spring finally decided to show up here in Illinois, so we finally had some green grass to work with, and we even managed to find one tree with some gorgeous blooms too… thank goodness! We’ll take it!! Katie and Nick, we had the best time with you two on Friday night and we are so thankful we get to be a part of this incredible season of your life together! We hope you absolutely adore this small sneak peek into some of our MANY favorite images from your session with us! We can’t wait to share the rest soon. Enjoy that puppy, you two!! 😉 Your October wedding better get here quickly… soak up every last second of your engagement!

Xoxo,
Caitlin and Luke
