Because instead of SPRING….we are having SNOW, WINTER weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But on the bright side….Tessa at Utah Bride & Groom magazine thought it appropriate to feature Meagan & Nate’s uniquely way cool engagement session we shot in the snow with their snowmobiles!

The one word that describes this couple…..ADVENTUROUS & Adventure……that’s what we did! 

WAHOOOO….I can’t even tell you how much FUN I had with these 2.  I got to ride my very first ride in a VW van…..Jocie drove it….while Cam followed us in his truck.  I felt like Jocie & I were on OUR own adventure…hahahahaha!!!!!! 

When you can just be free, play, not think, laugh & simply have FUN….you can get some amazing imagination going :-)

We met at our singles ward in Standord, CA.  Carlos & his bestfriend, Mace, sat behind my friends & I at church & they were both singing hymns pretty funny.  I kept turning around to see who they were.  I knew they were new because it was my first time seeing them.  Ever since that day we all just hit it off & became great friends.

I had the pleasure a few days ago to hang out with Brittney, Carlos & their CUTE lil baby Stone.  We had such a great time running around to locations, playing with Stone, laughing & simply having a WONDERFUL time!  Also thanks to Brittney’s sister, Hannah for tagging along & keeping Stone entertained when he wasn’t in the shot. 

The weather was absolutely gorgeous.  Such a perfect day!!!!!
