Engagement Session with Rachel and Jacob






Summer got off to a rough start for me this year.  I had to have surgery on my shoulder and was down for quite some time.  In order to keep myself busy with picture taking while I recovered, I spent some time watching out the window at the birds coming to my bird feeder.  When I started feeling better I started taking pictures of our feathered friends!  There will be another day for that blog post!

Anyway, it was good that I had the surgery when I did because my daughter Rachel got engaged to a wonderful young man.  I was pretty well recovered from the surgery and ready to get to work taking some pictures.  She of course is one of my favorite subjects to photography.

Rachel and Jacob are doing well and are very happy together.  My husband and I could not be any happier for them.  Even though the wedding has past I wanted to post some of my favorite pictures from their engagement session.

Enjoy!
