The days are getting shorter, and the sun is setting earlier. It can be challenging, but the light always makes for some beautiful pictures! Especially when we can do a sunset Stumpy Lake session with a gorgeous couple!

Brooke and Alex have a love story that started in High School, and then blossomed into a lifelong romance.

As we were trekking around the woods together, I got to learn a little about them and capture a piece of their love story.

We started out trying to include the couples sweet pup Frankie in some of the photos… but he had different ideas.

That little guy was so adorable, but he was NOT interested in posing for the camera.

After a snapping a few pictures, we handed Frankie off to his dog-grandma, and then settled into the session.

Get to know these two lovebirds on today’s blog!
