Esessed

Am I becoming obsessed with this engagement session?  I believe that planning can be a great way to make a good thing great!  Might as well take the time and pick the best location, outfit, hair, makeup, etc. if I have the time.

Here's one that is gorgeous!

Ann Taylor engagement sess inspiration

I love pretty much all Ann Taylor advertising campaigns, and think the current Fall 2011 ads are gorgeous and perfect inspiration for my engagement session.

I found those shots on FabSugar.  Then it led me to these beautiful dresses by the H&M Conscious Collection.

And my dress...

Want one of J&L like this! But there is also something kind of creepy about it.

Love this!  Wish I could buy it, but it is on a sew-it-yourself tutorial.

It is fall.  The air is crisp, but the sun still shines a warmth over the changing trees.  Here are some pictures that I like, that are helping me plan a possible engagement session.
