Hank & Kelley

Hank and Kelley. Finally!  I say "finally" with a grin across my face because it took us a few weeks to coordinate and reschedule after a few mishaps, including mother nature, and an incident with the ring. You can't do an engagement shoot without the ring, right? Right! (Don't worry Hank, I won't share with the blogging world...)  Importantly, we were able to finally meet and make it all happen!  The weather cooperated quite nicely despite the scorching heat.  At least they aren't getting married in August! Who on earth would do a thing like that in Florida?  Oh wait...me! (But that's an entirely different blog)

Hank and Kelley are the cute couple that you can't help but swoon over.  Hank looks adoringly at Kelley--she warmly giggles in return, and it's a picturesque moment every time.  Their love is so exposed and organic and...well, refreshing to see.  As it sometimes is for outdoor photography, the wind was a force that fought with us at times.  Us women do not like our hair in our faces, ESPECIALLY in photos.  I made a comment about possibly pinning back Kelley's hair and before the sentence left my lips Hank produced a Bobby Pin out of his shirt pocket for her.  Turns out, he keeps them in there for when she may need them.  It's honestly one of the sweetest gestures I think I've ever seen! What other man would do that???

There were lots of laughs that went around, Kelley managed to lose her flip-flop in the water (Hank to the rescue!), we had fun with Sharpies, and even the mayor stopped by for a quick "hello."  Unfortunately, we failed to pass along a business card to the mayor.  It's quite possible he may desire our skills at some point and we lost the moment! I guess we could use the excuse that we were too "engaged" in our adorable couple to have even thought about promoting ourselves, but I'd be lying. The thought crossed our minds a little too late.
(So if you happen to be reading this, Mr. Vandergrift, keep us in mind!)
