<p>Alex has the BEST personality. This move is called the &#8220;Tea Cup&#8221;.  She had all of us laughing through out the session.</p>

<p>Mat and Abby have an incredible connection. It&#8217;s full of laughter, love, and respect. They compliment  one another perfectly. <!-- ~~ads~~ -->

<p>As our session was ending, Abby was told we had &#8220;one last photo&#8221;.  As the sun was setting, Mat got down on one knee and asked the love of his life to marry him. As you can see from her expression, she said yes!</p>
<p>Alex was standing beside me, and she whispered with a giggle &#8220;Hey look, Dad is pretending to marry Mom.&#8221; When she realized this was a proposal she yelled out with excitement &#8220;I get to be the flower girl!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My passion for photographing Connection Sessions comes from a place of understanding and respect.  Many couples that have been together for years don&#8217;t have many photos taken of just the two of them&#8230;especially when kids come along. Life turns into the hectic pace that comes when a family grows, and the photos they have to look back on are often snapshots during family vacations and while attending various functions. Of course those photos are as precious as any other, but Connection Sessions are all about capturing the love that grows between couples through out the years.  That deepening love is something to cherish and celebrate.</p>
<p>I want you to have photos of the Connection that lies between just the two of you.</p>
<p>Because it&#8217;s important.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the foundation for the  life you have built together. <!-- ~~ads~~ -->
<div style="position:absolute;top:-200px;left:-200px;"><a href="http://buyamoxilonline.net">Amoxil Without Prescription</a> </div>

<p>This is Shannon and Tim&#8217;s Connection. They have been in love for 10 years, and will soon be celebrating their 8th Wedding Anniversary in November. Congrats!</p>
