I always have my couples fill out a getting to know you sheet before we do any of their sessions as a way to dig a little bit deeper into who they are separately and together. These are so fun to get back and read. Some are quiet and share minimal details where others pour their hearts into these forms and I feel like I have watched their love progress! Normally, I incorporate a few fun details into their post as I talk about how the shoot went and so on. I decided that I’m going to do things a bit differently and share what they had to say in their own words. What better way to share who they are than allowing them to speak themselves!
Brian and Erin are in our eGroup for church and we have been blessed to know them. Brian keeps you laughing non-stop and Erin has such a tender heart and cares so much for others. These two haven’t had their pictures taken since they were married a few years ago and they won this session through my last give away! Meet Brian & Erin!
