Stacey & Alex's Fun Bowling Alley Engagement (Plus a Puppy!)

The title is a little misleading as only part of this session is in the bowling alley, but the outdoor photos are equally as cute because Stacey and Alex are just darn adorable! Jack, their adorable dog, is so precious too. He jumped in a few photos with them and was a champ! The reason that Stacey and Alex wanted some photos in the bowling alley is because Alex's dad built and has run the Bowling and Skating Family Fun Center for the past 20 years. I love that they wanted to incorporate that into the shoot, and I am really pleased with the shots. We took them about an hour before opening so we had the place to ourselves.

We were dealing with about an 80% chance of rain in the forecast, and it was sprinkling when we got to the bowling alley. Luckily by the time we got done it had stopped, and we got some good photos outside at Alex's dad's house (which is BEAUTIFUL). The rain made the greens look so bright and vivid, so it wasn't all bad!

Jack in his spiffy shirt!

My favorite!

Now we just have a few more weeks until their wedding! It's going to be at one of my favorite venues too, The Opera House.

Garner Blue Spring 2015 - Indigo Dyed Handmade

My creative and talented friend Lisa deserves all the credit for this lovely spring shoot for Garner Blue, her line of indigo-dyed products. She gathered 4 of our gorgeous friends and styled each of them perfectly to model her pieces. She also picked out these cool locations around town, one of which featured an impromptu strip show from a random woman in the parking lot. It was such a fantastic afternoon with perfect warm weather and lots of laughter with friends. We even enjoyed some delicious pizza from Rock N Dough after the shoot (you NEED to go there if you're a Jacksonian).

If you like what you see, check out Jackson Pop-Up Shops, which Lisa organizes and sells her work in. The next one is coming up April 24-25! See you there?

I had a hard time narrowing these down, so I'll shut up and just let you get to lookin'

And some cutie pie behind-the-scenes action:

Beth, who couldn't find her brush, teasing her hair with a car ice brush/scraper. As Courtney called it: "The Big Tease" 

And Julia being Julia. It's hard not to have a good time with these girls! I'm so thankful to be a part of Garner Blue, even in this small capacity. I can't wait to see what else Lisa comes up with!
