We photographed Jackie and Micah's engagement session on Thursday. They were here from California for Christmas break to spend the holidays with Jackie's parents in Glenwood Springs. Jackie is finishing up her last year as a music major at Biola University in La Mirada, CA. Micah had just returned to La Mirada from spending time in Washington D.C. working on his Political Science degree.

We hadn't actually even met either of them until they came to our house on Thursday. Jackie had found out about us through her Mom, Linda, who teaches at Nicholas' school and drives the van that he rides to and from school. So we sewed up the deal through email and over the phone, and we finally got to meet each other in person! What an adorable couple. Seriously. They have the greatest chemistry together. It was an absolute joy to spend time photographing them. And we had the perfect December weather for the shoot - a beautiful snowfall. Jackie and Micah were troopers - they did most of the shoot without coats on. They just huddled close to stay warm, and we got some great stuff! We gave them a little direction, and turned them loose. They were great together. It is so fun to see two people so in love. We are super excited about photographing their wedding next summer.

Thanks, Jackie and Micah. You guys are great!
