Fall Engagement at Umstead Park in Raleigh with Steve & Taylor

Fall in the Triangle means the changing of leaves, the introduction of pumpkin spice at the indie coffee shops and of course my calendar completely exploding with engagement sessions. When Steve reached out to me I was shocked. I had been following Steve for years, an excellent and unique tattoo artist in the Triangle if you're looking for new ink, but I had never set up an appointment (because my schedule is bananas). So when I saw his name pop up in my inbox I was like WHOA! So cool!

Steve and Taylor are engaged and having a small, intimate ceremony on Halloween in their backyard so they knew they wanted to get some photos together with them and their amazing dog Ichabod. (Yes from Sleepy Hollow)

Apprehensive about taking photos (would you believe that most of my clients say they are camera shy before our meeting) we just walked around, getting to know one another, trying to figure out how me and Taylor knew each other (it was a show at Motorco where we started chatting one night) I was able to capture these fall photos for them!

I can’t wait to see all that’s in store for them, and to finally one day have Steve tattoo me.

Til then, these photos will live on here.
