MEET Kristen

A few weeks ago, I met Kayla and Mike for their engagement session. The couple met while sitting around a friends bonfire and Mike caught Kayla’s eye. He asked one of his friends for Kayla’s phone number and the following week they went on their first date!

I loved getting to know Kayla and Mike more during their session. We all grew up in the small hometown in New Prague and have had many paths cross like Kayla’s mom and my mom working together, Mike’s sister and myself playing on a softball team together, and I am pretty sure I may have babysat Kayla once.  It has been fun looking back on all these memories and now sharing one of the biggest days of their lives together next year!!!

Congrats Kayla and Mike I can’t wait for your big day!
