We met up with Lara & David bright and early last Monday morning for a sweet little engagement session in Fort Worth. This couple is currently dealing with the pain of a long distance relationship… a pain that Mack and I know all too well. At least Lara knows that by the end of August, she’ll be living in California with the love of her life. That countdown makes all the phone calls worth it!
David left pretty much immediately from our session to head to the airport and fly home, and probably won’t see his sweetheart again until the wedding. So this precious couple was extra snuggly during their portraits… definitely soaking up their time together!








We saw this little guy during our session, and had to take a quick picture of him. If we hadn’t been racing against the rising sun, I SO would have stopped to play with him.![]()



Isn’t Lara’s engagement ring just stunning? David designed it for her himself, and I’ve never seen anything like it. GORGEOUS!





Aw, so sweet! We had such a lovely morning with you, Lara & David. We hope these pictures help you feel closer over the next two months… and then, you won’t have to be apart anymore!![]()
