Ah! Tanya and Joe are so adorable! We have been trying to schedule their engagement session for some time now, but Joe is doing his medical rotations and has been working out of state! He was transferred to San Antonio for a rotation so we were finally able to get them in front of my camera. And can I say, YAY!! They had me come out to their family’s ranch for their session and I LOVED IT! When I got there, Tanya came out looking gorgeous and Joe was shooting with a couple of his best men. How cool are they? They really were in their element and being at the ranch just hanging out with family is one of their favorite things to do. So it made sense to have it as the backdrop to their love story.

Tanya and Joe met through MySpace! (Which should give you an idea as to how long they’ve been together). They sent each other messages and JUST. CLICKED. They now have a beautiful baby girl and are trying the knot in January!

You guys, thank you so much for letting me capture this special moment in your life. It’s obvious that you guys are truly best friends and love each other beautifully. Can’t wait to celebrate with you in a few months as you start a new era! (f-r-i-e-n-d-s reference 😉)

Big hugs and lots of love

As we finished, we had this beautiful little visitor! He’s such a good boy! He was a bit shy and was ready to go home, which is why we got him by the truck.
