The Nelson | Engagement + Family | Laura + Jason

Once upon a time I shot “the best day ever” wedding (Bethany & Steven) and met the “Best Bridesmaid ever” (Laura)…who has fallen in love and is getting married to Jason and I suspect will be giving Bethany and Steven some competition for that “best day ever” wedding title.   Jason and Laura made this “Best cutie-pie ever” child (Harlow) and the “luckiest photographer ever” (MEEEEEE) got to photograph them.

This little face!

One of my favorite things about the current generations is Dads.  I don’t know if I’m just getting old or remembering it different, but it just seems like Dads today have really stepped up their game on being involved with their kids and adding to their list of duties.  Take for instance Jason…observe his improvised hair styling skills for his daughter.   ….and then, check out his finished work of art….and then, check out Laura fixing his work of art. HAHA  Hey…mad props to all Dads who at least put forth the effort.  Jason styled Harlow’s hair better than I style my own most days.  Oh, hello.  I’m just gonna hide behind this leaf.Every kid’s favGuiltily…this was my favorite part of the session.  Anyone who has experienced this Glass Maze might know why.Good Advice.If you have been to the Nelson and stopped by this interactive experience…this is pretty much how you have to walk through it.  Are we terrible people that we could not stop laughing because Harlow would smack face-first into the glass?  Maybe…but it was hella funny.  Even Jason had a couple close calls…had to start walking like this…hahaI <3 them!…and also this little Monkey…with strong upper-body strength that makes me so jealous!This little Diva was Done.  20 sec naptimeI’m pretty sure I’ve said it more than once somewhere for the world to read on social media or an old blog post…but Laura is just infectious.  Her smile.  Her laugh.  When I grow up, I want to be Laura.  🙂Jason…you lucky man!LOVE THIS PICTURE!  I can’t pick a favorite…but this one is high on the list!I’m pretty much the most obsessed person with bloopers than I know.  I had to include this picture…I have no idea what was being said….so let’s play the game “Caption This”.Cannot. Wait. for the wedding!!!!!

Oh…and there’s a short Part 2 to Laura and Jess’s engagement…coming soon.
