{Anyone can slay a dragon, he told me, but waking up every morning & loving the world all over again. That's what makes a real hero.} Story People

Soooo in love with these two! I haven't seen Erin for years - we grew up on the same street in Monona. We had lots of fun running back and forth between our houses - back in the day. Now, with her wedding coming up later this year - we had the chance to reconnect for an engagement session. So much has happened between then and now - she was in the Air Force for 8 years! Can I get an Amen?! What an incredible accomplishment! She met her fiancé in the Air Force, too. So cool to be in the presence of true heros on all accounts. Now, both of them are moving forward from the Air Force + are super excited about it!

For as serious as the Air Force is - these two are hilarious. I think I said something to the extent of "Please tell me if you think I'm asking you to pose weird..." to which they both confided that this was the most serious they have been in a while. From there - we had lots of laughs, silliness, and even some time to bench press humans on a ledge in front of the Capitol. (THEIR IDEA NOT MINE! ... Although, once I found out it was an option ... I totally pushed it!) Can not WAIT to see these two beautiful hero's tie the knot! xoxo
