people make me super happy sometimes.

by way of blog-reading and wedding planning, bryan and i met possibly one of the sweetest girls ever. shannon was looking to expand her photography portfolio and offered to take engagement pictures for free. i sent her an email and we planned to take pictures at riverbend environmental education center, and some at home with our pets (she also has a menagerie of animals). how amazing are these? and remember - this was one of her first engagement shoots.

amazing, right? now that is natural talent. she's also super hilarious and has amazing ideas for sets and props and locations. if you're in the philadelphia area and looking for engagement or wedding pictures, definitely send her a message.

but here's why i love her most - i was complaining (okay, freaking out) about the chance of rain on the 21st. i'm incredibly disappointed because we wanted to dinner outside in the garden. rain would completely ruined this idea. at one point during my self-pitying, i had tweeted "what i wouldn't do for a giant cookie right now" and a couple hours later, i see a response from shannon that says "I might have just ordered you a giant, heart-shaped Mrs. Fields choco chip cookie to have it delivered to yer place on Monday".

um, amazing. i adore her.
