On New Year’s Day, I took pictures of a couple of my favorite people. Stephanie, my best friend, and her boyfriend Daniel. They looked like engagement photos, but really, I just wanted to have a photo shoot that involved cute outfits and glitter.

Daniel proposed to Steph good old Harry Potter-esque style. I had heard the details of how it was going to go down, but when Steph told me the official story, I cried a lot. Nothing’s more romantic than Harry Potter. Really.

Conveniently, the timing of their engagement lined up perfectly with my illustrated timeline of their lives together :)

Right after they became engaged, I went on a trip to the redwoods with Steph and our lovely friend Ashley who also just got engaged!

I’ll post some pictures of the trip tomorrow! It was so relaxing. A great way to begin the summer.
