{A Fall Engagement Session at The Mansion and The Perky Parrot}

Cassidy and Grant’s engagement session was the perfect reflection of who they are as a couple…stylish, joyful, and full of personality! From the very beginning, Cassidy’s vision had me so excited!! Every stop along the way offered something different, yet together, told the sweetest story of this season in their lives and who they are as a couple.

We began at The Mansion, a stunning Victorian-style home with a wide white wrap-around porch, turned luxury spa. It was the dreamiest backdrop for timeless portraits that felt so elegant. I loved how the space set the tone for the rest of the session…classic, but with a touch of charm.

From there, we shifted into something completely different and so fun…a stop at The Perky Parrot. With its high-end bar setting and perfectly crafted drinks (an espresso martini for Cassidy and an old fashioned for Grant), the atmosphere was chic and such a vibe. I loved how this part of the session brought out their playful side while still feeling elevated and sophisticated. After finishing up inside, we ventured out to the back patio to take advantage of the black wall and palm leaves which gives a little foretaste of what their wedding day atmosphere will look like.

We wrapped up the evening on Grant’s family farm, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect ending. With the casual fall outfits, golden light, and their sweet pup Hank trotting alongside them, this part of the session felt warm, cozy, and authentic. I could clearly see them fully at ease here…just enjoying being together in a place that means so much to them.

And while every photo from their session radiates joy and love, I think what makes Cassidy and Grant’s story even sweeter is how it all began. These two first met at a high school after-prom party, where Cassidy asked Grant to her prom. His answer? A very unexpected no! Luckily, time has a way of writing the best stories, and now here they are…planning forever together.

What I adore most about Cassidy and Grant is how seamlessly they can move between elegance and laid-back fun, bringing the same joy and love into every setting. Their session truly embodied everything I envision for a CBS couple…timeless, meaningful, and uniquely their own. Cassidy and Grant, you two are such a delight! Thank you for trusting me with this sweet season of your story and inviting me into such meaningful places to capture it all. I’m beyond grateful our paths crossed, and it was such a joy to document your love in a way that feels so authentically you! I cannot wait to celebrate your wedding day and continue witnessing the beautiful life you’re building together!!
