For Tara and Julian's engagement session, they wanted a variety between the natural outdoors and uptown.  Fortunately here in Charlotte, we have that luxury all in one spot!  We headed over to Freedom Park just outside of Uptown for the first portion of our session.  Tara and Julian were picture perfect and so much fun.  It was a hot day, but we had so much fun that I hardly noticed.

Then it was off to uptown.  We toured around and snapped some really neat shots.  The weather and light were working in our favor and there were so many opportunities that we had to cease within minutes to take advantage of.  But Tara and Julian were up to the task and it really paid off!  There were moments when we had to dive into an area to benefit from a reflection off of a building, and other times when we scrambled to get the sun exactly where we wanted it behind the clouds to make beautiful rays raining down around them.  It was fun to be so flexible and just enjoy what nature was giving us!

I can't wait until their September wedding at The Bottle Factory in Monroe, NC!!!
