ROMANTIC BOHO ENGAGEMENT SESSION AT HARTWOOD ACRES MANSION | KAYLA AND JIM - Anne Troxel Photography

Honestly, there was only one person more excited for Kayla and Jim to get married other than Kayla and Jim-

and it was me.

I've known Kayla since our HIGH SCHOOL days when she and I worked together in the school library! She has always, always had an effortlessly cool, free-spirited vibe, and a personality of laid back happiness that spread to everyone around her. The first time I met Jim was in our tiny hometown's summer festival, and I couldn't help but notice the doting way he looked on at her, their little love languages, and most importantly, how happy they were just being together. I immediately knew I HAD to capture them when they finally got engaged, and was thrilled when Kayla agreed to let me art-direct their session at Hartwood Acres!

Jim's First Impression...

“I met Kayla during my second week at college and, shortly after she sent a quick “hi:)” on twitter, our relationship effortlessly grew. Without a doubt, the first thing I noticed about her was her compassion—she was always the first to try to help someone that needed it.”

Kayla's First impression...

“The first time I saw Jim i quickly noticed two things. His beard (HAHAH) and his nose. I thought he was the cutest guy I’ve ever saw. I quickly gathered all the courage to make any type of small talk I could think of! Then the next day i messaged him “ hi(:” on Twitter. Then the rest is history!”
